Aims: Safety has been reported for immunotherapy+chemotherapy combinations in endometrial cancer (EC), although the timing of adverse events (AEs) and the longer-term AE profile is not yet clear. This analysis examines the time course of study treatment–related AEs (TRAEs) during the phase 3 RUBY trial (NCT03981796; funding: GSK study 213361) of dostarlimab+carboplatin-paclitaxel (CP) versus placebo+CP in patients with primary advanced or recurrent EC (pA/rEC).
Methods: Patients with pA/rEC were randomized 1:1 to dostarlimab+CP or placebo+CP Q3W (6 cycles), then dostarlimab or placebo monotherapy Q6W for up to 3 years. AEs were assessed per Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events v4.03 and summarized by quarter.
Results: The safety population included 487 patients who received ≥1 dose of treatment (dostarlimab+CP: n=241; placebo+CP: n=246). TRAEs occurred in 97.9% and 98.8% of patients in the dostarlimab+CP and placebo+CP arms, respectively. The most common TRAEs in the dostarlimab+CP and placebo+CP groups were alopecia (52.3% and 48.4%), fatigue (47.7% and 48.0%), and nausea (45.6% and 40.7%). In both arms, the majority of the most common TRAEs (≥30%) and grade ≥3 TRAEs (≥10%) occurred within the first 3–6 months of treatment; TRAEs occurred after the first 12 months in 2.5% and 0.4% of the dostarlimab+CP and placebo+CP arms, respectively. The timing of immune-related AEs was generally consistent with this finding.
Conclusions: Most TRAEs seen in the RUBY trial occurred within the first 3–6 months, with limited differences between arms. This timing is consistent with the patients’ receipt of chemotherapy. Few patients experienced onset of new TRAEs in the dostarlimab+CP arm after 12 months. These data further support a favorable long-term benefit-risk profile of dostarlimab+CP in patients with pA/rEC.
