A Phase 3 Randomized, Open-label, Multicenter Study to Compare the Efficacy and Safety of Sacituzumab Tirumotecan (Sac-TMT, MK-2870) in Combination With Pembrolizumab Versus Pembrolizumab Alone as First-line Maintenance Treatment in Participants With Mismatch Repair Proficient Endometrial Cancer (TroFuse-033/GOG-3119/ENGOT-en29)

NCT ID: NCT06952504Sponsor: Merck Sharp & Dohme LLCLast updated: 2026-06-03

Summary

Researchers are looking for new ways to treat people with proficient mismatch repair (pMMR) endometrial cancer (EC) that is advanced or recurrent. * EC is a type of cancer that starts in the tissues inside the uterus (womb) * pMMR indicates that certain normal proteins are present in the cancer cells * Advanced means the cancer has spread locally or to other parts of the body (metastatic) and cannot be removed with surgery * Recurrent means the cancer came back after surgery Sacituzumab tirumotecan (also known as sac-TMT) and pembrolizumab are the study medicines. Sac-TMT is an antibody drug conjugate (ADC). An ADC attaches to specific targets on cancer cells and delivers treatment to destroy those cells. The goal of this study is to learn if people who receive sac-TMT with pembrolizumab live longer and without the cancer getting worse compared to people who receive pembrolizumab alone.

Detailed description

All participants undergo an initial Induction Phase of six cycles, each cycle consisting of pembrolizumab + carboplatin + paclitaxel or docetaxel. Each cycle is three weeks. Participants whose cancer does not progress enter the Maintenance Treatment Phase and are then randomly assigned to pembrolizumab + sac-TMT or pembrolizumab monotherapy. Participants whose cancer does progress will have the possibility to enter the Subsequent Treatment Phase and are then randomly assigned to pembrolizumab + sac-TMT or sac-TMT monotherapy.

Arms & interventions

  • BiologicalPembrolizumab

    Intravenous (IV) Infusion

  • DrugCarboplatin

    During the Induction Phase, participants receive carboplatin AUC 5 (mg/mL/min) on Day 1 of each 3-week cycle for 6 cycles (up to approximately 4 months) via IV infusion.

  • DrugPaclitaxel

    During the Induction Phase, participants receive paclitaxel 175 mg/m\^2 on Day 1 of each 3-week cycle for 6 cycles (up to approximately 4 months) via IV infusion.

  • DrugDocetaxel

    During the Induction Phase, participants may receive docetaxel (in place of paclitaxel) 75 mg/m\^2 on Day 1 of each 3-week cycle for 6 cycles (up to approximately 4 months) via IV infusion.

  • BiologicalSacituzumab Tirumotecan

    IV Infusion

Outcome measures

Primary

  • Maintenance Treatment: Progression-Free Survival (PFS)

    PFS is defined as the time from randomization to the first documented progressive disease (PD) or death due to any cause, whichever occurs first as assessed by Response Criteria in Solid Tumors Version 1.1 (RECIST 1.1) as evaluated by the blinded independent central review (BICR). PD is defined as ≥20% increase in the sum of diameters of target lesions. In addition to the relative increase of 20%, the sum must also demonstrate an absolute increase of ≥5 mm. The appearance of one or more new lesions is also considered PD.

    Time frame: Up to approximately 44 months

  • Maintenance Treatment: Overall Survival (OS)

    OS is defined as time from randomization to death due to any cause.

    Time frame: Up to approximately 54 months

Secondary

  • Maintenance Treatment: Progression-Free Survival 2 (PFS2) as Assessed by Investigator

    Time frame: Up to approximately 54 months

  • Maintenance Treatment: Number of Participants Who Experience One or More Adverse Events (AEs)

    Time frame: Up to approximately 27 months

  • Maintenance Treatment: Number of Participants Who Discontinue Study Intervention Due to an AE

    Time frame: Up to approximately 24 months

  • Maintenance Treatment: Change from baseline in European Organization for the Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire Core 30 (EORTC QLQ-C30) Global Health Status/Quality of Life (Items 29 and 30) Mean Score

    Time frame: Baseline and up to approximately 24 months

  • Maintenance Treatment: Change from baseline in EORTC QLQ-C30 Physical Functioning (Items 1-5) Combined Score

    Time frame: Baseline and up to approximately 24 months

  • Maintenance Treatment: Change from baseline in EORTC QLQ-C30 Role Functioning (Items 6 and 7) Combined Score

    Time frame: Baseline and up to approximately 24 months

  • Maintenance Treatment: Change from baseline in EORTC QLQ-EN24 Symptom Score

    Time frame: Baseline and up to approximately 24 months
