Avelumab + Talazoparib/Axitinib for Endometrial Cancer

Phase 2
Waitlist Available
Led By Panagiotis Konstantinopoulos, MD, PhD
Research Sponsored by Dana-Farber Cancer Institute
Eligibility Criteria Checklist
Specific guidelines that determine who can or cannot participate in a clinical trial
Must have
Age of 18 or greater years. Because insufficient dosing or adverse event data are currently available on the use of Avelumab, talazoparib, and/or axitinib in participants < 18 years of age, children are excluded from the study. Endometrial cancer is very rare in the pediatric population.
Additional inclusion criteria for the avelumab/axitinib cohort: Participants must have adequately controlled blood pressure and LVEF ≥ lower limit of normal (LLN) as assessed by either multigated acquisition (MUGA) scan or echocardiogram (ECHO)

Study Summary

This trial is testing Avelumab as a possible treatment for endometrial cancer that has come back or spread. It will be tested alone and with Talazoparib or Axitinib.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for women with recurrent or persistent endometrial cancer who haven't used PD-1/PD-L1 pathway drugs, PARP inhibitors (for certain cohorts), or axitinib. They must be adults with at least one prior chemotherapy regimen, not pregnant/breastfeeding, and have normal organ/marrow function. Participants need measurable disease by RECIST 1.1 standards and no severe illnesses that could interfere.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests Avelumab alone and in combination with Talazoparib or Axitinib for treating endometrial cancer that has returned or hasn't responded to treatment. It aims to find out how well these treatments work on different genetic types of the cancer: MSS, MSI-H, and POLE-mutated.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Possible side effects include immune-related reactions due to Avelumab (like inflammation in organs), blood pressure changes from Axitinib use, and bone marrow suppression which might lead to anemia or infections because of Talazoparib.

What is the current size of this experiment's cohort?

"Correct. According to the information on clinicaltrials.gov, this medical study was initially shared on November 14th 2016 and is actively recruiting participants as of June 27th 2022. The trial requires 105 patients from 4 different sites."

Answered by AI

Has Avelumab attained regulatory acceptance from the FDA?

"Prior data indicates that Avelumab is safe and thus earned a score of 2. This medication has reached phase two trials, yet efficacy remains untested."

Answered by AI

What particular medical conditions may Avelumab be deployed to manage?

"Patients with brca1 gene mutations, Merkel cell carcinoma, and malignant neoplasms may all benefit from Avelumab therapy."

Answered by AI

Is enrollment for this study still open?

"Affirmative. Information on clinicaltrials.gov attests that this research endeavour, which was first advertised on November 14th 2016, is presently recruiting participants. Approximately 105 human subjects need to be enrolled from 4 distinct medical centres."

Answered by AI
