Futibatinib + Pembrolizumab for Endometrial Cancer
What You Need to Know Before You Apply
What is the purpose of this trial?
It's propose this pilot phase 2 study to explore the combination therapy of futibatinib with pembrolizumab in patients with metastatic microsatellite stable (MSS) endometrial carcinoma to provide a well-tolerated regimen for durable responses.
Will I have to stop taking my current medications?
The trial does not specify if you need to stop taking your current medications. However, it mentions that you should not be on certain investigational drugs, live vaccines, or strong inhibitors and inducers of CYP3A4 within specific timeframes before starting the study drugs.

What safety information is available for pembrolizumab in endometrial cancer treatment?
How is the drug combination of Futibatinib and Pembrolizumab unique for treating endometrial cancer?
The combination of Futibatinib and Pembrolizumab is unique because it pairs a targeted therapy (Futibatinib) with an immunotherapy (Pembrolizumab), potentially offering a novel approach for endometrial cancer treatment. Pembrolizumab is already used for certain types of endometrial cancer, but combining it with Futibatinib could enhance its effectiveness by targeting different pathways in the cancer cells.12456
What data supports the effectiveness of the drugs Futibatinib and Pembrolizumab for treating endometrial cancer?
Pembrolizumab has shown effectiveness in treating advanced endometrial cancer, especially in patients with specific genetic features like microsatellite instability-high (MSI-H) or mismatch repair deficient (dMMR) tumors. It has been approved for use in these cases, indicating its potential benefit in treating endometrial cancer.12456
