The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has granted full approval for Jemperli (dostarlimab-gxly) for the treatment of adult patients with mismatch repair-deficient (dMMR) recurrent or advanced endometrial cancer, as determined by a US FDA-approved test.
The approval is for endometrial cancer that has progressed on or following a prior platinum-containing regimen in any setting and are not candidates for curative surgery or radiation.
Hesham Abdullah, Senior Vice President, Global Head of Oncology Development, GSK, said: “This US regulatory action confirms our confidence in Jemperli as an important treatment option for patients with dMMR recurrent or advanced endometrial cancer. We continue to unlock the potential of Jemperli as the backbone for our immuno-oncology development programmes to address the unmet needs of patients, including earlier lines of endometrial cancer and other solid tumours.”
In April 2021, Jemperli received accelerated approval for the treatment of adult patients with dMMR recurrent or advanced endometrial cancer that had progressed on or following prior treatment with a platinum-containing regimen.
This approval is based on additional data collected from the A1 expansion cohort of the ongoing GARNET trial, a Phase I, multicentre, open-label, single-arm study of Jemperli monotherapy in patients with advanced or recurrent solid tumours.
Confirmed overall response rate was 45.4%, with a 15.6% complete response rate and a 29.8% partial response rate. Median follow-up for duration of response was 27.9 months.
