Biomarkers and Treatment Efficacy in pMMR Endometrial Cancer – ENGOT
ENGOT shared a post on LinkedIn about a paper by Els Van Nieuwenhuysen et al. published in Gynaecological Oncology:
“Suggested reading for the week: A new publication reports exploratory biomarker analyses from the ENGOT-en10/BGOG/GOG-3041/DUO-E Phase III trial in patients with mismatch repair proficient (pMMR) advanced or recurrent endometrial cancer.
The study evaluated carboplatin/paclitaxel plus durvalumab followed by durvalumab with or without olaparib compared with carboplatin/paclitaxel alone. In the pMMR subpopulation, exploratory analyses showed a highly heterogeneous biomarker landscape, with frequent overlap between biomarkers and tumour histologies. Across multiple biomarker and histological subgroups, progression-free survival hazard ratios favoured both durvalumab-containing treatment arms compared with control, with the durvalumab plus olaparib arm favoured in most assessed subgroups.
For patients, these findings add to the evidence that carboplatin/paclitaxel plus durvalumab followed by durvalumab plus olaparib may help delay disease progression in pMMR endometrial cancer, a group in which tumours can be biologically diverse.
The trial was led by The GOG Foundation, Inc with the Belgian Gynaecological Oncology Group as the ENGOT lead group in cooperation with CEEGOG, GEICO – Spanish Gynaecological Cancer Research Group, HeCOG-Hellenic Cooperative Oncology Group, ISGO, NOGGO e.V., NSGO-CTU and PGOG
Prof. Els Van Nieuwenhuysen (BGOG,) has previously presented findings at ESGO 2025 and IGCS 2024. Watch the videos on our website.
