NRG-GY026: A Phase II/III Study of Paclitaxel/Carboplatin Alone or Combined with either Trastuzumab and Hyaluronidase-Oysk (Herceptin Hylecta) or Pertuzumab, Trastuzumab, and Hyaluronidase-Zzxf (Phesgo) in HER2 Positive, Stage I-IV Endometrial Serous Carcinoma or Carcinosarcoma
We are doing this study to see if we can lower the chance of endometrial cancer coming back and causing death by adding a drug or drugs that target HER2 proteins in addition to the usual combination of chemotherapy drugs. We want to find out if this approach is better or worse than the usual approach for your endometrial cancer. The usual approach is defined as care most people get for endometrial cancer, which in this case would be chemotherapy.

Phase I Study of Peptide Alarm Therapy (PAT) Administered by Intratumoral Injection with a PD-1/PD-L1 Inhibitor in Patients with Solid Tumor Cancers Who Have Failed Two Prior Therapies
This study is testing an “investigational” drug referred to as peptide alarm therapy (PAT) that was specially made for this study. PAT is using the peptide to stimulate the immune system for people who have failed prior treatment with a PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitor. Examples of PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitors are pembrolizumab (Keytruda), nivolumab (Opdivo), cemiplimab (Libtayo), atezolizumab (Tecentriq), avelumab (Bavencio), and durvalumab (Imfinzi). The goal of the 1st part of the study is to identify an acceptable, safe dose of PAT and up to 3 dose levels of PAT will be tested. If dose level 3 is reached without toxicity, it becomes the dose used for the next part of the study. In the 2nd part of the study, additional patients are treated at the PAT dose identified as safe in the 1st part to gain additional safety information and provide an initial estimate of anti-cancer effect.
