Dostarlimab, sold under the brand name Jemperli, is a medication used to treat certain solid tumors such as endometrial cancer.[1] Specifically it is used for mismatch repair deficient (dMMR) recurrent or advanced cancer.[1] Benefits were seen in 44% of cases.[5] It is given by gradual injection into a vein.[5]

Common side effects include tiredness, nausea, diarrhea, and anemia.[1] Other side effects may include joint pain, itching, rash, fever, and low thyroid.[5] Severe side effect may include pneumonitis, colitis and hepatitis due to immune dysfunction.[1] Use during pregnancy may harm the baby.[1] It is a monoclonal antibody which blocks programmed death receptor-1 (PD-1), thus allowing the immune system to kill cancer cells.[1][5]

Dostarlimab was approved for medical use in the United States and Europe in 2021.[1][5] In the United States it costs about 11,400 USD per 500 mg as of 2022.[7] In the United Kingdom this amount costs about £5,900.[8]

Medical uses

Dostarlimab is used to treat adults with mismatch repair deficient (dMMR) recurrent or advanced endometrial cancer, that has progressed on or following prior treatment with a platinum-containing regimen.[6][1][5]

In 2021, the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) granted accelerated approval to dostarlimab for adults with mismatch repair deficient (dMMR) recurrent or advanced solid tumors, as determined by an FDA-approved test, that have progressed on or following prior treatment and who have no satisfactory alternative treatment options.[9][10]

Dosage

The dose is 500 mg once every 3 weeks for the first 4 doses and then 1,000 mg every 6 weeks.[5]

Side effects

Serious adverse reactions in >2% of patients included sepsis, acute kidney injury, urinary tract infection, abdominal pain, and pyrexia.[6][1]

Immune-mediated side effects can occur including pneumonitis, colitis, hepatitis, endocrinopathies, and nephritis.[6][1]

Mechanism of action

Activity of dostarlimab against cancer cells[11]

In terms of the mechanism of action dostarlimab acts as a antagonist for programmed death-1 receptors. It stops the interaction of receptors with PD-L1 and PD-L2, this as a consequence activates T-cells and enhances immunity.[11]

History

Dostarlimab is a PD-1 inhibitor. As of 2020, it was undergoing Phase I/II and Phase III clinical trials.[12][13][14] In 2020, the manufacturer, Tesaro, announced preliminary successful results from the Phase I/II GARNET study.[12][15][16]

In 2020, the GARNET study announced that dostarlimab was demonstrating potential to treat a subset of women with recurrent or advanced endometrial cancer.[17]

In April 2021, dostarlimab was approved for the treatment of recurrent or advanced endometrial cancer with deficient mismatch repair (dMMR), which are genetic abnormalities that disrupt DNA repair.[18]

In April 2021, the Food and Drug Administration granted accelerated approval to dostarlimab-gxly (Jemperli, GlaxoSmithKline).[6] Efficacy was evaluated based on cohort (A1) in GARNET Trial (NCT02715284), a multicenter, multicohort, open-label trial in participants with advanced solid tumors.[6]

A 2022 early clinical study of dostarlimab reported a 100% remission rate in 14 patients who had mismatch repair deficiency in their rectal cancer, a type of genetic mutation that affects only 5-10% of cases.[19]

Society and culture

Dostarlimab is the international nonproprietary name (INN).[20]

Legal status

On 25 February 2021, the Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use (CHMP) of the European Medicines Agency (EMA) adopted a positive opinion, recommending the granting of a conditional marketing authorization for the medicinal product, intended for the treatment of certain types of recurrent or advanced endometrial cancer.[21] The applicant for this medicinal product is GlaxoSmithKline (Ireland) Limited.[21] Dostarlimab was approved for medical use in the European Union in April 2021.[5]
