About this study
This phase III trial tests whether adding trastuzumab and hyaluronidase-oysk (Herceptin Hylecta \[TM\]) or pertuzumab, trastuzumab and hyaluronidase-zzxf (Phesgo \[TM\]) to the usual chemotherapy (paclitaxel and carboplatin) works to shrink tumors in patients with HER2 positive endometrial cancer. Trastuzumab and pertuzumab are monoclonal antibodies and forms of targeted therapy that attach to specific molecules (receptors) on the surface of tumor cells, known as HER2 receptors. When trastuzumab or pertuzumab attach to HER2 receptors, the signals that tell the cells to grow are blocked and the tumor cell may be marked for destruction by the body's immune system. Hyaluronidase is an endoglycosidase. It helps to keep pertuzumab and trastuzumab in the body longer, so that these medications will have a greater effect. Hyaluronidase also allows trastuzumab and trastuzumab/pertuzumab to be given by injection under the skin and shortens their administration time compared to trastuzumab or pertuzumab alone. Paclitaxel is a taxane and in a class of medications called antimicrotubule agents. It stops tumor cells from growing and dividing and may kill them. Carboplatin is in a class of medications known as platinum-containing compounds. It works in a way similar to the anticancer drug cisplatin, but may be better tolerated than cisplatin. Carboplatin works by killing, stopping or slowing the growth of tumor cells. Giving Herceptin Hylecta or Phesgo in combination with paclitaxel and carboplatin may shrink the tumor and prevent the cancer from coming back in patients with HER2 positive endometrial cancer.

You may qualify if…
- ✓ Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics (FIGO) 2009 stage IA-IVB, non-recurrent, chemotherapy (chemo)-naive, HER2-positive endometrial cancer. The following endometrial cancer types are eligible:
- ✓ Serous
- ✓ Other endometrial cancers (including clear cell, endometrioid, mixed epithelial, dedifferentiated/undifferentiated)
- ✓ Carcinosarcoma
- ✓ NOTE: Endometrial cancers that are mismatch repair deficient (dMMR) by IHC are not eligible
- ✓ Histologic confirmation of the original primary tumor is required. Submission of surgical pathology report (or endometrial biopsy pathology report in patients who never undergo hysterectomy) is required
- ✓ Patients must be within 8 weeks of primary surgery (or endometrial biopsy in patients who never undergo hysterectomy) at the time of study registration
- ✓ Patients may have measurable disease, non-measurable disease, or no measurable disease. In patients with measurable disease, lesions will be defined and monitored by RECIST v 1.1. Measurable disease is defined as at least one lesion that can be accurately measured in at least one dimension (longest diameter to be recorded). Each lesion must be \>= 10 mm when measured by CT or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Lymph nodes must be \>= 15 mm in short axis when measured by CT or MRI
You may not qualify if…
- ✕ Prior Therapy:
- ✕ Patients must NOT have received prior chemotherapy, biologic therapy, or targeted therapy for treatment of endometrial carcinoma
- ✕ Patients must NOT have received prior radiation therapy for treatment of endometrial carcinoma. Prior radiation includes external beam pelvic radiation therapy, external beam extended field pelvic/para-aortic radiation therapy, and/or intravaginal brachytherapy
- ✕ NOTE: Vaginal brachytherapy for treatment of endometrial cancer is permitted during study treatment. Planned use of vaginal brachytherapy must be declared at time of registration
- ✕ Patients may have received prior hormonal therapy for treatment of endometrial carcinoma. All hormonal therapy must be discontinued at least one week prior to registration
- ✕ Patients may not have a planned interval cytoreduction or hysterectomy, prior to documentation of progression, after study registration
- ✕ Patients may not have planned external beam radiotherapy, prior to documentation of progression, after study registration
- ✕ Significant cardiovascular disease including:
