Full Title
A Phase II trial of Pembrolizumab plus Olaparib for the Treatment of Patients with Persistent/Recurrent Endometrial CancersPurpose
The purpose of this study is to assess the safety and effectiveness of combining pembrolizumab immunotherapy and olaparib to treat people with endometrial cancer or endometrial carcinosarcoma that has continued to grow or came back despite treatment. Pembrolizumab works by boosting the ability of the immune system to detect and destroy cancer cells. Olaparib destroys cancer cells by preventing them from repairing damage to the genetic information that helps them survive and grow.
Both medications are used to treat other cancers; their use in this study is considered investigational. Pembrolizumab is given intravenously (by vein) and olaparib is taken orally (by mouth).
