NCT06340568 · BioNTech SE

A Clinical Study of the Anti-cancer Effects of an Investigational Therapy or Chemotherapy in Patients With Recurring Uterine Cancer

(Fern-EC-01)

What this study is about

The study is divided into two cohorts (group of participants 1 and group of participants 2), to which participants will be enrolled based on the amount of human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) in their tumor sample.

View original scientific description

The study is divided into two cohorts (Cohort 1 and Cohort 2), to which participants will be enrolled based on the amount of human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) in their tumor sample. In Cohort 1, the main goal is to assess how well BNT323 (also known as DB-1303) or chemotherapy (doxorubicin or paclitaxel \[or docetaxel, if participants cannot take paclitaxel\]) works by determining the progression-free survival (PFS) of participants who have been previously treated with immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs). In Cohort 2, the main goal is to assess how well BNT323 works by determining the objective response rate (ORR), that is, the percentage of participants whose tumor shrinks (partial response) or disappears (complete response) after treatment. The safety of BNT323 will also be assessed by following the occurrence of unfavorable/adverse effects that are seen after treatment. Other measures include the pharmacokinetics of BNT323 (or how BNT323 moves through and out of the body), the body's immune response, and the impact on quality of life.

Who can participate

This study lists these criteria on ClinicalTrials.gov. A study coordinator reviews eligibility during screening — this page does not determine whether you qualify.

Inclusion criteria

  • Are female adults (defined as ≥18 years of age or acceptable age according to local regulations at the time of voluntarily giving informed consent).
  • Have histologically confirmed endometrial cancer that:
  • Is recurrent,
  • Has a HER2 IHC score of 1+, 2+ (Cohort 1), or 3+ (Cohort 2) as determined by central laboratory testing for HER2 expression, and
  • Is not defined as a true sarcoma (i.e., leiomyosarcoma or endometrial stromal sarcoma). Note: Uterine carcinosarcoma is allowed.
  • Have measurable disease defined by RECIST v1.1.
  • Have Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) Performance Status of 0, 1 or 2.
  • Have recurrent endometrial cancer and meet any of the following:
  • developed recurrence \<12 months from completing platinum-based chemotherapy given as adjuvant therapy for Stage I to III disease, or
  • developed recurrence after platinum-based chemotherapy in the recurrent/metastatic setting.
  • Have received prior ICI treatment (i.e., anti-programmed death 1/anti-programmed death-ligand 1)
  • Have a life expectancy of ≥12 weeks at screening. Key

Exclusion criteria

  • Are ineligible for all options in the investigator's choice of chemotherapy arm, per local prescribing information and institutional guidelines (applicable to Cohort 1 only).
  • Have a history of small bowel obstruction requiring hospitalization within the past 3 months prior the first dose of study treatment.
  • Have an uncontrolled intercurrent illness that would limit compliance with study requirement or substantially increase risk of incurring adverse events.
  • Have clinically uncontrolled pleural effusion, ascites or pericardial effusion requiring drainage, or peritoneal shunt within 2 weeks prior to the first dose of study treatment.
  • Have a history of (non-infectious) interstitial lung disease (ILD)/pneumonitis that required steroids, have current ILD/pneumonitis, or where suspected ILD/pneumonitis cannot be ruled out by imaging at screening.
  • Participants with prior use of immunosuppressive medication within 14 days prior to the first dose of study treatment, except for intranasal and inhaled corticosteroids or systemic corticosteroids at doses of less than 10 mg/day of prednisone or equivalent, and topical corticosteroids. Participants receiving corticosteroids may continue if the dose is stable upon giving main informed consent.
  • Have a lung-specific intercurrent clinically significant illness including, but not limited to, any underlying pulmonary disorder (e.g., pulmonary emboli within 3 months prior to the first dose of study treatment, severe asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disorder with moderate acute exacerbations, restrictive lung disease, pulmonary fibrosis, radiation pneumonitis, significant pleural effusion etc.), or any autoimmune, connective tissue or inflammatory disorder with pulmonary involvement (i.e., rheumatoid arthritis, Sjogren's syndrome, sarcoidosis etc.), and/or prior pneumonectomy (complete).
  • Have uncontrolled infection requiring systemic antibiotics, antivirals, or antifungals within 2 weeks prior to the first dose of study treatment.
  • Have unresolved toxicities from previous anti-cancer therapy, defined as toxicities (other than alopecia, fatigue, or endocrinopathies that are well controlled) not yet resolved to Grade ≤1 or baseline.
  • Are pregnant or breastfeeding or are planning pregnancy during the study or within 7 months after the last dose of study treatment.
  • Have a history of allergies, hypersensitivities, or intolerance to study treatments (investigational medicinal products and auxiliary medicinal product) including any excipients thereof or to other monoclonal antibodies. Participants who have successfully undergone a desensitization process and are able to tolerate the drug are eligible.
  • Had prior treatment with topoisomerase I inhibitors, including ADCs.
  • Have left ventricular ejection fraction \<55% by either echocardiography or multiple-gated acquisition within 28 days prior to the first dose of study treatment. This includes participants with tissue doppler E/e' ratio \>15. NOTE: Other protocol defined Inclusion/Exclusion criteria apply.

Frequently asked questions

What is a clinical trial?

A clinical trial is a research study that tests new medical treatments, drugs, devices, or procedures to determine their safety and effectiveness. Trials are carefully designed and monitored to protect participants while advancing medical knowledge.

Is it safe to participate?

Clinical trials follow strict safety guidelines and ethical standards. Trials must be reviewed and approved, and participants are closely monitored by medical professionals throughout the study. You can withdraw at any time if you choose.

Will I be compensated?

Many clinical trials offer compensation for your time, travel expenses, and inconvenience. The specific compensation varies by study and will be discussed during the screening process. All study-related medical care is typically provided at no cost to participants.

Will I receive a placebo instead of treatment?

When effective treatment exists, participants typically receive either the standard treatment plus the study intervention, or the standard treatment plus placebo. You would not be denied effective care. Placebos are primarily used when no proven treatment is available, or in addition to standard care. Your trial consent form will clearly explain what treatments you may receive.

Can I leave a trial if I change my mind?

Absolutely. Participation in clinical trials is completely voluntary. You have the right to withdraw from the study at any time, for any reason, without penalty or loss of benefits to which you are otherwise entitled.

How long does a clinical trial last?

Trial duration varies widely depending on the study design and purpose. Some trials last just a few weeks, while others may continue for months or years. The study coordinator will provide specific timeline information during your screening call.
