The purpose of this study is to find out whether the study drug, TSR-042, followed by standard chemoradiotherapy (the chemotherapy drug capecitabine + radiation therapy) and standard surgery is an effective treatment for advanced dMMR solid tumors. The study will also look at the safety of the study drug.
Interventions
DRUG
TSR-042 or Dostarlimab
Patients will be given TSR-042/Dostarlimab at a dose of 500mg IV, over 30 minutes Q 3 weeks.
DRUG
capecitabine or 5-FU
Capecitabine 825mg/m2 BID concurrently with radiation per standard radiation guidelines. If patient is unable to tolerate oral medication, infusional 5-FU is an acceptable alternative.
RADIATION
Intensity Modulated Radiation Therapy (IMRT)
The radiation dose is 5400 cGy to the tumor and surrounding nodes 4700 cGy to the pelvis, with an integrated boost to the primary tumor and involved nodes of receiving 5400cGy in 27fx.
Primary outcome measures
Pathologic complete response (pCR) or complete clinical response (cCR) at 12 months
Time frame: 12 months
To determine the pathologic complete response rate (pCR) or complete clinical response (cCR) rate at 12 months, after PD-1 blockade and with or without chemoradiation in subjects with mismatch repair deficient locally advanced adenocarcinoma.

Documented hysterectomy or oophorectomy must be confirmed with medical records of the actual procedure or confirmed by an ultrasound. Tubal ligation must be confirmed with medical records of the actual procedure, otherwise the patient must be willing to use 2 adequate barrier methods throughout the study.

- Has QTcF ≤ 450 msec, or ≤ 480 msec for participants with bundle branch block.
- Demonstrate adequate organ function as defined below within 14 days of Cycle 1, Day 1, all screening labs should be performed within 14 days of treatment initiation.
- Hematological
- Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) ≥1,500 /mcL
- Platelets ≥100,000 / mcL
- Hemoglobin \>9 g/dL or ≥5.6 mmol/L
- Serum creatinine OR Measured or calculated(a) creatinine clearance (GFR can also be used in place of creatinine or CrCl) ≤1.5 × upper limit of normal (ULN) OR ≥60 mL/min for subject with creatinine levels \> 1.5 × institutional ULN
- Serum total bilirubin ≤ 1.5 × ULN OR Direct bilirubin ≤ ULN for subjects with total bilirubin levels \> 1.5 ULN
- AST (SGOT) and ALT (SGPT) ≤ 2.5 × ULN
- Coagulation
- International Normalized Ratio (INR) or Prothrombin Time (PT) Activated Partial Thromboplastin Time (aPTT) ≤1.5 × ULN unless subject is receiving anticoagulant therapy as long as PT or PTT is within therapeutic range of intended use of anticoagulants ≤1.5 × ULN unless subject is receiving anticoagulant therapy as long as PT or PTT is within therapeutic range of intended (a) Creatinine clearance should be calculated per institutional standard.
Exclusion criteria
- Presence of metastatic or recurrent disease
- Prior radiation therapy, chemotherapy, or surgery for tumor a. NOTE: For Cohort 3, patients are allowed to have received prior hormonal therapy for treatment of endometrial hyperplasia and/or endometrial cancer. Hormonal therapy must be discontinued at least 1-week prior to first dose of study treatment (dostarlimab).
- For patients with colorectal primary -Tumor is causing symptomatic bowel obstruction (patients who have a temporary diverting ostomy are eligible).
- Cohort 1 Only: Other invasive malignancy ≤ 5 years prior to registration. Exceptions are non-melanoma skin cancer that has undergone potentially curative therapy and in situ cervical carcinoma.
- Diagnosis of immunodeficiency or receiving systemic steroid therapy or any other form of non- physiologic dose immunosuppressive therapy within 7 days prior to first dose of trial treatment.
- Active autoimmune disease requiring systemic treatment within the past 2 years or documented history of clinically severe autoimmune disease, or a syndrome that requires systemic steroids or immunosuppressive agents at non-physiologic doses.
- Active infection requiring systemic therapy.
- Cohort 1 \& 3: Received prior therapy with an antibody or drug specifically targeting T- cell co-stimulation or checkpoint pathways.
- Experienced ≥ Grade 3 immune-related AE with prior immunotherapy, except for non-clinically significant lab abnormalities.
- Other Anticancer or Experimental Therapy. No other experimental therapies (including chemotherapy, radiation, hormonal treatment, antibody therapy, immunotherapy, gene therapy, vaccine therapy, angiogenesis inhibitors, matrix metalloprotease inhibitors, thalidomide, anti-VEGF/Flk-1 monoclonal antibody or other experimental drugs) of any kind are permitted while the patient is receiving study treatment.
- Known history of Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) (HIV 1/2 antibodies)
- Known active Hepatitis B (e.g., HBsAg reactive) or Hepatitis C (e.g., HCV RNA \[qualitative\] is detected).
- Women who are pregnant or breastfeeding, or men expecting to conceive or father children within the projected duration of the trial, starting with the pre-screening visit through 150 days after the last dose of study medication.
- Concurrent medical or psychiatric condition or disease which, in the investigator's judgement, would make them inappropriate candidates for entry into the study. Examples include, but are not limited to, uncontrolled ventricular arrhythmia, recent (within 90 days) myocardial infarction, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, uncontrolled major seizure disorder, unstable spinal cord compression, superior vena cava syndrome, or any psychiatric disorder that prohibits obtaining informed consent.
- Received a live vaccine within 30 days of planned start of study medication.
- Major surgical procedure, open biopsy, or significant traumatic injury within 28 days prior to enrollment. a. NOTE: For Cohort 3: endometrial sampling (e.g., biopsies, dilatation and curettage), is NOT considered major surgical procedure.

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.
