Groups and Cohorts

Group/CohortIntervention/Treatment
Arm A: T-DXd + Rilvegostomig
T-DXd IV Q3W plus rilvegostomig IV Q3W. Treatment will continue until objective disease progression according to RECIST v1.1 as assessed by the Investigator and confirmed by BICR or until other discontinuation criteria is met, whichever occurs first.
Drug: Trastuzumab deruxtecan
Experimental therapy by intravenous infusion
Arm B: T-DXd + Pembrolizumab
T-DXd IV Q3W plus pembrolizumab IV Q3W. Treatment will continue until objective disease progression according to RECIST v1.1 as assessed by the Investigator and confirmed by BICR or until other discontinuation criteria is met, whichever occurs first.
Drug: Trastuzumab deruxtecan
Experimental therapy by intravenous infusion
Arm C: Carboplatin + Paclitaxel + Pembrolizumab
Carboplatin, paclitaxel and pembrolizumab administered Q3W during 6 cycles, followed by maintenance with pembrolizumab IV Q6W during 14 cycles. Treatment with pembrolizumab will continue for up to 20 total cycles (approximately 24 months, accounting for combination and maintenance phases) or until other discontinuation criteria is met, whichever occurs first. At the discretion of the investigator, participants may continue to receive carboplatin, paclitaxel and pembrolizumab Q3W for up to 10 cycles. Docetaxel can be used as an alternative to paclitaxel for participants who had a hypersensitivity reaction to paclitaxel with a failed rechallenge (or not amenable to rechallenge), according to the investigator's clinical judgment.
Drug: Pembrolizumab
Immunotherapy by intravenous infusion

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures
  1. Progression-free survival (PFS), as assessed by BICR
    Defined as time from randomization until progression per RECIST 1.1 as assessed by Blinded Independent Central Review (BICR), or death due to any cause.
Secondary Outcome Measures
  1. Overall Survival (OS)
    Defined as the time from randomization until the date of death due to any cause.
  2. Progression Free Survival (PFS) as assessed by the investigator
    PFS by investigator has the same attributes as estimand of PFS by BICR except tumor assessment is by the investigator.
  3. Time from randomization to second progression or death (PFS2)
    PFS2 will be defined as the time from randomization to the earliest of the progression event (following the initial investigator-assessed progression), after first subsequent therapy, or death.
  4. Objective response rate (ORR), as assessed by BICR and investigator
    ORR as assessed and confirmed by BICR is defined as the proportion of participants who have a complete response (CR) or partial response (PR), as determined and confirmed by BICR. ORR as assessed and confirmed by the investigator has the same attributes as estimand of ORR by BICR except tumor assessment per the investigator.
  5. Duration of response (DoR), as assessed by BICR and investigator
    DoR as assessed by BICR will be defined as the time from the date of first documented response of confirmed responders until date of documented progression per RECIST 1.1, or death due to any cause. DoR as assessed by the investigator has the same attributes as estimand of DoR by BICR except tumor assessment per the investigator.
  6. Safety and tolerability
    Safety and tolerability will be evaluated in terms of AEs/serious AEs (SAEs), AESI, vital signs, clinical safety laboratory assessments, ECG and ECHO/MUGA scan results.
  7. Pharmacokinetics of T-DXd, total anti-HER2 antibody, DXd and rilvegostomig
    Serum concentration of T-DXd, total anti-HER2 antibody, DXd and rilvegostomig.
  8. Immunogenicity of T- DXd and rilvegostomig
    Presence of ADAs for T-DXd or rilvegostomig.
  9. Patient-reported tolerability
    Patient-reported tolerability will be described among participants, as treated, using the following outcomes: * Symptomatic AEs: Descriptive summary of the proportion of participants reporting symptomatic AEs while on treatment, as assessed by items from the EORTC Item Library and the FACT/GOG-NTX-4 * Overall side-effect bother: Descriptive summary of the proportion of participants reporting overall side-effect bother on the PGI-TT while on treatment
  10. Progression-free survival (PFS) according to MMR status to determine the clinical utility of a MMR diagnostic test
    PFS is defined as time from randomization until progression per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors, version 1.1 (RECIST 1.1) as assessed by BICR, or death due to any cause.
  11. Overall survival (OS) according to MMR status to determine the clinical utility of a MMR diagnostic test
    OS defined as the time from randomization until the date of death due to any cause.
  12. Progression-free survival (PFS) according to HER2 expression to determine the clinical utility of a HER2 diagnostic test
    PFS is defined as time from randomization until progression per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors, version 1.1 (RECIST 1.1) as assessed by BICR, or death due to any cause.
  13. Overall survival (OS) according to HER2 expression to determine the clinical utility of a HER2 diagnostic test
    OS is defined as the time from randomization until the date of death due to any cause.

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion Criteria
Participants must be ≥ 18 years of age at the time of screening. Other age restrictions may apply as per local regulations.
Histologically confirmed diagnosis of epithelial endometrial carcinoma. All histologies are allowed except for sarcomas (carcinosarcomas are allowed).
Following surgery or diagnostic biopsy, participant must have primary advanced disease (Stage III/IV) or first recurrent endometrial cancer and meet at least one of the following criteria:
Primary Stage III (per FIGO 2023) disease with measurable disease at baseline per RECIST 1.1 based on the investigator's assessment.

Provision of adequate FFPE tumor tissue sample of a tumor lesion that was not previously irradiated for central HER2, MMR, and PD-L1 IHC testing and valid central test results for randomization/ stratification.
Prior therapy:
Naïve to first-line systemic anticancer therapy. Participants may have received one prior line of adjuvant/neoadjuvant chemotherapy with curative intent (chemotherapy or chemoradiation) if disease recurrence or progression occurred ≥ 6 months after last dose of chemotherapy.
