Key requirements
Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.
- Ages 18 years and older
- Women only
- No healthy volunteers
- Adult, Older adult
- Patient is at least 18 years of age.
- Patient is able to provide informed consent and able to comply with treatment and follow up schedule.

About this study
RODEO is a window of opportunity trial using dostarlimab in patients with newly diagnosed high-risk (stage 2-4) endometrial cancer who are suitable for primary surgery. Patients will receive 2 doses of dostarlimab (500mg IV day 1 and day 22) prior to surgery. The primary objective is to assess the pathological response rate to pre-operative dostarlimab and the secondary objectives are to assess the feasibility, toxicity, safety and efficacy of pre-operative dostarlimab.
Read the detailed description
Background Endometrial cancer is the most common invasive gynaecological malignancy and its incidence is predicted to double by 2030. Surgery remains the most effective treatment modality to cure operable early-stage and high-risk cancers but despite the use of adjuvant therapies, a proportion of patients will relapse due to the presence of micrometastases that cannot be detected at the time of primary treatment. Immune checkpoint inhibitors have been evaluated in endometrial cancer, for example, the GARNET trial demonstrated the benefit of dostarlimab (anti-PD1) in women with relapsed/advanced endometrial cancer. Pre-operative immunotherapy is an evolving strategy that consists of administering an ICI, either as monotherapy or in combination before surgical resection in high-risk resectable disease, in the window between diagnosis and primary surgery
Aims RODEO is a proposed window trial using dostarlimab in patients with newly diagnosed high-risk (stage 2-4)endometrial cancer who are suitable for primary surgery. The primary objective is to assess the pathological response rate to pre-operative dostarlimab and the secondary objectives are to assess the feasibility, toxicity, safety and efficacy of pre-operative dostarlimab.
Methods Patients will receive 2 doses of dostarlimab (500mg IV day 1 and day 22) prior to surgery.
How the results of this research will be used. This trial will investigate the efficacy and safety of dostarlimab in this setting and multiple translational and clinical endpoints will be explored. It will provide a unique opportunity to study the immune microenvironment in treatment naïve tumours and help determine key mechanisms involved in the response and resistance to therapy, with the potential to develop biomarkers which may elucidate response beyond MMR status, so widening the potential benefit of this agent and assisting in future patient selection.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 2 study testing Dostarlimab in people with Endometrial Cancer, run by University College, London.
The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.
Who may be eligible to take part?
Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.
Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?
The record says: opening soon, as of the sponsor's last update on 19 Aug 2025. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
What does this phase mean?
Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.
Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.
Are results available for this study?
This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
Contact Katie Wilkinson, BSc (+44 20 31088123, ctc.RODEO@ucl.ac.uk), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Pathological response rate (time frame: At time of surgery). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 19 Aug 2025.
