Study of Fruquintinib Plus Sintilimab for Treatment of Advanced Endometrial Cancer

The goal of this study is to evaluate whether fruquintinib(HMPL-013) plus sintilimab(IBI308) is safe and effective in the treatment of advanced endometrial cancer(EMC).

A randomized, open, positive-controlled, multicenter Phase III clinical study to compare the efficacy and safety of fruquintinib(HMPL-013) plus sintilimab(IBI308) versus chemotherapy in patients with advanced endometrial cancer who have progressed after first-line standard chemotherapy

7. Radical radiotherapy within 4 weeks before randomization
8. Previously received any anti-programmed cell death receptor-1 (PD-1) antibody, anti-PD-L1(programmed death ligand-1) antibody, anti-PD-L2(programmed death ligand-2) antibody, or anti cytotoxic T lymphocyte-associated antigen-4 (CTLA-4) antibody or any other antibody acting on T cell costimulation or checkpoint pathways (eg, OX40, CD137, etc) or small molecule vascular endothelial growth factor receptor (VEGFR) tyrosine kinase inhibitors;
9. Symptomatic or treatment-requiring thyroid dysfunction at screening;
10. Use of immunosuppressive agents within 4 weeks before randomization
11. Presence of any active autoimmune disease requiring systemic treatment or history of autoimmune disease within the past 2 years;
12. Systemic immunostimulants within 4 weeks before randomization;
13. Administration of any live or live-attenuated vaccine within 4 weeks before randomization or planned during the study;
14. Major surgical procedures within 4 weeks before randomization;
15. Uncontrolled malignant pleural effusion, ascites or pericardial effusion;
16. Patients with current hypertension uncontrolled by medication;
17. Patients with any current disease or condition affecting drug absorption, or patients unable to take oral medications;
18. Receiving strong inducers of cytochrome P450 3A4 enzyme;
19. Patients with gastrointestinal diseases or unresected tumors with active bleeding, or other conditions that may cause gastrointestinal bleeding and perforation as judged by the investigator; or with gastrointestinal perforation or gastrointestinal fistula, which is not recovered after surgical treatment;
20. Active bleeding within 3 weeks before randomization, or melena, or bleeding from a tumor within 2 weeks before the first dose ;
21. Tumor invading major vascular structures and is judged by the investigator to be at greater risk of massive haemorrhage;
22. Patients who had arterial thrombosis or deep venous thrombosis within 6 months before randomization; or patients who had stroke events and/or transient ischemic attack within 12 months; patients who had thrombosis caused by implantable intravenous infusion pump or catheter, except patients who had stable thrombosis after conventional anticoagulant therapy;

25. Active infection or fever of unknown origin before randomization;
26. Patients with active pulmonary tuberculosis (TB) receiving anti-tuberculosis treatment or anti-tuberculosis treatment within 1 year before randomization;
27. Patients with previous and current history of pulmonary fibrosis, interstitial pneumonia, pneumoconiosis, radiation pneumonitis, drug-related pneumonia, severely impaired pulmonary function, which may interfere with the detection and management of suspected drug-related pulmonary toxicity; previous or current (non-infectious) pulmonary inflammation requiring steroid hormone therapy;
28. Positive human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) antibody screening;
29. Known history of clinically significant liver disease
30. Known hypersensitivity to any of the study drugs or any of their excipients, or previous history of serious hypersensitivity to any other monoclonal antibody;

34. Patients with known psychiatric disorders or substance abuse disorders that could affect study compliance;
35. Patients who, in the opinion of the investigator, have other reasons that would make them inappropriate for this clinical study.
