Key Takeaways from the Endometrial Cancer Pipeline Report
In August 2025, Iovance Biotherapeutics, Inc. announced a study will enroll participants with advanced endometrial cancer who previously received treatment with platinum-based chemotherapy and an anti-programmed cell death protein-1 (PD-1)/programmed death ligand 1 (PD-L1) agent in a recurrent or advanced setting, either sequentially or in combination.
In August 2025, Merck Sharp & Dohme LLC conducted a clinical study will compare sacituzumab tirumotecan to chemotherapy. The goal of the study is to learn if people who receive sacituzumab tirumotecan live longer overall and without the cancer getting worse compared to people who receive chemotherapy.
In August 2025, Sichuan Baili Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. organized a phase Ib/II clinical study to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics and efficacy of BL-B01D1 for injection in patients with multiple solid tumors, including recurrent or metastatic gynecological malignancies.

Endometrial Cancer Emerging Drugs Profile
Selinexor: Karyopharm Therapeutics
Selinexor (XPOVIO) is a first-in-class, oral exportin 1 (XPO1) inhibitor. XPOVIO functions by selectively binding to and inhibiting the nuclear export protein XPO1. The drug is being explored as a maintenance therapy for patients with advanced or recurrent endometrial cancer, particularly those with TP53 wild-type tumors. This approach is based on findings from the Phase III SIENDO study, which has shown promising results in improving progression-free survival (PFS) for this specific patient population. Currently it is being investigated in Phase III stage of development for the treatment of patients with Endometrial Cancer.
Abemaciclib: Eli Lilly and Company
Abemaciclib, developed by Eli Lilly, is showing promising clinical activity in combination with hormonal therapies for recurrent estrogen receptor (ER)-positive endometrioid endometrial cancer (EEC). In a phase 2 trial, abemaciclib plus hormonal therapy achieved a clinical benefit rate of 67% in EEC patients, with partial and complete responses observed and a median progression-free survival (PFS) around 6.1 months. Another study combining abemaciclib with letrozole demonstrated a 30% objective response rate and a median PFS of 9.1 months, with durable tumor shrinkage or stabilization in 75% of patients. Adding metformin to this combination further improved outcomes, inducing deeper and more durable responses by targeting multiple cancer pathways including estrogen receptor, CDK4/6, and PI3K. These findings support abemaciclib plus hormonal therapy as a promising treatment approach for recurrent ER-positive endometrial cancer, with ongoing trials confirming safety and efficacy.
NP137: NETRIS Pharma
NP137 is a humanized monoclonal antibody (IgG1) targeting netrin-1, a protein overexpressed in a large proportion of human cancers and associated with disease severity and resistance to therapy. By blocking netrin-1, NP137 is designed to restore apoptosis and reverse epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT), addressing critical mechanisms of resistance that limit the effectiveness of immune checkpoint inhibitors. Preclinical and early clinical studies have shown that NP137 has anti-cancer effects both as a monotherapy and in combination with chemotherapy or immunotherapy, with a favorable safety profile. According to the company's pipeline the drug is in the Phase II stage of development for the treatment of patients with Endometrial Cancer.
CT-0508: Carisma Therapeutics
CT-0508 is a human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) targeted chimeric antigen receptor macrophage (CAR-M). It is being evaluated in a landmark Phase I multi-center clinical trial that focuses on patients with recurrent or metastatic HER2-overexpressing solid tumors whose cancers are not eligible for treatment with currently available HER2-targeted therapies or who do not respond to treatment. The trial is enrolling participants who have tumors of any anatomical origin, but with the commonality of overexpressing the HER2 receptor on the cell surface, which is the target for our CAR-M. The Phase 1 clinical trial is first-of-its-kind, marking the first time that genetically engineered macrophages are being studied in humans. The trial continues to enroll patients at seven clinical sites in the U.S., including (i) the University of Pennsylvania Abramson Cancer Center, (ii) the University of North Carolina Lineberger Comprehensive Cancer Center, (iii) the City of Hope National Medical Center, (iv) the MD Anderson Cancer Center, (v) the Sarah Cannon Cancer Research Institute, (vi) Oregon Health & Science University and (vii) Fred Hutchinson Cancer Center.

Ottawa, Bruce Power detail plans to expand medical isotope production

The Bruce Power Nuclear Facility in Tiverton, Ont., is set to expand production of medical isotopes by installing a second system to significantly increase in the plant's ability to produce the cancer-treating elements. The project will receive $13-million from the federal government through the Canadian Medical Isotope Ecosystem, which was established in 2023 to support research and development focused on medical isotopes, which are used to diagnose and treat certain conditions such as cancer. The goal of the program is to create and commercialize innovative treatments in the health care sector. By the end of the year, Bruce Power also plans to file a license application to prepare the isotopes for pharmaceutical processing on-site, rather than sending them abroad. Chief operating officer James Scongack said that work is expected start in the second quarter of 2026. 'It's more than a dream. We're going to put the first steps in place, and we look forward to moving further up that value chain,' Mr. Scongack said, adding the expansion of isotope production was an important first step to get to processing. At the announcement Tuesday, Minister of Energy Tim Hodgson called Bruce Power 'a cornerstone of Canada's clean energy advantage and a beacon of innovation in nuclear medicine,' adding it doesn't get enough credit. Bruce Power produces the medical isotope lutetium-177, a radioactive atom which is used in targeted cancer therapies. As cancer rates increase around the world, so does the market for medical isotopes. More than 40 million procedures are performed worldwide each year using medical isotopes, for both diagnostic and therapeutic purposes. With the market projected to grow from just over $13-billion to more than $45-billion a year in the coming decade, 'Canada has a unique opportunity to lead and prosper, not just as a supplier, but as a super power in energy and health innovation,' Mr. Hodgson said. The Ontario government is also targeting the increasing production. Last month it launched a new expert advisory panel to consult with the Canadian Nuclear Isotope Council, health care providers, hospitals and industry to provide recommendations on how to double the amount of isotopes the province produces by 2030. Ontario's nuclear reactors already produce approximately 50 per cent of the world's isotopes that are used to treat head, neck and cervical cancers and sterilize medical equipment, according to the province. It also produces isotopes that are used for diagnostic imaging of the heart, bones, lungs and kidneys. But Bruce Power is the first commercial nuclear reactor in the world to produce lutetium-177 – which is used in targeted therapy for neuroendocrine tumours and prostate cancer.
