1.Has a histologically confirmed diagnosis of inoperable, Stage III/IV, persistent or recurrent EC or carcinosarcoma (mixed Mullerian tumor) that is centrally confirmed as dMMR.
2.Has radiographically evaluable disease, either measurable or nonmeasurable per RECIST 1.1, as assessed by the investigator.
Prior Therapy
3.Has received no prior systemic therapy for EC.
4.Is female, at least 18 years of age at the time of providing the informed consent (either Authorization for Release of Tumor Tissue or main study consent).
5.Has ECOG performance status of 0 or 1 within 7 days before randomization.
6.A female participant is eligible to participate if she is not pregnant or breastfeeding, and at least one of the following conditions applies:
-Is not a WOCBP
OR
-Is a WOCBP and using a contraceptive method that is highly effective (with a failure rate of <1% per year), with low user dependency, or be abstinent from heterosexual intercourse as their preferred and usual lifestyle (abstinent on a long-term and persistent basis) during the intervention period and for at least the time needed to eliminate each study intervention after the last dose of study intervention and agrees not to donate eggs (ova, oocytes) to others or freeze/store for her own use for the purpose of reproduction during this period. The length of time required to continue contraception for each study intervention is as follows:
- Pembrolizumab (120 days after last dose)
- Chemotherapy (180 days after last dose)
The investigator should evaluate the potential for contraceptive method failure in relationship to the first dose of study intervention.
A WOCBP must have a negative highly sensitive pregnancy test (urine or serum) as required by local regulations) within 24 hours for urine or 72 hours for serum before the first dose of study intervention.
If a urine test cannot be confirmed as negative, a serum pregnancy test is required. In such cases, the participant must be excluded from participation if the serum pregnancy result is positive.
Additional requirements for pregnancy testing during and after study intervention must adhere to protocol.
Abstains from breastfeeding during the study intervention period and for at least 120 days after the last dose of pembrolizumab, 30 days after the last dose of cytotoxic chemotherapy agents (paclitaxel, docetaxel, carboplatin, cisplatin), or as per local regulations.
The investigator is responsible for review of medical history, menstrual history, and recent sexual activity to decrease the risk for inclusion of a woman with an early undetected pregnancy.
Contraceptive use by women should be consistent with local regulations regarding the methods of contraception for those participating in clinical studies. If the contraception requirements in the local label for any of the study interventions is more stringent than the requirements above, the local label requirements are to be followed.
7.The participant (or legally acceptable representative) has provided documented informed consent/assent for the study. The participant may also provide consent/assent for FBR. However, the participant may participate in the study without participating in FBR.
8.Provides an archival tumor tissue sample or newly obtained (core, incisional, or excisional) biopsy of a tumor lesion not previously irradiated for verification of dMMR status and histology.
9.If HBsAg positive is eligible if they have received HBV antiviral therapy for at least 4 weeks and has undetectable HBV viral load prior to randomization.
Hepatitis B screening tests are not required unless:
-Known history of HBV infection
-As mandated by local health authority
Refer to the protocol for country-specific requirements.
10.With history of HCV infection is eligible if HCV viral load is undetectable at screening.
Hepatitis C screening tests are not required unless:
-Known history of HCV infection
-As mandated by local health authority
Refer to the protocol for country-specific requirements.
11.Has adequate organ function. Specimens must be collected within 7 days before randomization. |

9.Has a diagnosis of immunodeficiency or is receiving chronic systemic steroid therapy (in dosing exceeding 10 mg daily of prednisone equivalent) or any other form of immunosuppressive therapy within 7 days prior the first dose of study intervention.
10.Has a known additional malignancy that is progressing or has required active treatment within the past 3 years.
11.Has known active CNS metastases and/or carcinomatous meningitis. Participants with previously treated brain metastases may participate provided they are radiologically stable, for at least 4 weeks by repeat imaging, clinically stable and without requirement of steroid treatment for at least 14 days before the first dose of study intervention.
12.Has a known intolerance to any study intervention and/or any of its excipients.
13.Has an active autoimmune disease that has required systemic treatment in past 2 years.

Has a history or current evidence of any condition, therapy, laboratory abnormality, or other circumstance that might confound the results of the study or interfere with the participant's participation for the full duration of the study, such that it is not in the best interest of the participant to participate, in the opinion of the treating investigator.
18.Has had an allogenic tissue/solid organ transplant. Refer to the protocol for country-specific requirements. |
