The first CE marked assay to aid in identifying dMMR endometrial cancer patients eligible for dostarlimab

The VENTANA MMR RxDx Panel is the first and only immunohistochemistry-based assay panel approved to identify endometrial carcinoma patients eligible for treatment with dostarlimab. Endometrial cancer (EC) is the most common gynaecological malignancy in the U.S. and the fourth most common cancer in women in North America.1,2 It has the highest rates of mismatch repair (MMR) deficiency of all tumors (20-40%).3,4,5 There are limited treatment options for women whose disease progresses on or after first-line therapy.6

What is mismatch repair (MMR)?

DNA mismatch repair is a system for recognizing and repairing errors that can spontaneously occurs during DNA replication. When this mismatch repair mechanism isn’t working properly, it is most commonly attributed to mutations in the MMR proteins, MLH1, PMS2, MSH2, and MSH6.

MMR deficiency serves as a predictive biomarker for a new immunotherapeutic option for patients.7

Multiple studies have demonstrated that MMR deficiency correlates with higher expression of PD-1 or PD-L1, possibly due to increased neoantigen expression associated with tumor mutation burden that results from replication errors.1,8 Thus, MMR proteins may be useful as predictive biomarkers for PD-1 targeted therapy; specifically, a loss of expression of one or more MMR proteins might predict an increased likelihood of response to such therapy.9, 10, 11

Intended use

VENTANA MMR RxDx Panel is a qualitative immunohistochemistry test intended for use in the assessment of mismatch repair (MMR) proteins (MLH1, PMS2, MSH2 and MSH6) in formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded (FFPE) endometrial carcinoma tissue by light microscopy. The OptiView DAB IHC Detection Kit is used for MSH6, MSH2 and MLH1, and the OptiView DAB IHC Detection Kit with the OptiView Amplification Kit is used for PMS2 on a VENTANA BenchMark ULTRA instrument.

VENTANA MMR RxDx Panel is indicated as an aid in identifying patients eligible for treatment with therapies listed in Table 1 for the respective indications and status in accordance with the approved therapeutic product labeling.

Panel interpretation

A loss of expression of any of the essential MMR proteins, including MLH1, PMS2, MSH2, or MSH6, in the presence of evaluable internal controls indicates MMR deficiency. Presence of staining for all four MMR protein markers in the tumor in the presence of evaluable internal controls indicates that the case is proficient for mismatch repair status. Absence of staining in any one of the MMR protein markers of VENTANA MMR RxDx Panel indicates a case is deficient for mismatch repair status.

About the VENTANA MMR IHC Panel

The VENTANA MMR IHC Panel was launched in 2017 as an aid in the identification of Lynch syndrome in patients diagnosed with colorectal cancer. In addition to the same four MMR proteins listed above (MLH1, MSH2, MSH6 and PMS2), the VENTANA MMR IHC Panel also includes VENTANA BRAF V600E (VE1) Mouse Monoclonal Antibody. The combination of these five antibodies are used clinically to aid in the identification of Lynch syndrome, which is a genetic predisposition for colorectal and other cancers.

The antibodies in the VENTANA MMR RxDx Panel are the same as those included in the VENTANA MMR IHC Panel, except for VENTANA BRAF V600E (VE1) - same part numbers, same package inserts, but with two separate intended uses. By keeping the part numbers for the antibodies the same, this offers the opportunity for customers to more easily utilize the additional indication.
