Information for the public
Dostarlimab (Jemperli) is available with managed access as a possible treatment for primary advanced or recurrent endometrial cancer in adults if:
- the cancer has high microsatellite instability or mismatch repair deficiency and
- they are candidates for systemic treatment (treatments that work throughout the whole body, such as injections, infusions or medicines taken by mouth).
More evidence on dostarlimab is being collected. After this, NICE will decide whether or not to recommend dostarlimab for routine use in the NHS and update the guidance. It will be available with managed access until then.
If you are not eligible for dostarlimab but are already having it, you should be able to continue until you and your doctor decide when best to stop.
Is this treatment right for me?
Your healthcare professionals should give you clear information, talk with you about your options and listen carefully to your views and concerns. Your family can be involved too, if you wish. See our webpage on making decisions about your care.
Questions to think about
- How well does it work compared with other treatments?
- What are the risks or side effects? How likely are they?
- How will the treatment affect my day-to-day life?
- What happens if the treatment does not work?
- What happens if I do not want to have treatment? Are there other treatments available?
