    • First 3 cycles: Dostalimab 500mg every 3 weeks, IV

    • 4 cycles ~ up to 24 months: Dostalimab 1000mg every 6 weeks, IV

    • Bevacizumab administered IV at 15 mg/kg every 3 weeks until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity

  3. Group C: General chemotherapy (one of Pegylated liposomal doxorubicin, Doxorubicin, Paclitaxel, and Gemcitabine)

  5. Patient has a known hypersensitivity to bevacizumab or dostarlimab components orexcipients.

  6. Patient is currently participating and receiving study treatment or has participatedin a study of an investigational agent and received study treatment or used aninvestigational device within 4 weeks of the first dose of treatment.

  7. Patient is considered a poor medical condition due to a serious, uncontrolledmedical disorder, non-malignant systemic disease, or active infection requiringsystemic therapy. Specific examples include, but are not limited to, active,non-infectious pneumonitis; uncontrolled ventricular arrhythmia; recent (within 90days) myocardial infarction; uncontrolled major seizure disorder; unstable spinalcord compression; superior vena cava syndrome; or any psychiatric or substance abusedisorders that would interfere with cooperation with the requirements of the study (including obtaining informed consent).

  8. Patients with known history of non-infectious pneumonitis that required steroids orhas current pneumonitis.

  9. Use of any of the following immunomodulatory agents within 28 days prior to thefirst dose of study drug:

  • Interferons

  • Interleukins

  • Live vaccine Note: Examples of live vaccines include, but are not limited to,the following: measles, mumps, rubella, varicella/zoster, yellow fever, rabies,BCG, and typhoid vaccine. mRNA and adenoviral-based COVID-19 vaccines areconsidered non-live and are not exclusionary. Seasonal influenza vaccines forinjection are generally killed virus vaccines and are allowed as other killedvaccines, if done at least 2 weeks prior the first dose of study drug; however,intranasal influenza vaccines (eg, FluMist®) are live attenuated vaccines andare not allowed.
