Endometrial cancer (EC) of the uterus is becoming more common in the US. Sometimes EC often has increased levels of a protein called HER2. Cancers with HER2 tend to be more aggressive and have poorer outcomes.
Objective:
To test 2 study drugs-a vaccine that targets HER2 (AdHER2DC) plus a drug that supercharges immune cells that kill tumor cells (N-803)-combined with 2 FDA-approved cancer treatment drugs in people with EC.
Eligibility:
Adults aged 18 and older with HER2-positive EC that returned or got worse after treatment.
Design:
AdHER2DC vaccine is made from each participant s own blood. Participants will undergo apheresis: Blood is removed from the body through a tube attached to a needle. The blood passes through a machine that separates out the target cells. The remaining blood is returned to the body through a second needle. A special catheter may be needed.
The first treatment cycle is 28 days; each cycle after that will be 21 days.
All participants will get the 2 approved drugs and the vaccine. One drug is a tablet taken by mouth once a day, every day. The other drug is given through a tube attached to a needle inserted into a vein.
The vaccine is injected under the skin. Participants will receive the vaccine on day 1 of cycles 1, 2, and 3. Additional doses up to 3 doses will be give if possible.
Some participants will receive N-803. This drug is injected under the skin of the abdomen on day 1 of each cycle.
Treatment may last up to 1 year. Follow-up visits will continue up to 2 more years.

INCLUSION CRITERIA: - Histologically confirmed endometrial cancer. - Radiographically confirmed metastatic or locally advanced disease. - Evaluable (measurable or non-measurable) disease, per RECIST 1.1. - HER2 IHC 1+, 2+ or 3+ tumor confirmed by PATHWAY HER2 (4B5) test. NOTE: The HER2 status in participants who had prior anti-HER2 therapy should be confirmed in the tumor tissue obtained after completing the anti-HER2 therapy. - Participants must have received and progressed after at least one (1) line of systemic therapy for endometrial cancer. - Age >=18 years. - ECOG performance status <=2. - Participants must have available tumor tissue or be willing to undergo a mandatory research biopsy. NOTE: Samples must be collected after HER2 directed therapy if the participant had anti-HER2 therapy. - Participants must have adequate organ and marrow function as defined below: -- Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) > 1,000/microliter -- Platelets > 100,000/microliter -- Hemoglobin (Hgb) > 9 g/dL (any number of transfusions within 60 days before apheresis is allowed) -- Total bilirubin <=1.5 X upper limit of normal (ULN). NOTE: In participants with Gilbert s Syndrome or known liver metastasis, total bilirubin <=3.0 X ULN is allowed -- Aspartate aminotransferase (AST) / Alanine aminotransferase (ALT) <=3.0 X ULN.

Hepatitis C virus (HCV)-infected participants can be enrolled if HCV RNA level is undetectable. - Participants with previously treated non-active brain metastases or central nervous system metastases more than 28 days from definitive radiotherapy or surgery are eligible. - Women of child-bearing potential (WOCBP) must agree to use highly effective contraception (hormonal, intrauterine device (IUD), tube ligation, a partner has had the previous vasectomy, abstinence) at the time of study entry, for the duration of study treatment, and up to 6 months after the last dose of the study drug(s). - Breastfeeding participants must be willing to discontinue breastfeeding from study treatment initiation through 6 months after the last dose of the study drug(s). - Participants must be able to understand and be willing to sign a written informed consent document. EXCLUSION CRITERIA - Prior administration of any standard of care or investigational checkpoint inhibitors (e.g., anti-CTLA, anti-PD-1, anti-PD-L1, anti-TIGIT, anti-TIM3, or anti-LAG3 antibodies or small molecules). - History of severe immediate hypersensitivity reaction to compounds similar to study drugs or their components (e.g., monoclonal antibody preparations). - Surgery to abdomen/pelvis/chest within 3 months prior to apheresis. - Other malignancies diagnosed within 24 months prior to apheresis.
