This is a Phase 2, multicenter, open-label, single-arm study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of sapanisertib and serabelisib (PIKTOR) with paclitaxel in participants with advanced or recurrent endometrial cancer.
Background: 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.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether a physical activity tracking program called FitEx would be useful to endometrial cancer survivors. Each interested endometrial cancer survivor will recruit 1 to 5 additional friends/family members to participate in the intervention with them, forming a team. Each team will be randomized to FitExEC (control group) that receives FitEx for endometrial cancer survivors, or FitExEC+yoga (experimental group) that receives FitEx for endometrial cancer survivors plus yoga cueing. FitExEC is based on FitEx, a program used to encourage adults to improve their fruit and vegetable intake while increasing their physical activity. FitEx works by having participants join a team with their friends and loved ones, so they can support one another in meeting their goals. In this study, teams of endometrial cancer survivors/support members will receive watches that track how much they walk. Each day, participants record how much exercise, how many fruits, and how many vegetables they've eaten that day for a total of 8 weeks. Participants will be encouraged to attend a virtual session 15 minutes per week that will focus on 1-mile worth of exercise points (all control) or 15 minutes of yoga (all experimental) followed by 15 minutes of support (endometrial cancer survivors only \[control and experimental survivors in different groups\]). Participation in the study lasts roughly 10 weeks, and participants will be followed for 6 months afterward. The investigators think that FitEx may help people with endometrial cancer improve their daily physical activity and slowly improve their health and quality of life. The investigators hypothesize this intervention is feasible and acceptable to Carilion Clinic endometrial cancer survivors.
It's propose this pilot phase 2 study to explore the combination therapy of futibatinib with pembrolizumab in patients with metastatic microsatellite stable (MSS) endometrial carcinoma to provide a well-tolerated regimen for durable responses.
This is a multicenter, open-label, nonrandomized, Phase 2 umbrella study of retifanlimab in participants who have advanced or metastatic endometrial cancer that has progressed on or after platinum-based chemotherapy. retifanlimab will be administered as monotherapy or in combination with other immunotherapy or targeted agents.
A study to assess the efficacy and safety of durvalumab in combination with platinum-based chemotherapy (paclitaxel + carboplatin) followed by maintenance durvalumab with or without olaparib for patients with newly diagnosed advanced or recurrent endometrial cancer.
Patients with inoperable endometrial cancer have limited treatment options. PD-L1 expression is common in endometrial cancers and RT induces tumor and systemic changes that induce the immune system. The purpose of this trial is to evaluate anti-PD-1/PD-L1 axis therapy in conjunction of standard of care RT for patients with inoperable endometrial cancer in order to establish the safety and efficacy of inducing an anti-tumor immune response.
The purpose of this study is to determine the effectiveness of the combination of abemaciclib and fulvestrant in treating this type of cancer and to determine the types and severity of side effects caused by treatment with abemaciclib and fulvestrant.
This pilot phase IIa trial studies how well exemestane works in treating patients with complex atypical hyperplasia of the endometrium/endometrial intraepithelial neoplasia or low grade endometrial cancer. Exemestane may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth.
This proposal will pilot a weight management program for patients with endometrial cancer, the cancer most associated with obesity. If successful, this pilot could be expanded to include obese women with other gynecologic cancers (ovarian and cervical) and could be expanded and adapted for use not only upon completion of treatment, but during chemotherapy or radiation. Furthermore, other obstetricians and gynecologists could use this strategy for obese women as a practical cancer prevention strategy for obesity-associated cancers.
Part of standard treatment for endometrial cancer is to remove one or more groups of lymph nodes (lymph node dissection). Lymph nodes are small, bean-shaped organs located within the body throughout the lymphatic system (the tissues and organs involved in immunity, which aids in the fight against infection and cancer). The purpose of this study is to compare the safety and ability of Lymphoseek and a Vital Blue Dye (tracing agent) to find lymph nodes that may carry cancer from the tumor through the lymphatic system. Lymphoseek will be injected into the tumor on the day before surgery to remove lymph nodes. Vital Blue Dye will be administered during surgery to trace the cancer as well. The surgeon will remove the lymph nodes as part of routine surgery and will keep track of which lymph nodes are identified by Lymphoseek and Vital Blue Dye. These nodes will be sent to another doctor to view them under a microscope and see if the nodes contain cancer cells. The hypothesis is that Lymphoseek can be used safely and will be at least as effective as blue dye in identifying the lymph nodes that may have cancer cells.
The main purpose of the study is to evaluate the detection rate and accuracy of fluorescence imaging in endometrial cancer staging by sentinel node assessment.
The goal of this research study is to learn if metformin can affect endometrial cancer cells in women who do not have diabetes. Objectives: Primary Objectives: 1. To determine the molecular effects of metformin and associated physiologic changes in insulin/glucose metabolism on the mTOR (mammalian target of rapamycin) signaling pathway in the endometrium of women with endometrial cancer Secondary Objectives: 1. To describe the effects of metformin on the histology and proliferation of the endometrium in women with endometrial cancer. 2. To assess the effect of body mass index on the response to treatment with metformin 3. To assess the effect of insulin resistance on the response to treatment with metformin 4. To determine effects of metformin on the serum, urine and DNA biomarkers of women with endometrial cancer.
There has not been any systemic therapy approved in the United States or in Europe for treating advanced or recurrent endometrial cancer (EC). This study will evaluate the safety and preliminary efficacy of XL147 in advanced or recurrent EC. Constitutively active phosphatidylinositol-3 kinase (PI3K)/phosphatase and tensin homolog on chromosome 10 (PTEN) pathway signaling is common in EC and involved in the development and/or progression of the disease. PTEN deficiency and/or activating mutations/amplification in the PIK3CA gene that encodes the p110α catalytic subunit of PI3K have been frequently detected in EC patients. XL147 is a potent and highly selective inhibitor of the Class I PI3K family of lipid kinases. In addition, in vivo preclinical data have demonstrated that XL147 targets both proximal and distal signaling in the PI3K/PTEN pathway. Therefore, XL147 may have utility in the treatment of subjects with advanced or recurrent EC.
The purpose of this study is to learn if a surgical technique called intraoperative lymphatic mapping can accurately identify the lymph node that is at greatest risk if endometrial or cervical cancer spreads to the lymph nodes. Early cervical cancer is usually treated by removing the cervix, tissue around the cervix, and the upper vagina. If needed, the uterus is also removed. The treatment also includes removing lymph nodes from the pelvis. Endometrial cancer is usually treated by removing the cervix, uterus, fallopian tubes and ovaries. The treatment also includes removing lymph nodes from the pelvis.
The purpose of this study is to see how people's diets, other aspects of their lifestyles, and their individual genetic makeup affect their chances of getting endometrial cancer (cancer of the uterus). This survey will enroll several hundred women who have or have had endometrial cancer and several hundred who do not. We will compare these two groups of women to see what factors may lead to endometrial cancer.
Primary Objectives: * To evaluate the results of Paclitaxel and pelvic radiation in pelvic confined papillary serous carcinoma of the endometrium for both local control and overall survival. * To evaluate the toxicity of Paclitaxel and pelvic radiation. * To collect and evaluate patients' quality of life/symptom assessment data.
Background: * Endometrial cancer (cancer of the lining of the uterus) is the most common gynecologic cancer in the United States. * Currently, there are no markers (components of blood and tissue that determine who might be at risk for developing cancer) for endometrial cancer. Objectives: -To see if women who are undergoing hysterectomy are willing to provide blood and tissue samples to help doctors identify markers that would indicate increased risk for developing endometrial cancer. Eligibility: -Women between 35 and 54 years of age who will undergo hysterectomy for a non-cancerous condition, such as uterine fibroids, uterine prolapse, abnormal uterine bleeding, and others at Magee-Women's Hospital in Pittsburgh, Penn. Design: * Patients' medical records are reviewed and patients complete a questionnaire including information on race and ethnic background, education, marital status, family history, height, weight, pregnancy history, smoking history, medication history, history about menstrual periods and menopausal symptoms. * Patients provide blood and urine samples before surgery. * A sample of fat tissue is removed during surgery in patients undergoing abdominal surgery. * Tissue samples from the removed uterus (and ovaries if the ovaries are also removed) are collected and analyzed for markers for endometrial cancer.
The intent of this protocol is to screen a new agent for activity in patients with advanced or recurrent endometrial carcinoma. This phase II trial is studying how well pemetrexed disodium works in treating patients with advanced or recurrent endometrial carcinoma.
To determine the concentration of 9-nitrocamptothecin (9NC) in the alveolar fluid over time. 1.2. To determine the arterial concentration of 9NC administered by inhalation in comparison to venous and urine concentrations. 1.3. To determine the tumor concentration of 9NC administered by inhalation
DESTINY-Endometrial01 will investigate the efficacy of first-line T-DXd + rilvegostomig (Arm A) and/or T-DXd+ pembrolizumab (Arm B) when compared to chemotherapy (carboplatin + paclitaxel) + pembrolizumab (Arm C), by assessment of progression free survival (PFS), as assessed by BICR, in participants with HER2-expressing (IHC 3+/2+), pMMR, primary advanced (Stage III/IV) or recurrent EC.
Researchers are looking for new ways to treat people with proficient mismatch repair (pMMR) endometrial cancer (EC) that is advanced or recurrent. * EC is a type of cancer that starts in the tissues inside the uterus (womb) * pMMR indicates that certain normal proteins are present in the cancer cells * Advanced means the cancer has spread locally or to other parts of the body (metastatic) and cannot be removed with surgery * Recurrent means the cancer came back after surgery Sacituzumab tirumotecan (also known as sac-TMT) and pembrolizumab are the study medicines. Sac-TMT is an antibody drug conjugate (ADC). An ADC attaches to specific targets on cancer cells and delivers treatment to destroy those cells. The goal of this study is to learn if people who receive sac-TMT with pembrolizumab live longer and without the cancer getting worse compared to people who receive pembrolizumab alone.
This study is being done to understand how oncologists can engage a multidisciplinary team to help endometrial cancer survivors with obesity to engage in a weight management program and potentially start a weight loss medication. Obesity often impacts the future health and longevity of early-stage endometrial cancer survivors more than their cancer diagnosis. Patients will be referred to the KUMC OB/Gyn weight management clinic to discuss weight management options. * If patients decide to use medications for weight loss, then the study will collect data from their chart that is recorded as part of routine monitoring for patients on weight loss medications. * If patients decide not to use any medications, the study will monitor physical exam and lab data collected as part of their routine medical care. The study will also try to understand reasons why patients did or did not start using a weight loss medication.
This clinical trial compares the effect of an automated personalized physical activity intervention supported by wearable technology to standard of care on physical activity levels and quality of life in patients with stage II- IV ovarian, primary peritoneal, fallopian tube cancer or endometrial cancer that is newly diagnosed. Physical activity is a modifiable risk factor for the prevention and treatment of many diseases. In fact, increased levels of physical activity have been shown to decrease the risk of some cancers as well as increase overall survival in some cancers. Currently, standard of care guidelines include participation in at least 150 minutes of moderate exercise weekly. An automated personalized physical activity intervention may increase physical activity, enhance quality of life, and improve physical function and daily living activities compared to standard recommendations in patients with stage II-IV ovarian, primary peritoneal, fallopian tube or newly diagnosed endometrial cancer. This trial also evaluates the impact of physical activity on the gut microbiome and immune function. The microbiome is the collection of tiny organisms, like bacteria, that live in and on the body, especially places like the gut. These microorganisms play an important role in health. Information gathered from this study may help understand how the gut microbiome and physical activity influences the immune system in patients with stage II-IV ovarian, primary peritoneal, fallopian tube or newly diagnosed endometrial cancer.
The researchers are doing this study is to find out whether tirzepatide and semaglutide are practical (feasible) for weight management and blood sugar control for endometrial cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy. The researchers will also look at participants' experience with the study drug, the safety of taking the study drug while receiving chemotherapy, and changes in weight, body fat composition, and blood pressure of participants.
This study evaluates whether isolated tumor cells in the first lymph nodes near the tumor can tell researchers something important about the future of patients with a certain type of endometrial (uterine) cancer.
This study aims to estimate the recurrence-free survival rates in women with endometrial cancer treated with selective versus sentinel node surgical staging. This study will gather information to help determine the best way to evaluate lymph nodes during surgery for endometrial cancer.
This research project addresses the urgent need for novel therapeutic strategies to overcome chemotherapy resistance and mitigate chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN) in patients with recurrent ovarian and endometrial cancers, which are among the most lethal gynecologic malignancies worldwide. The study focuses on BMX-001, a redox-active manganese metalloporphyrin compound that uniquely combines the ability to enhance anti-tumor efficacy and protect normal tissues from the toxic effects of chemotherapy, specifically paclitaxel (PTX). PTX, despite being a cornerstone of treatment, is associated with significant dose-limiting neurotoxicity, which severely impacts patients quality of life and limits the use of subsequent therapies. BMX-001 has demonstrated potential in preclinical models to not only augment the anti-tumor effects of PTX but also reduce PTX-induced neuropathy. The research will be conducted through a single-site, Phase 1/2 clinical trial led by the Duke Cancer Institute. The trial aims to determine the recommended Phase 2 dose of BMX-001 when combined with weekly PTX and to evaluate the clinical activity of this combination therapy. Specifically, the trial will assess the safety, tolerability, and potential to double the dose of BMX-001, which is hypothesized to further enhance the efficacy of PTX without increasing toxicity. The study\'s specific aims include establishing the recommended dose for expansion, assessing objective response rates (ORR), and quantifying the reduction in PTX-induced neurotoxicity using validated questionnaires and monofilament testing. The project also incorporates the analysis of circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) as a biomarker for treatment response, adding a layer of precision to the evaluation of the therapy response impact on tumor burden. The outcomes of this research have the potential to significantly improve treatment protocols for patients with chemo-resistant gynecologic cancers by offering a therapy that enhances tumor control while protecting against debilitating side effects. Successful completion of this trial will lay the groundwork for larger, definitive trials and may extend the benefits of BMX-001 to other solid tumors, ultimately contributing to better survival outcomes and quality of life for a broader patient population.
The purpose of this study is to promote positive lifestyle change among endometrial cancer survivors by using a group-based intervention. Endometrial cancer survivors are at an increased risk of other health conditions like heart disease, diabetes, and other cancers. The study team at the University of Virginia wants to explore new ways to lower these risks. This study will be evaluating the Anticancer Lifestyle program, which takes a more holistic approach and uses web-based learning modules along with weekly group sessions to discuss each topic of the web-based learning modules.
STRIVE Cardio is a 12-week exercise intervention study with the goal to improve functional fitness and cardiovascular health for women who have completed treatment for non-metastatic endometrial cancer within the last five years and are currently in remission. Measures will include a functional fitness test, carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity, brachial artery flow mediated dilation, and a blood draw. Participants will be provided resistance bands, a dumbbell, and a Fitbit to keep. Participants will be compensated $50 for each of their two in-person visits.
