Active clinical trials for "Endometrial Neoplasms"

RATIONALE: Estrogen can stimulate the growth of endometrial cancer cells. Hormone therapy using arzoxifene hydrochloride may fight the endometrial cancer by blocking the use of estrogen by the tumor cells PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well arzoxifene hydrochloride works in treating women with recurrent, advanced, or metastatic endometrial cancer.

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. PURPOSE: Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of flavopiridol in treating patients who have recurrent or persistent endometrial cancer.

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Combining more than one drug may kill more tumor cells. PURPOSE: Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of combining doxorubicin, paclitaxel, and carboplatin in treating patients who have primary stage III, stage IV, or recurrent endometrial cancer.

This is a Phase 1, open-label, dose-escalation and dose-expansion study to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetic (PK), pharmacodynamic (PD) and clinical activity of etrumadenant (AB928) in combination with zimberelimab (AB122) (an anti-PD-1 antibody) in participants with advanced malignancies.

Endometrial tissue is a hormonal-dependent tissue in both pre- and postmenopausal period. The endometrial cells are expressing receptors for all sex hormones, mainly for estrogen, progesterone and androgens. The proper response of the endometrial cells on hormones is crucial for a well-balanced fluctuation of endometrial tissue. If, for any reason, these responses are altered, this may lead to benign or malignant lesions. The androgens, through their receptors, decrease the proliferation of the endometrial cells. After menopause, the number of androgens receptors (ARs) increases in proportion to estrogen receptors and this may lead to endometrial atrophy. If the functionality of ARs is decreased, the effect of estrogen increases and this may possibly lead to endometrial hyperplasia or to endometrial cancer. The AR gene is located on the X chromosome and consists of 8 exons. Genetic research has shown that on exon 1, there is an area of trinucleotide Cytosine- Adenosine- Guanin (CAG) repeats which controls the functionality of the receptor. The more CAG repeats, the less responsive the receptor. The goal of this research is to study the AR gene polymorphism and particularly the number of CAG repeats on exon 1, in patients with known endometrial pathology (benign and malignant). The results will be compared with a random sample of the general population without endometrial pathology.

The purpose of the trial is to determine the maximum tolerated dose and to establish the safety profile of HuMax-AXL-ADC in a mixed population of patients with specified solid tumors

This study will evaluate the role of addition of an anti-angiogenic agent (Nintedanib/placebo) to conventional combination chemotherapy as concomitant and maintenance treatment in primary advanced or with first relapse of endometrial cancer.

In this study, the researchers want to learn more about Vigil and durvalumab in advanced women's cancers: 1) how much of Vigil in combination with durvalumab (MEDI4736) can be given with an acceptable level of side effects, 2) the effects of Vigil and durvalumab in combination (good and bad), 3) if Vigil will cause changes in cancer cells that may help durvalumab attack the cancer, and 4) whether or not Vigil and durvalumab will slow your cancer or stop your cancer from getting worse. Combining Vigil with durvalumab will allow the former to induce (or increase) the infiltration of activated T cells into tumors, and in addition, to enhance PD-L1 (programmed cell death ligand 1) expression. Consequently, the response rate of historically low or un-responsive cancer will be increased with the combination of Vigil and anti PD-L1.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety of treatment with carboplatin and Abraxane in this patient population and determine the nature and degree of toxicities following treatment. The single stage open label Phase II feasibility study is designed to estimate the proportion of patients who can tolerate the proposed regimen for 6 cycles with no more than two dose level reductions.

Endometrial cancer ranks 11th in terms of incidence (7275 / year) and mortality (2025 deaths/ year). The 5-year overall survivals of patients at diagnosis with locally advanced and metastatic carcinomas are about 50% and 15% respectively. Beyond first line treatment with platinum-based chemotherapy, there is lack of effective drug in this disease, which explains the poor prognosis of patients. The prognosis of metastatic endometrial cancer patients is poor, and few drugs have been shown to be effective beyond first chemotherapy line. Endometrial carcinomas are characterized by frequent alterations of PI3K-AKT-mTor; IGF1R and of DNA repair pathways. Phosphatase and tensin homologue (PTEN)-phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K)-mammalian target of rapamycin (mTor) and DNA repair pathways interact, and inhibition of PI3K-AKT-mTor signaling pathway may alter DNA damage repair. Metronomic cyclophosphamide regimen may increase the anti-proliferative effects of olaparib because it is an alkylating agent, and it exerts anti-angiogenic effects, with a favorable toxicity profile. Metformin may increase the anti-proliferative effects of olaparib because it downregulates IGF1R and PI3K-AKT-mTor pathways, with no additive toxicity.
