A Phase II, Single-Arm Study of RAD001 (Everolimus), Letrozole, and Metformin in Patients With Advanced or Recurrent Endometrial Carcinoma
United States62 participantsStarted 2013-10-07
Plain-language summary
The goal of this clinical research study is to learn if the combination of everolimus, letrozole, and metformin can help to control recurrent or progressive endometrial cancer. The safety of this drug combination will also be studied.
Everolimus is designed to block a protein inside cancer cells that is involved in cancer growth.
Letrozole is designed to block a protein from making estrogen. This may interfere with the growth of cancer cells.
Metformin is commonly used to control blood sugar levels in patients with diabetes. It is designed to lower insulin levels, which may slow or stop the growth of endometrial cancer cells.

Inclusion criteria
✓. Patients must have histologically-confirmed advanced or recurrent endometrial carcinoma (endometrioid and mixed tumors, any grade) that is refractory to curative therapy or established treatments
✓. Patients must have had no more than two prior chemotherapeutic regimens for recurrent management of endometrial carcinoma. Chemotherapy administered in conjunction with primary radiation as a radio-sensitizer is not counted as a prior treatment for recurrent or advanced disease
✓. Prior radiation therapy of any kind is allowed
✓. All patients must have measurable disease per RECIST 1.1 defined as at least one target lesion that can be accurately measured in at least one dimension (\>/=10mm longest dimension to be recorded; Lymph nodes must be \>/=15 mm per short axis). Each lesion must be \> 20 mm when measured by palpation or conventional imaging techniques (CT or MRI - based on primary physician preference) or \>10 mm with spiral CT scan. Measurable lesions must be at least 2 times the slice thickness in millimeters. Tumors within a previously irradiated field will be designated as non-target lesions unless progression is documented. Ascites and pleural effusions are not considered measurable disease. If the measurable disease is confined to a solitary lesion, its neoplastic nature should be confirmed by cytology/histology
✓. Patients must not be of child-bearing potential. Patients are considered not of child-bearing potential if they are surgically sterile (they have undergone a total hysterectomy, bilateral tubal ligation, or bilateral oophorectomy) or they are postmenopausal for greater than 12 months. Patients in whom ovaries are present and were not previously menopausal at the time of hysterectomy, should have a serum estradiol \<10 pm/mL to confirm ovarian senescence.
✓. Patients must be off all other anti-tumor therapies (including immunologic or hormonal agents) for at least four weeks prior to study registration.
✓. Age \>/= 18 years
✓. GOG performance status \</= 2
Exclusion criteria
✕. Patients who have uterine sarcomas, carcinosarcomas, any serous histology or pure clear cell carcinomas
✕. Patients currently receiving anticancer therapies or who have received anticancer therapies within 4 weeks of the start of study drug (including chemotherapy, radiation therapy, antibody based therapy, etc.)
✕. Patients, who have had a major surgery or significant traumatic injury within 4 weeks of start of study drug, patients who have not recovered from the side effects of any major surgery (defined as requiring general anesthesia) or patients that may require major surgery during the course of the study
✕. Prior treatment with any investigational drug within the preceding 4 weeks
✕. Patients receiving chronic, systemic treatment with corticosteroids or another immunosuppressive agent. Topical or inhaled corticosteroids are allowed
✕. Patients should not receive immunization with attenuated live vaccines within one week of study entry or during study period. Close contact with those who have received attenuated live vaccines should be avoided during treatment with everolimus. Examples of live vaccines include intranasal influenza, measles, mumps, rubella, oral polio, BCG, yellow fever, varicella and TY21a typhoid vaccines.
✕. Uncontrolled brain or leptomeningeal metastases, including patients who continue to require glucocorticoids for brain or leptomeningeal metastases
✕. Other malignancies within the past 3 years except for basal or squamous cell carcinomas of the skin.
