ctDNA Testing to Inform Standard-of-Care Treatment Decisions in People With Endometrial Cancer
United States30 participantsStarted 2025-11-25
Plain-language summary
The researchers are doing this study to evaluate the use of circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) testing in making treatment decisions for advanced/recurrent endometrial cancer that has a change (mutation) in the mismatch repair deficient (MMR-D) gene or microsatellite instability high (MSI-H) gene. The researchers will see how doctors and their patients use the results of ctDNA testing after 1 year of standard chemotherapy and immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI) treatment to decide whether to continue maintenance ICI treatment past 1 year. The researchers will also look at the health outcomes of people in this study (for example, whether they are cancer free at the end of their participation in the study).

AI-rewrites the medical criteria so a patient or caregiver can understand them. Always confirm with the trial site.
Inclusion Criteria:
* Patients must have pathologically confirmed endometrial cancer
* Patients with advanced endometrial cancer
* Stage III with residual disease
* Stage IV
* Recurrent endometrial cancer after adjuvant therapy only
* Patients can have primary or planned interval surgery
* MMR-D on immunohistochemistry OR MSI-H using any commercially available test
* Patients with treated brain metastases are eligible if follow up brain imaging after CNS directed therapy shows no evidence of progression.
* Eligible for standard of care chemotherapy with immune checkpoint inhibitor per treating investigator with no clinical contraindications
* For the up to 10 patients who are allowed to enroll after C1D1 of standard of care treatments, they need to be on treatment with no clinical evidence of disease progression.
* Patients may have received prior radiation therapy for treatment of endometrial cancer. Prior radiation therapy may have included pelvic radiation therapy, extended field pelvic/para aortic radiation therapy, intravaginal brachytherapy, and/or palliative radiation therapy.
* Patients may have received prior hormonal therapy for treatment of endometrial cancer.
* Patients may not have received prior therapy with an anti-PD-1, anti-PD-L1 or anti-CTLA-4 therapeutic antibody or other similar agents.
* Except for the up to 10 patients who are allowed to enroll after C1D1 of standard of care treatments (chemotherapy and/or immune checkpoint inhibitors) per p…
Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?

Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
