Details and patient eligibility

About

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.

A diabetic patient may be included in the study. In that case:

  • If the patient is treated with metformin: Keep metformin at the usual dosage. There will be no prescription or dispensation in the study.

  • If the patient is being treated with another medicine (ex Stagid): Take the advice of a diabetologist or the referring physician for the patient's diabetes for the continuation of the same treatment and the addition of metformin to 500 mg/day.

Description:
Phase 1: Dose escalation scheme: a continual reassessment method (CRM) will be used to guide inclusion of patients in drug dose levels pre-specified based on observations of dose-limiting toxicity. Phase 2 (expansion of cohort): once RP2D will be determined, additional patients will be enrolled, in order to obtain preliminary data about efficacy in a 2 stage Simon's design.
Treatment:
Drug: metronomic cyclophosphamide
Drug: Olaparib
Drug: metformin
