| Eligibility |
Inclusion Criteria:
- Patient has signed the informed consent (ICF) prior to any screening procedures being
performed and is able to comply with protocol requirements.
- Patients must have histologically-confirmed endometrial carcinoma (endometrioid and
mixed endometrioid tumors, any grade).
- Patients must have advanced or recurrent disease that is refractory to curative
treatment based on imaging or clinical exam.
- Patient must consent to allow for a baseline tumor biopsy. Tumor material from
biopsies done before the screening period are acceptable if the biopsy was performed
within 3 months prior to the planned treatment start and no other systemic cancer
therapy was administered in the interim. If a biopsy is performed and the specimen is
considered non-diagnostic, does not have enough tissue, or the biopsy is deemed
infeasible to perform, this does not prevent the patient from proceeding with the
treatment
- Patients must have had no more than two prior chemotherapeutic regimens for recurrent
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.
- Prior treatment with letrozole is allowed if the patient meets the washout period of
10 days.
- All patients must have measurable disease per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid
Tumors (RECIST) version 1.1 defined as at least one "target lesion" that can be
accurately measured in at least one dimension (>= 10 mm 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 (computed tomography
[CT] or magnetic resonance imaging [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 pregnant, breastfeeding or 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 (if patient is
uncertain of amenorrhea for 12 months, a pregnancy test will be done to confirm
pregnancy status). 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 agents) for
at least four weeks prior to study registration. Patients on hormonal agents require a
washout for 10 days.
- Gynecologic Oncology Group (GOG) performance status of 0 to 1.
- Absolute neutrophil count >= 1.5 x 10^9/L (at screening).
- Platelets >= 100 x 10^9/L (at screening).
- Hemoglobin >= 9.0 g/dL (at screening).
- International normalized ratio (INR) =< 1.5 (at screening).
- Serum creatinine =< 1.5 mg/dL or creatinine clearance >=50 mL/min (at screening).
- Estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) >= 30mL/min/1.73m^2 (at screening)
according to the Modification of Diet in Renal Disease (MDRD) formula.
- In the absence of liver metastases, alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and aspartate
aminotransferase (AST) < 2.5 x upper limit of normal (ULN). If the patient has liver
metastases, ALT and AST < 5 x ULN (at screening).
- Total bilirubin < ULN; or total bilirubin =< 3.0 x ULN or direct bilirubin =< 1.5 x
ULN in patients with well-documented Gilbert's syndrome (at screening).
- Fasting serum cholesterol =< 240 mg/dL or =< 7.75 mmol/L and fasting triglycerides =<
2.5 x ULN (at screening).
- NOTE: In case one or both of these thresholds are exceeded, the patient can only
be included after initiation of appropriate lipid lowering medication.
- Patient with available standard 12-lead electrocardiography (ECG) with the following
parameters at screening: a. Corrected QT interval by Fridericia's formula (QTcF)
interval at screening < 450 msec (using Fridericia's correction). b. Resting heart
rate 50-100 beats per minute (bpm).
Exclusion Criteria:
- Patients who have uterine sarcomas, carcinosarcomas, serous tumors (any component) 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.)
- Patient has not recovered from all toxicities related to prior anticancer therapies to
National Cancer Institute (NCI)-Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE)
version 4.03 grade =< 1 (exception to this criterion: patients with grade 1
taxane-induced neuropathy, any grade of alopecia, amenorrhea or other toxicities not
considered a safety risk for the patient as per investigator's discretion are allowed
to enter the study).
- Patient has had major surgery within 14 days prior to starting study drug or has not
recovered from major side effects (tumor biopsy is not considered as major surgery).
- Participation in other studies involving investigational drug(s) within 30 days prior
to randomization or within 5 half-lives of the investigational product (whichever is
longer) or participation in any other type of medical research judged not to be
scientifically or medically compatible with this study.
- Patients receiving chronic, systemic treatment with corticosteroids or another
immunosuppressive agent. Topical, short duration (< 5 days) of systemic
corticosteroids, eye drops, local injections, 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,
bacillus Calmette-guerin (BCG), yellow fever, varicella and TY21a typhoid vaccines.
- Patients with central nervous system (CNS) involvement unless they meet all of the
following criteria:

contraindicate patient participation in the clinical study or compromise compliance
with the protocol (e.g. chronic pancreatitis, chronic active hepatitis, active
untreated or uncontrolled fungal, bacterial or viral infections, etc.).
- Patient has a known history of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection (testing
not mandatory).
