Who may be able to join
- Patients must have histologically-confirmed advanced or recurrent endometrial cancer

About this study
Official title: A Phase I Study of the Weekly Oral RAD001 in Combination With Oral Topotecan in Patients With Advanced or Recurrent Endometrial Cancers
Endometrial cancer is the most common malignancy of the female reproductive tract. The majority of patients with endometrial cancer are diagnosed at an early stage and cured with surgery with or without adjuvant radiotherapy. However, a significant number of patients present with metastatic disease outside of the pelvis or develop recurrent disease after primary therapy.
mTOR inhibitors have been shown to be promising agents in reducing tumor growth in vitro and in vivo, in several solid cancers. Inhibitors of mTOR are primarily cytostatic in cancer cells; combination therapy with cytotoxic chemotherapeutics and other biologic agents may prove to be the most advantageous use of these drugs. mTOR inhibition with a rapamycin analogue demonstrated in vitro antiproliferative activity on endometrial AN3 CA and HEC-1-A tumor cells, and this inhibition of proliferation was found to be concentration dependent. Topotecan is an active agent in the treatment of advanced and recurrent endometrial cancers.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 1 study testing Topotecan and RAD001 in people with Endometrial Cancer, run by Yale University at 1 site in United States.
The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.
Who may be eligible to take part?
The sponsor lists 13 inclusion and 22 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.
Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?
The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 14 Jan 2014. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
What does this phase mean?
Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.
Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.
Are results available for this study?
The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
To determine the safety, dose-limiting toxicities,and maximum tolerated dose of daily oral RAD001 in combination with oral topotecan given on days 1-5 q 21 days in patients with advanced or recurrent endometrial cancers (time frame: Upon completion of study). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 14 Jan 2014.
