About this study

Official title: ENGOT-EN1/FANDANGO: A Randomized Phase II Trial of First-line Combination Chemotherapy With Nintedanib / Placebo for Patients With Advanced or Recurrent Endometrial Cancer

This study will evaluate the role of addition of an anti-angiogenic agent (Nintedanib/placebo) to conventional combination chemotherapy as concomitant and maintenance treatment in primary advanced or with first relapse of endometrial cancer.

Read the detailed description

This multicenter, prospective, double-blind, placebo-controlled, randomised phase 2 study is evaluating combination chemotherapy with nintedanib in patients with primary advanced stage (3C2 \& 4), or with first relapse of endometrial cancer.

Patients are stratified according to:

  1. Stage of disease (stage 3C2 vs. stage 4 vs. recurrent disease)
  2. Prior adjuvant chemotherapy (yes/no)
  3. Disease status (Measurable disease vs. non-measurable /RECIST 1.1)

Patients are randomized to one of the two treatment arms 1:1 randomization:

  • Arm A: Paclitaxel and Carboplatin (6 courses) and Nintedanib (until PD). (Experimental arm)
  • Arm B: Paclitaxel and Carboplatin (6 courses) and Placebo (until PD) (Control Arm)

Primary endpoint is PFS. 148 patients to be enrolled.

Being tested
Nintedanib or Placebo; Carboplatin, Paclitaxel
Medical subject headings
Endometrial Neoplasms

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Nintedanib or Placebo; Carboplatin, PaclitaxelDrug

    Arm A: Nintedanib: 200mg orally twice daily d 2-21 q 21 days x 6 courses; afterwards daily dosing, until PD Arm B: Placebo: orally twice daily d 2-21 q 21 days x 6 courses; afterwards daily dosing, until PD In both arms: 6 courses of standard carboplatin and paclitaxel: Carboplatin AUC 5 iv every 21 days; Paclitaxel 175mg/m2 iv every 21 days. Both drugs are continued for maximum six courses or until unacceptable toxicity

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. PFS: Difference in months of Median Progression-Free Survival in experimental arm versus comparator arm

    Superiority of Nintedanib arm vs. placebo arm by median PFS increase of 4 months (from 10 months to 14 months) HR: 1.4; power80%; one-sided alpha: 15%. Inclusion period 18 months. Median PFS matures after 14 months of end inclusion

    Measured: 36 months

Secondary outcomes (11)
  1. PFS in the sub-populations as described under stratification factors

    To be measured (in months) and reported

    Measured: 32 months

  2. PFS after consecutive treatment (PFS2). To be measured (in months) and reported

    PFS2 is defined along the same timelines as PFS but accounts for the time from randomization to progression or death by any cause on any subsequent line of anticancer therapy.

    Measured: 48 months

  3. Disease Specific Survival (DSS)

    To be measured (in months) and reported

    Measured: 48 months

  4. TSST (Time to Second Subsequent Therapy)

    To be measured (in months) and reported

    Measured: 48 months

  5. TFST (Time to First Subsequent Therapy)

    To be measured (in months) and reported

    Measured: 48 months

  6. Overall Survival (OS)

    To be measured (in months) and reported

    Measured: 48 months

  7. Response Rate (RR).

    To be measured (CRs \& PRs in %) and reported

    Measured: 32 months

  8. Disease Control Rate (DCR)

    Disease Control Rate (DCR = Complete Response, Partial Response or Stable Disease for at least 12 weeks). To be measured (CRs, PRs \& SDs in %) and reported

    Measured: 32 months

  9. Patient Related Outcomes (PROs)

    Patient questionnaire results to be presented as as narrative (1-10 scale)

    Measured: 48 months

  10. Number of patients with Grade 3 through Grade 5 Adverse Events that are related to study drug.

    NCI CTCAE Version 4.0

    Measured: 36 months

  11. Compliance in the two treatment arms

    Percentage of missed dosages during the treatment

    Measured: 32 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study of Endometrial Cancer, run by Nordic Society of Gynaecological Oncology - Clinical Trials Unit at 37 sites in 7 countries.

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 17 inclusion and 30 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 29 Jul 2025. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 37 sites in Germany, France, Belgium, Denmark, Sweden and 2 more countries. 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. 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 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

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?

PFS: Difference in months of Median Progression-Free Survival in experimental arm versus comparator arm (time frame: 36 months). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT02730416, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 29 Jul 2025.
