About this study

Official title: Inavolisib for PIK3CA Mutated Advanced Endometrial Cancer: a Multicentric, Phase II, MITO END-4 Trial

MITO END-4 is a prospective, single arm, multicentric phase II trial aiming to assess whether Inavolisib is effective in the treatment of advanced endometrial carcinoma with pathogenic PIK3CA mutation. Approximately 48 patients with PIK3CA mutation will be overall enrolled in the study.

Read the detailed description

The PTEN-PI3K-AKT pathway is frequently altered in gynecological tumors, notably in endometrial cancer (EC). Inavolisib is a highly potent and selective PI3K inhibitor that also facilitates the degradation of mutated PI3Kα isoform. The aim of the current trial is to test if inavolisib in PIK3CA mutated endometrial cancer is active enough to merit further future investigations. Patients whose tumors harbor a pathogenic PIK3CA mutation will receive single agent therapy with Inavolisib. Inavolisib will be given orally at a dosage of 9 mg once daily for each day of a 28-day cycle until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Approximately 48 patients with PIK3CA mutation will be overall enrolled in the study. Primary Endpoint is the Objective response rate (ORR) defined as a complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) by the Investigator using RECIST 1.1 criteria on the whole treatment period. Secondary objectives are: -description of 6 months progression-free survival (PFS), Description of disease-control rate (DCR), Description of duration of response (DoR), Description of response rate in patients with different PIK3CA mutations, Description of response rate in patients with PIK3CA mutations and PTEN intact, Description of 1 year overall survival (OS), Description of response rate to inavolisib with respect to the PTEN molecular status including LOF in order to assess its potential predictive role of response, to evaluate the safety of inavolisib in the overall study population. Explorative objectives: To evaluate the response to inavolisib in correlation with molecular characteristics of the tumour evaluated on the tissue samples and to follow the identified mutations in the blood during therapy.

What is being measured

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

  1. Objective response rate (ORR)

    a complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) by the Investigator using Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST1.1) criteria.

    Measured: Every 8 (±1) weeks during the first 2 years, every 12 (±1) weeks therafter, from enrollment until disease progression (up to 48 months).

Secondary outcomes (8)

  1. progression-free survival (PFS) at 6 months

    6 months PFS probability will be calculated using Kaplan-Meyer method and reported with relative 95% CI. PFS is defined as the time elapsing between the registration of the patient and the progression of the disease or the death for any cause, whichever occurs first. Patients alive and without objective disease progression will be censored at the last tumor assessment

    Measured: from enrollment to 6 months

  2. disease-control rate (DCR)

    It will be reported as absolute frequency, percentage e relative 95% CI. DCR is defined as the proportion of subjects with CR, PR, or stable disease (SD) for at least 2 assessements.

    Measured: from enrollment until disease progression (up to 48 months)

  3. duration of response (DoR)

    The DoR analysis will include only responders. DoR will be described according to the Kaplan- Meier method. DoR is defined as the duration from the first documented response to the date of progression or death due to any cause. In case a subject does not have progression or death, DoR is censored at the date of last adequate tumor assessment (defined as an assessment of CR, PR, Non-CR/Non-PD, or SD)

    Measured: from enrollment until disease progression (up to 48 months)

  4. response rate in patients with different PIK3CA mutations

    defined as the proportion of patients with different PIK3CA mutations who experienced a complete or partial response (according to RECIST v 1.1) and reported with its 95% Confidence Interval (95% CI)

    Measured: Every 8 (±1) weeks during the first 2 years, every 12 (±1) weeks therafter, from enrollment until disease progression (up to 48 months).

  5. response rate in patients with PIK3CA mutations and PTEN intact

    defined as the proportion of patients with different PIK3CA mutations and PTEN intact who experienced a complete or partial response (according to RECIST v 1.1) and reported with its 95% Confidence Interval (95% CI)

    Measured: Every 8 (±1) weeks during the first 2 years, every 12 (±1) weeks therafter, from enrollment until disease progression (up to 48 months).

  6. overall survival (OS) at 1 year

    OS at 12 months will be described according to Kaplan- Meier method. OS will be defined as the time elapsing between the registration and the death for any cause. For OS patients lost to follow up or alive at the time of final analysis will be censored at the last date they were known to be alive.

    Measured: from enrollment to 12 months

  7. response rate to inavolisib with respect to the PTEN molecular status

    defined as the proportion of patients who experienced a complete or partial response (according to RECIST v 1.1) with respect to the PTEN molecular status and reported with its 95% Confidence Interval (95% CI)

    Measured: Every 8 (±1) weeks during the first 2 years, every 12 (±1) weeks therafter, from enrollment until disease progression (up to 48 months).

  8. Toxicity rate

    Safety of inavolisib in endometrial cancer patients according to Common CTCAE version 6.0 in the overall study population. For each type of toxicity the worst degree reported during treatment for each patient will be taken into consideration. Each type of toxicity will be described with absolute frequency and percentage. CTCAE (v6.0) will be used for reporting.

    Measured: from enrollment up to 48 months

A Phase 2 study testing Inavolisib in people with Endometrial Cancer, run by National Cancer Institute, Naples at 1 site in Italy.

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 26 inclusion and 29 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: opening soon, as of the sponsor's last update on 13 Apr 2026. 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 Italy. 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 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?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Maria Lucia Iacovino (+39 08117770692, marialucia.iacovino@istitutotumori.na.it), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Objective response rate (ORR) (time frame: Every 8 (±1) weeks during the first 2 years, every 12 (±1) weeks therafter, from enrollment until disease progression (up to 48 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 NCT07522697, 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 13 Apr 2026.
