Optimizing hormonal therapy for advanced and recurrent endometrial cancer
Official title: PROMOTE Study: Prediction of Response Of HorMOnal Treatment in Advanced and Recurrent Endometrial Cancer
Run by Radboud University Medical Center · NCT03621904 · Data updated 2026-11-12
This study is trying to find better ways to use hormonal therapy for women with advanced or recurring endometrial cancer by looking at their tumor samples to see who might benefit most from this treatment.

Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates include women with advanced stage (FIGO stage III and IV) or recurrent endometrial cancer who are planned to receive hormonal therapy.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients who have undergone adjuvant hormonal therapy after complete resection or those with endometrial sarcoma may not benefit from this study.

What this trial studies
The PROMOTE study focuses on improving the use of hormonal therapy in patients with advanced and recurrent endometrial cancer by analyzing tumor tissue collected before treatment. It addresses the lack of consensus and quality data regarding patient selection and predictive biomarkers for hormonal treatment. This observational study aims to refine clinical criteria for selecting patients who may benefit from hormonal therapy, which is generally better tolerated than chemotherapy. Given the increasing incidence of endometrial cancer, especially among elderly women, this study seeks to provide more effective and less aggressive treatment options.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this study could lead to more personalized and effective hormonal treatment options for patients with advanced endometrial cancer.
How similar studies have gone: While there is limited consensus on hormonal therapy for this condition, similar studies have shown promise in optimizing treatment approaches based on tumor characteristics.
