Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Adults (18+) with advanced or recurrent endometrial carcinoma or carcinosarcoma who have not previously received immune checkpoint inhibitors and can provide paired tumor samples.

Probably not a fit

Patients whose tumors lack the studied biomarkers or whose disease biology does not correlate with response may not benefit from these findings.

What this trial studies

This is a prospective exploratory, translational study focused on identifying biomarkers that predict or prognosticate response to immunotherapy in endometrial cancer. Researchers will analyze paired fresh-frozen and FFPE tumor samples to integrate molecular and epigenetic data. The goal is to improve patient selection by uncovering factors beyond MMR status that influence treatment outcomes. The study is conducted at the European Institute of Oncology in Milan, in collaboration with MaNGO, and does not involve a standard randomized intervention beyond collecting and analyzing samples. Participants must be adults with advanced or recurrent disease who have not previously received immune checkpoint inhibitors.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, the findings could help tailor immunotherapy to patients most likely to benefit and reduce unnecessary exposure for non-responders.

How similar studies have gone: Prior work has shown that limited biomarkers beyond MMR status may help predict response; this study extends translational efforts with broader molecular and epigenetic profiling.
