Scientists hunt for biomarkers to personalize endometrial cancer immunotherapy
NCT ID NCT07374809
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study will analyze tumor samples from 50 women with advanced or recurrent endometrial cancer to find biological markers that predict whether immunotherapy will work. Researchers will examine the tumor's DNA, epigenetics, and surrounding environment. The goal is to better understand why some patients respond to treatment and others do not, paving the way for more personalized care.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: * Female patients ≥ 18 years old. * Histologically confirmed epithelial endometrial carcinoma (endometrioid, serous, clear cell, mixed, or carcinosarcoma). * Advanced (stage III-IV) or recurrent disease, eligible for surgery or biopsy as part of the therapeutic plan. * Availability of fresh-frozen or OCT-embedded tumor tissue obtained at surgery/biopsy and stored in the IEO Biobank. * Mismatch-repair-deficient (dMMR) or -proficient (pMMR) molecular subtype (when available). * Written informed consent for participation and use of biological material for translational research purposes. Exclusion Criteria: * Mesenchymal tumors or epithelial tumors of non-endometrial origin (e.g., ovarian, cervical). * Prior systemic treatment with immune checkpoint inhibitors for other malignancies. * Insufficient or poor-quality tumor tissue available for molecular analyses. * Active or uncontrolled infection with HIV, HBV, or HCV. * Any condition that, in the investigator's judgment, would compromise patient safety or study integrity.
