March 3, 2026 updated by: University of Colorado, Denver

A Phase II, Randomized, Double-Blind Study of the Use of Rucaparib vs. Placebo Maintenance Therapy in Metastatic and Recurrent Endometrial Cancer

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Detailed Description

This is a phase II clinical trial, that administers a maintenance treatment after first line chemotherapy is complete. It is designed to have a 1:1 randomization technique. Half the participants who enter the study will receive the active ingredient, Rucaparib, while the other half will receive a placebo. Treatment will be until progression with follow up until death.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Participant Group / Arm

A group or subgroup of participants in a clinical trial that receives a specific intervention/treatment, or no intervention, according to the trial's protocol.
Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.
Active Comparator: Active Ingredient
1:1 Randomization. Participants in this arm receive the active ingredient medication.
Drug: Rucaparib
Participants allocated to the active ingredient arm will receive Rucaparib twice daily, 600mg, to be take by mouth. Patients will take the medication continuously over a 28 day cycle, until disease progression or other indication of discontinuation. Medication should be taken around the same time every day, with 8 or more ounces of water.
Placebo Comparator: Placebo
1:1 Randomization. Participants in this arm receive the placebo medication. (Placebos do not contain active ingredients).
Drug: Placebo Oral Tablet
Participants allocated to the placebo arm will receive a placebo tablet (that looks identical to the active ingredient tablet) twice daily, 600mg, to be take by mouth. Patients will take the medication continuously over a 28 day cycle, until disease progression or other indication of discontinuation. Tablet should be taken around the same time every day, with 8 or more ounces of water.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.

Time Frame
Overall Survival (OS)
Time Frame: Up to 48 months.
