PROMOTE Study: Prediction of Response Of HorMOnal Treatment in Advanced and Recurrent Endometrial Cancer (PROMOTE)

January 17, 2023 updated by: Radboud University Medical Center
The PROMOTE study aims at optimising use of hormonal therapy in advanced stage and recurrent endometrial cancer analysing tumor tissue taken before start of hormonal therapy

Study Overview

Detailed Description

There is limited consensus about the position of hormonal treatment in advanced and metastatic endometrial carcinoma (EC). This is due to lack of good quality data on patient selection, and predictive biomarkers. Consequently, consideration of hormonal therapy is subjected to personal experience of the treating physician, rather than on refined clinical and up-to-date molecular criteria. Hormonal therapy has limited side-effects, and is better tolerated than systematic chemotherapy. Since EC patients are often elderly women with comorbidities, more effective and less aggressive treatment options are needed, underlining the urgency of an explorative study on this topic.

Endometrial cancer is the most common malignancy of the female genital tract in developed countries, with increasing incidence due to obesity and increased life expectancy. Most patients are diagnosed at an early stage, and have a favourable prognosis with surgery alone. Yet, 20% of the patients present with advanced or metastatic EC and have a poor outcome even with systemic treatment. Response rate of chemotherapy in advanced or metastatic EC is 30-60%, dependent of previous chemotherapy, with a progression free survival (PFS) of 3-14 months and 40% treatment related morbidity. In comparison, response to hormonal therapy is 20%-40%, with side effects in less than 5%. The overall PFS is 3 months, yet for those who respond the PFS can be up to several years.

To improve selective use of hormonal therapy in EC by evaluating applied hormonal therapy in advanced and metastatic EC and correlate response to molecular tumour analysis and translate this knowledge after validation into clinical practice
