Brief summary

This study seeks to determine the effectiveness of Rucaparib as maintenance therapy for metastatic and recurrent endometrial cancer, after 1-2 prior lines of therapy.

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.

Interventions

DRUGRucaparib

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.

DRUGPlacebo 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.
