MITO END-4 is a prospective, single arm, multicentric phase II trial aiming to assess whether Inavolisib is effective in the treatment of advanced endometrial carcinoma with pathogenic PIK3CA mutation. Approximately 48 patients with PIK3CA mutation will be overall enrolled in the study.

The PTEN-PI3K-AKT pathway is frequently altered in gynecological tumors, notably in endometrial cancer (EC). Inavolisib is a highly potent and selective PI3K inhibitor that also facilitates the degradation of mutated PI3Kα isoform. The aim of the current trial is to test if inavolisib in PIK3CA mutated endometrial cancer is active enough to merit further future investigations. Patients whose tumors harbor a pathogenic PIK3CA mutation will receive single agent therapy with Inavolisib. Inavolisib will be given orally at a dosage of 9 mg once daily for each day of a 28-day cycle until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Approximately 48 patients with PIK3CA mutation will be overall enrolled in the study. Primary Endpoint is the Objective response rate (ORR) defined as a complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) by the Investigator using RECIST 1.1 criteria on the whole treatment period. Secondary objectives are: -description of 6 months progression-free survival (PFS), Description of disease-control rate (DCR), Description of duration of response (DoR), Description of response rate in patients with different PIK3CA mutations, Description of response rate in patients with PIK3CA mutations and PTEN intact, Description of 1 year overall survival (OS), Description of response rate to inavolisib with respect to the PTEN molecular status including LOF in order to assess its potential predictive role of response, to evaluate the safety of inavolisib in the overall study population. Explorative objectives: To evaluate the response to inavolisib in correlation with molecular characteristics of the tumour evaluated on the tissue samples and to follow the identified mutations in the blood during therapy.

• Data from the reports indicating the pertinent PIK3CA mutation as well as the status of PTEN gene, and relative variant of allelic frequency (VAF) for each altered gene must be available upon enrollment. Local test results reported from tumor tissue should be from the patient's locally advanced or metastatic disease state whenever possible. Specifically, the detection of PIK3CAm combined with knowledge of PTEN molecular status is mandatory for the screening.
• All patients are required to submit a paraffin embedded block from the primary surgery/biopsy (chemotherapy - naive patients) and a freshly collected pre-treatment blood samples. A quality control analysis of samples will be performed by the Sponsor, before patient's enrollment. Only patients with adequate tumor sample will be enrolled.
• Patients must have progressed after or during a platinum based-chemotherapy with or without immunotherapy in any setting. Specifically, patients receiving previous platinum-based chemotherapy in the neoadjuvant or adjuvant setting must have progressed within 6 months of last platinum therapy.
• Patients must have received no more than 4 previous systemic therapy for endometrial cancer. Specifically, endocrine therapies, maintenance with PARP inhibitor or selinexor are not counted as a systemic line of therapy.
• At least 1 measurable target lesion according to RECIST 1.1
• Patients must have a life expectancy ≥ 16 weeks.
• ECOG performance status of 0 to 1 within 28 days of enrollment.
• Documented markers such as mismatch repair (MMR) status, hormone receptors (estrogen and progesterone receptors) and p53 status according to molecular or immunohistochemical classification of EC.

• Patients must have normal organ and bone marrow function measured as defined below:

Haemoglobin ≥ 9.0 g/dL with no blood transfusion in the past 28 days Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) ≥ 1.5 x 109/L Aspartate aminotransferase (AST) (Serum Glutamic Oxaloacetic Transaminase (SGOT)) / Alanine aminotransferase (ALT) (Serum Glutamic Pyruvate Transaminase (SGPT)) ≤ 2.5 x institutional upper limit of normal unless liver metastases are present in which case they must be ≤ 5x ULN Total bilirubin < 1.5 x upper limit of normal (ULN) (< 3 x ULN if Gilbert's disease).

• Patients must have creatinine clearance (CrCL) estimated of ≥30 mL/min using the Cockcroft-Gault equation or based on a 24 hour urine test: Estimated creatinine clearance = (140-age [years]) x weight (kg) / a serum creatinine (mg/dL) x 72 (x F) (where F=0.85 for females).

The recommended starting dosage of inavolisib for patients with moderate renal impairment (CrCL 30 to <60 mL/min) is 6 mg orally once daily.

Specifically, patients with Type 2 diabetes are eligible to enroll provided they meet the above criteria for fasting blood glucose and HbA1C and are on a stable dose of no more than one oral antidiabetic agent for ≥2 weeks prior to initiation of study treatment. The administration of insulin should not be counted as a 2nd agent.
