Description
Project Narrative
Endometrial cancer is the most common gynecologic cancer with a subset of serous-like tumors exhibiting
evidence of homologous recombination (HR) DNA repair deficiency at the molecular level and phenotypically.
This project will build on preliminary data to determine which molecular subtypes of endometrial cancer have
the greatest sensitivity to inhibitors of poly (ADP ribose) polymerase (PARP) in patient-derived xenograft (PDX)
models and fresh patient tumors. In addition, a novel combination of rucaparib plus pegylated SN38
(PLX038A) will be studied to build rationale for this combination patients with recurrent endometrial cancer.
