Inclusion Criteria:  Patient must have advanced (FIGO 2014 Stage III or IV), persistent, or recurrent endometrial carcinoma, which is not likely to be curable by surgery or radiotherapy. Histologic confirmation of recurrent disease is required. For cases of persistent disease, histologic confirmation of the primary disease with radiologic evidence of progression is required.  Patients must have endometrioid histology (all grades allowed) based on hysterectomy or biopsy specimen and have positive expression of ER and oncogenic PIK3CA mutation per criteria below.  a.

The list of oncogenic mutations acceptable for enrollment may be expanded as further information becomes available.  i. Oncogenic PIK3CA mutations identified on tests performed by the labs listed on https://ecog-acrin.org/nci-match-eay131-designated-labs will be considered confirmed for the purposes of this study ii. Oncogenic PIK3CA mutations identified by other tests will need to be confirmed by the study prior to enrollment b. Estrogen receptor (ER) status will be considered positive if ≥1% of tumor cells demonstrate positive nuclear staining by immunohistochemistry. Pathology report documenting ER status must be provided at enrollment.  Sites are required to report results of previous MMR and/or MSI status testing in Medidata Rave if available.  All patients must have measurable disease. Measurable disease is defined by RECIST version 1.1. Measurable disease is defined as at least one lesion that can be accurately measured in at least one dimension (longest diameter to be recorded). Each lesion must be greater than or equal to 10mm when measured by CT, MRI or caliper measurement by clinical exam; or greater than or equal to 20mm when measured by chest x-ray. Lymph nodes must be greater than or equal to 15mm in short axis when measured by CT or MRI.  Patients must have at least one "target lesion" to be used to assess response on this protocol as defined by RECIST 1.1. Tumors within a previously irradiated field will be designated as "non-target" lesions unless progression is documented or a biopsy is obtained to confirm persistence at least 90 days following completion of radiation therapy.  Prior chemotherapy in the adjuvant setting for Stage I, II, or III is permitted. Prior chemoradiotherapy for a pelvic recurrence is permitted.  Note: No prior chemotherapy in the setting of Stage IV disease is permitted unless the patient was without evidence of disease at the completion of chemotherapy and had a least six months of progression-free survival since the completion of chemotherapy.  Regardless of circumstances, no more than one prior chemotherapy regimen (including chemo-radiotherapy) is permitted.

Patients must be at least 18 years of age. Patients of childbearing potential must have a negative serum pregnancy test prior to the study entry and be practicing a highly effective form of contraception during the study treatment and for 8 weeks after stopping the treatment.  Highly effective contraception methods include combination of any of the following (oral, injected, or implanted hormonal contraceptives are prohibited:  Placement of an intrauterine device (IUD) or intrauterine system (IUS); Barrier methods of contraception: condom or occlusive cap (diaphragm or cervical/vault caps) with spermicidal foam/gel/film/cream/vaginal suppository; Total abstinence or; Male/female sterilization. Women are considered post-menopausal and not of child-bearing potential if they have had 12 months of natural (spontaneous) amenorrhea with an appropriate clinical profile (e.g. age appropriate, history of vasomotor symptoms) or have had surgical bilateral oophorectomy (with or without hysterectomy) or tubal ligation at least six weeks prior to randomization. In the case of oophorectomy alone, only when the reproductive status of the woman has been confirmed by follow up hormone level assessment is she considered not of child-bearing potential.
