Everolimus in Treating Patients With Relapsed or Metastatic Endometrial Cancer

Study Overview
=================
Brief Summary
-----------------
RATIONALE: Everolimus may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth and by blocking blood flow to the tumor. PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well everolimus works in treating patients with relapsed or metastatic endometrial cancer.

Detailed Description
-----------------
OBJECTIVES: Primary Estimate the rate of non-progression after 3 months of treatment with everolimus in patients with relapsed or metastatic endometrial cancer. Secondary Evaluate the partial and complete response rate after 3 months of treatment with everolimus in these patients. Evaluate the duration of response in these patients. Evaluate the clinical benefit after 6 months of treatment with everolimus in these patients. Evaluate the time to progression in these patients. Evaluate the progression-free and overall survival of these patients. Evaluate the nature, frequency, and severity of side effects of everolimus in these patients. OUTLINE: This is a multicenter study. Patients receive oral everolimus daily in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. After completion of study treatment, patients are followed monthly for 3 months and then every 3 months thereafter.
