Inavolisib for PIK3CA-mutated advanced endometrial cancer: a multicentric, phase II, MITO END-4 trial.

BACKGROUND: The phosphatase and tensin homolog-phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K)-protein kinase B (AKT) pathway is frequently altered in gynecological tumors, notably in endometrial. Despite this, evidence of clinical activity of PI3K inhibitors in endometrial cancer is poor and limited.
