Who may be able to join

  • Diagnosis of recurrent, FIGO grade 3 endometrioid, serous, or mixed high grade uterine or endometrial cancer or uterine carcinosarcoma. Patients must have experienced either prior progression on a platinum-based therapy or intolerance to platinum. Patients with dMMR or MSI-H tumors or targetable HER2 alterations are required to have received prior therapy with appropriate targeted agents.
  • 1-2 prior lines of anti-cancer therapy are allowed.
  • Subjects who have received prior treatment with trastuzumab, pembrolizumab, or dostarlimab can enroll in the study. Use of these agents together or as maintenance therapy is considered 1 regimen.
  • Recovery to baseline or ≤ Grade 1 severity (CTCAE v5) from adverse events (AEs), including immune-related adverse events (irAEs), related to any prior treatments, unless AE(s) are clinically nonsignificant and/or stable on supportive therapy (eg, physiological replacement of corticosteroid). Low-grade or controlled toxicities such as alopecia, ≤ Grade 2 hypomagnesemia, ≤ Grade 2 neuropathy are permitted)
  • Patients must have disease that cannot be managed by local therapy targeted at the tumor site (i.e. surgery, radiation therapy).
  • Measurable disease by RECIST 1.1.

In addition, females < 55 years-of-age must have a serum follicle stimulating hormone [FSH] level > 40 mIU/mL to confirm menopause). Note: Documentation may include review of medical records, medical examination, or medical history interview by study site staff. Should a patient become pregnant or suspect pregnancy while participating in this study, the treating physician must be informed immediately.

Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Dose Level 2 (Starting Dose): Zanzalintinib + PaclitaxelExperimentalPatients will initiate paclitaxel on a 21-day cycle with the addition of zanzalintinib given on the same schedule. Dosing of zanzalintinib is dictated by the dose escalation schema. After 3 cycles, patients will be assessed for disease response. Patients who have progression will not continue on treatment. Patients who have a partial or complete response or stable disease will continue on treatment for another 3 cycles of paclitaxel + zanzalintinib at the assigned dose. Patients will be assessed for response again at the end of 6 cycles and may continue on treatment if they have partial response or stable disease. Up to 9 cycles of treatment with paclitaxel + zanzalintinib may be given. At the end of the 9 cycles, patients with a SD or PR can continue on maintenance zanzalintinib until progression. Patients with complete response after cycle 6 or 9 will continue single agent zanzalintinib as maintenance therapy until progression.
Receives: Drug: Zanzalintinib; Drug: Paclitaxel

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Recommended Phase 2 dose (RP2D)

    Measured: Through completion of first cycle (each cycle is 21 days) of all enrolled patients (estimated to be 48 months and 3 weeks)

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Frequency and severity of treatment-emergent adverse events

    Measured: From start of treatment through 30 days after last dose of zanzalinitinib (estimated to be 7 months)

  2. Overall response rate (ORR)

    ORR is defined as the proportion of subjects who have a partial or complete response per RECIST criteria after 3 cycles of treatment with zanzalintinib plus paclitaxel.

    Measured: After 3 cycles of treatment (each cycle is 21 days - estimated to be 63 days)

  3. Progression-free survival (PFS)

    PFS is defined as the time from start of treatment to the first radiologically documented disease progression, or death, whichever comes first. The alive patients without radiologically documented disease progression are censored at the last follow-up.

    Measured: From start of treatment through completion of follow-up (estimated to be 5.5 years)

  4. Overall survival (OS)

    OS is defined as the time from start of treatment to death. The alive patients are censored at the last follow-up.

    Measured: From start of treatment through completion of follow-up (estimated to be 5.5 years)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Zanzalintinib and Paclitaxel in people with Uterine Cancer and Endometrial Cancer, run by Washington University School of Medicine at 4 sites in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 20 inclusion and 47 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: looking for participants now, as of the sponsor's last update on 13 Oct 2026. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 4 sites in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact David G Mutch, M.D. (314-362-3181, mutchd@wustl.edu), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Recommended Phase 2 dose (RP2D) (time frame: Through completion of first cycle (each cycle is 21 days) of all enrolled patients (estimated to be 48 months and 3 weeks)). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 13 Oct 2026.
