Purpose
This randomized phase II/III trial studies how well paclitaxel, carboplatin, and metformin hydrochloride works and compares it to paclitaxel, carboplatin, and placebo in treating patients with endometrial cancer that is stage III, IV, or has come back. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as paclitaxel and carboplatin, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Metformin hydrochloride may help paclitaxel and carboplatin work better by making cancer cells more sensitive to the drugs. It is not yet known whether paclitaxel and carboplatin is more effective with or without metformin hydrochloride in treating endometrial cancer.

Primary Outcome Measures:
- Overall survival (Phase II and III) [ Time Frame: From date of study entry to time of death or the date of last contact, assessed up to 5 years ]
- Progression-free survival (Phase II) [ Time Frame: From date of study entry to time of progression or death, whichever occurs first, assessed up to 5 years ]
Secondary Outcome Measures:
- Duration of response by treatment [ Time Frame: From the date of response to disease progression, death, or date last seen assessed up to 5 years ]Duration will be characterized by treatment using Kaplan-Meier curves and quartile estimates.
- Incidence of adverse events as assessed by CTCAE version 4 within each arm [ Time Frame: Up to 5 years ]Toxicities will be assessed by organ or organ system. For each category of toxicity, each patient will be evaluated by the worst grade experienced during the course of therapy. Data will be summarized by frequency and severity according to the regimen administered. Comparisons between regimens will be examined through exact Chi-Square methods by breaking the severity of the worst toxicities experienced by each patient into severe versus not severe (or into groups of none to mild, moderate, and severe or worse).
- Level of obesity [ Time Frame: Up to 5 years ]Obesity will be quantitative assessed by BMI and will be assessed for its predictive and prognostic significance. The interaction between BMI and metformin treatment will be examined with an interaction term in a Cox proportional hazards model.
- Overall survival (Phase II) [ Time Frame: From date of study entry to time of death or the date of last contact, assessed up to 26 months , assessed up to 6 years ]
- PFS (Phase III) [ Time Frame: From date of study entry to time of progression or death, whichever occurs first, assessed up to 5 years ]
- Proportion of patients responding to therapy [ Time Frame: Up to 5 years ]Assessed using a 95% confidence interval.
Other Outcome Measures:
- Expression of MATE 2 [ Time Frame: Up to 5 years ]Expression will be examined by immunohistochemistry with intensity of staining and the percentage of cells staining positive. From these statistics, an H-score will be calculated. Expression will be further dichotomized as high expression and low expression at the median to maximize the power of the study.
- Incidence of PIK3 mutations/amplifications [ Time Frame: Up to 5 years ]PIK3CA mutations/amplifications and PIK3R1/PIK3R2 mutations will be examined for prognostic and predictive significance.
- Levels of key targets of the metformin/mTOR signaling pathway [ Time Frame: Up to 5 years ]Levels before and after treatment will be assessed for their predictive and prognostic significance.
- Metabolic factor levels [ Time Frame: Up to 5 years ]Hip-to-waist ratio, diabetes status, HgBA1C, fasting insulin glucose levels, and HOMA scores will be assessed for their predictive and prognostic significance. Variables will be analyzed as continuous covariates (or as appropriate with transformations such as the logarithm) with Cox models or logistic regression.

| Arms | Assigned Interventions |
|---|---|

Experimental: Arm I (paclitaxel, carboplatin, metformin hydrochloride)
Patients receive paclitaxel IV over 3 hours on day 1, carboplatin IV over 30 minutes on day 1, and metformin hydrochloride PO BID (approximately every 10-12 hours) on days 1-21 (QD in course 1). Treatment repeats every 21 days for 6 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients then receive maintenance therapy comprising metformin hydrochloride PO BID on days 1-21. Courses repeat every 21 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. In both arms, patients who achieve SD or PR and still have measurable disease at the completion of course 6 may continue to receive paclitaxel IV and carboplatin IV (with metformin hydrochloride or placebo) for an additional 4 courses at the discretion of the treating investigator. |

Active Comparator: Arm II (paclitaxel, carboplatin, placebo)
Patients receive paclitaxel IV and carboplatin IV as in Arm I. Patients also receive placebo PO BID (approximately every 10-12 hours) on days 1-21 (QD in course 1). Treatment repeats every 21 days for 6 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients then receive maintenance therapy comprising placebo PO BID on days 1-21. Courses repeat every 21 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. In both arms, patients who achieve SD or PR and still have measurable disease at the completion of course 6 may continue to receive paclitaxel IV and carboplatin IV (with metformin hydrochloride or placebo) for an additional 4 courses at the discretion of the treating investigator. |
