This is a Phase II study in patients with advanced and/refractory cervical cancer, endometrial carcinoma or uterine sarcoma.
Patients will be treated with an immunomodulatory cocktail (Vitamin D, aspirin, Cyclophosphamide and Lansoprazole), followed by pembrolizumab, combined with radiation. In addition, patients will take Curcumin, a food supplement.

- Objective response rate at week 26 [ Time Frame: week 26 ]Efficacy (objective response rate) at week 26 according to immune related response criteria (irRC)
- Incidence of treatment-emergent adverse events (Safety according to CTCAE4.0). [ Time Frame: up to 30 days post end of study treatment ]The number of unmanageable dose limiting toxicities will be reported for the run-in period and the main trial. This analysis will be performed for both the Full Analysis Set (FAS; evaluable patiënts) and extended FAS (eFAS; all patients included in the trial).
- Objective response rate [ Time Frame: week 26 ]Objective response rate at week 26 according to RECIST criteria
- Best OR [ Time Frame: week 26 ]Best overall response
- PFS [ Time Frame: up to 156 weeks ]At weeks 26, 52, 75, 104, 130 and 156 the proportion of progression-free patients will be estimated with a 95% confidence interval.
- Median PFS [ Time Frame: up to 156 weeks ]At weeks 26, 52, 75, 104, 130 and 156 the median PFS will be calculated.
- OS [ Time Frame: up to 156 weeks ]At weeks 26, 52, 75, 104, 130 and 156 the proportion of patients surviving will be estimated with a 95% confidence interval.
- Median OS [ Time Frame: up to 156 weeks ]At weeks 26, 52, 75, 104, 130 and 156 the median survival will be calculated.
- Quality of life assessment [ Time Frame: Quality of life questionnaires will be completed by the patients at baseline, after 3 months of therapy, after 6 months of treatment (end of treatment) and finally 3 months after therapy. ]Quality of life as measured by FACT-Cx questionnaire for the cervical cancer group and by the FACT-G questionnaire for the endometrial carcinoma and uterine sarcoma group. Descriptive statistics of the total score at each visit and the difference with the baseline visit for all other visits will be reported.
