• Have measurable disease.

• Have at least one target lesion to be used to assess response as defined by RECIST v1.1.

• After undergoing surgery may be optimally or sub optimally debulked, with measurable recurrent disease of any previous substage.

• Diagnosis histologically confirmed by a gynecologic pathologist as containing >10% uterine papillary serous adenocarcinoma in the specimen.

• Have an ECOG performance status of 0 or 1.

• Have signed an approved consent.

• Have recovered from effects of recent surgery, radiotherapy or chemotherapy. Should be free of significant infection.

• Patients with recurrent disease may have received multiple prior chemotherapies for treatment of their uterine cancer.

• May have received prior trastuzumab therapy alone or in combination with chemotherapy with 2 week washout period required between trastuzumab treatment and first dose of Afatanib.

• Patients of childbearing potential must have a negative serum pregnancy test within 7 days prior to the study entry and be practicing an effective form of contraception.

• Must be 18 years of age.

Exclusion Criteria:

• Patients with a history of other invasive malignancies, with the exception of non-melanoma skin cancers are excluded if there is any evidence of other malignancy being present within the last five years. Patients are also excluded if their previous cancer treatment contraindicates this protocol.

• Patients who have a significant history of cardiac disease, uncontrolled hypertension, unstable angina, uncontrolled congestive heart failure, or uncontrolled arrhythmias within 6 months of registration. Patients with any unstable medical issue, active treatment for symptomatic pulmonary embolism, CVA, renal or hepatic insufficiency, active infection/sepsis requiring IV antibiotics, known brain/leptomengial involvement of the disease, active neurological disease, dementia.

• Patients who have received prior therapy with any irreversible human epidermal growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitor.

• Patients who have an uncontrolled seizure disorder or active neurological disease. Patients known to be seropositive for HIV and active hepatitis, even if liver function studies are in the eligible range. Known hemorrhagic diathesis or active bleeding disorder.
