1. Patient written informed consent obtained prior to any screening procedures 2. Patient is a female = 18 years at the day of consenting to the study 3. Patient has a histologically confirmed diagnosis of advanced endometrial carcinoma with available tissue specimen, either archival tissue (one block or a minimum of 20 unstained slides) or fresh formalin fixed tumor biopsy, for identification of PI3K pathway activation • all of the following histological types are eligible: endometrioid, papillary serous, clear cell, papillary endometrioid, mucinous, and adeno-squamous • confirmation that the specimen has been collected by the courier service and will be sent to the Novartis-designated lab (e.g., tracking number of courier service) must be communicated to the sponsor prior to enrolling the patient into the treatment phase of the trial 4. Patient has experienced objective progression of disease on or after first-line antineoplastic treatment for advanced or metastatic endometrial carcinoma as defined by the investigator. One prior line of anti-neoplastic treatment is defined as: • First-line treatment for advanced disease including at least one cytotoxic agent. • Any adjuvant treatment is generally not considered a prior line of treatment unless the recurrence occurred while on adjuvant chemotherapy or = 6 months since the last administration of adjuvant chemotherapy (with the exception of endocrine treatments), • Any prior hormonal treatment is not considered a line of treatment in any setting. 5. Patient has recovered (to grade = 1) from all clinically significant toxicities related to prior antineoplastic therapies with the exception of alopecia and bone marrow and organ functions (described separately) 6. Patient has at least one measurable lesion as per RECIST criteria. Lesions in previously irradiated areas should not be considered measurable, unless they have clearly progressed since the radiotherapy. 7. Patient has an Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status = 2 which is not declining during the last 2 weeks before the signature of the main study Informed Consent Form (S-ICF). 8. Patient has adequate bone marrow and organ function as defined by the following laboratory values: • Absolute Neutrophil Count (ANC) = 1.0 x 109/L • Platelets = 100 x 109/L • Hemoglobin = 9.0 g/dL • INR = 2 • Serum Creatinine = 1.5 x ULN • Serum Bilirubin = 1.5 x ULN (in patients with known Gilbert Syndrome, total bilirubin = 3 x ULN, with direct bilirubin = 1.5 x ULN) • AST and ALT = 3 x ULN or = 5.0 x ULN if liver metastases are present • Fasting plasma glucose (FPG) = 140 mg/dL (= 7.8 mmol/L) • HbA1c = 8 %

1. Patient has received previous treatment with PI3K and/or mTOR inhibitors. 2. Patient has received more than one line of antineoplastic treatment for advanced or metastatic disease (for definition of prior lines of therapy please refer to inclusion criterion 4). 3. Patient has active uncontrolled or symptomatic CNS metastases. 4. Note: Patients with controlled and asymptomatic CNS metastases may participate in this trial. As such, the patient must have completed any prior treatment for CNS metastases > 28 days (including radiotherapy and/or surgery) prior to enrollment in this study and should not be receiving chronic corticosteroid therapy for the CNS metastases. 5. Patient has a concurrent malignancy or has had a malignancy in the last 3 years prior to start of study treatment (with the exception of adequately treated basal or squamous cell carcinoma or cervical carcinoma in situ)6. Patient has received pelvic and/or para-aortic radiotherapy = 28 days or limited filed palliative radiotherapy = 14 days prior to enrollment in this study or has not recovered from side effects of such therapy at the time of initiation of screening procedures. 7. Patient has had major surgery within 28 days prior to starting study drug or has not recovered from major side effects of the surgery 8. Patient has active cardiac disease including any of the following: • Left Ventricular Ejection Fraction (LVEF) < 50% as determined by Multiple Gated acquisition (MUGA) scan or echocardiogram (ECHO) • QTc > 480 msec on screening ECG (using the QTcF formula) • Unstable angina pectoris • Ventricular arrhythmias except for benign premature ventricular contractions • Supraventricular and nodal arrhythmias requiring a pacemaker or not controlled with medication • Conduction abnormality requiring a pacemaker • Valvular disease with documented compromise in cardiac function • Symptomatic pericarditis9. Patient has a history of cardiac dysfunction 10. Family history of congenital long or short QT, or known history of QT/QTc prolongation or Torsade de Point(TdP) 11. Inadequately controlled hypertension(i.e, SBP >180 mmHg or DBP >100mmHg) 12. Patient has impairment of gastrointestinal (GI) function or GI disease that may significantly alter the absorption of BEZ235 (e.g., ulcerative diseases, uncontrolled nausea, vomiting, diarrhea grade = 2, malabsorption syndrome, or small bowel resection). 13. Patient is concurrently using other approved antineoplastic or any investigational agents (hormonal agent included) in the last 30 days prior to start of treatment 14. Patient receiving chronic treatment with systemic steroids or another immunosuppressive agent at start of study treatment. 15. Note: Topical applications (e.g., rash), inhaled sprays (e.g., obstructive airways diseases), eye drops or local injections (e.g., intra-articular) are allowed. 16. Patient is currently being treated with any of the following drugs: • Moderate and strong inhibitors or inducers of CYP3A4/5 (see Appendix 1) • Drugs with known risk to induce Torsades de Pointes (see Appendix 3) • Warfarin or coumarin analogues • LHRH agonists17. Patient is consuming Seville oranges, grapefruit, grapefruit hybrids, pummelos and exotic citrus fruits (as well as their juices) during the last 7 days prior to start of treatment. Regular orange juice is permitted. 18. Immunocompromised patients, including known seropositivity for HIV (testing is not mandatory). 19. Patient has other concur
