Fertility-sparing Therapy for Patients With Stage IA Endometrial Cancer

July 12, 2023 updated by: Wang Jianliu, Peking University People's Hospital

Establishment of a Network Platform for Fertility-sparing in Patients With Endometrial Cancer and Study on Fertility-sparing Therapy for Patients With Stage IA Endometrial Cancer.

The goal of this clinical trial is to explore the feasibility and outcome of fertility-sparing therapy in Stage IA G1-G2 Endometrial Cancer with less than 1/2 myometrial invasion. Researchers will render participants indication-extended fertility-sparing therapy. Researchers will compare the myometrial invasion group with the no myometrial invasion group to see if it is possible to propose an extension indication of fertility-sparing therapy for endometrial cancer.

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Detailed Description

The study population is patients with Stage IA endometrial adenocarcinoma with no myometrial invasion or less than 1/2 myometrial invasion. The sample size is 57 cases (Myometrial invasion group : No myometrial invasion group = 1 : 2). Follow up every 3-6 months until the end of the fifth year of treatment. The primary outcome measure is the complete remission rate after 9 months of treatment. Secondary outcome measures include complete remission rate (6 months/12 months after initial treatment), complete remission time, recurrence rate (1 year/2 years after complete remission), recurrence time, pregnancy rate (1 year after complete remission), pregnancy outcome, blood molecular biomarkers, pathological markers, adverse reactions, etc.

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

  • Adult

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm

Participant Group / Arm

A group or subgroup of participants in a clinical trial that receives a specific intervention/treatment, or no intervention, according to the trial's protocol.
Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.
Experimental: Myometrial invasion group
Pelvic enhanced magnetic resonance imaging or transvaginal color Doppler ultrasound suggests that the tumor invades less than one half of the myometrium.
Combination product: Indication-extended Fertility-sparing Therapy
Patients will receive medroxyprogesterone acetate ("FARLUTAL") 250-500mg/d or megestrol acetate ("YiLiZhi") 160-320mg/d orally. If there is no response after 6 months of treatment, change the regimen to levonorgestrel intrauterine system ("Mirena") and gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonist ("Leuprorelin", "Goserelin" or "Triptorelin") 3.75mg/28d injection subcutaneously. After complete remission, the same regimen will be used for consolidation treatment for another 1-3 months. Subsequently, if the patient has no intention of pregnancy, render maintenance treatment ("Mirena", "Progesterone", "Dydrogesterone", or combined oral contraceptive). Otherwise, the patient will be encouraged to conceive either by an expectation for 3-6 months, or by assisted reproductive technology. Indications for stopping fertility-sparing therapy: 1) disease progression; 2) no response after 9 months of treatment; 3) repeated recurrence; 4) no longer require sparing fertility; 5) serious adverse reactions.
