August 6, 2026 updated by: Wang Jianliu, Peking University People's Hospital

PD-1 Inhibitor Combined With Progesterone Treatment in Fertility Sparing Therapy for Mismatch Repair-deficient Endometrial Cancer

The objective of this study was to investigate the feasibility of a PD-1 inhibitor in combination with progesterone as a means of preserving fertility in patients with early-stage mismatch repair-deficient (MMRd) endometrial cancer who wish to preserve fertility.

Detailed Description

Endometrial cancer (EC) is a prevalent gynecological cancer with an escalating global incidence. The standard treatment for endometrial cancer is total hysterectomy and bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy. However, given the rising incidence of endometrial cancer in younger individuals and the the delay in the age of human reproduction, the conservation of endometrial cancer has garnered heightened attention. Clinical practice has demonstrated that high-dose progesterone can reverse the lesioned endometrium, thereby providing a rationale for the conservative treatment of early-stage endometrial cancer.

PD-1 inhibitor has been utilized as a salvage treatment in many cancers including ovarian cancer, cervical cancer, lung cancer, gastric cancer and endometrial cancer. As endometrial cancer showed MMRd rates, it is assumed to be highly responsive to PD-1 inhibitor treatment. Previous literature has reported that the efficacy of progesterone therapy is limited in patients with a MMRd status.Here we want to investigate the feasibility of PD-1 inhibitor combined with progesterone in early stage endometrial cancer patients who want to preserve fertility.

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

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Complete remission (CR) rate
Time Frame: From start of treatment to trial completion, an average of 3 months
No endometrioid carcinoma or any proliferative lesion is found by pathology; imaging examination shows no evidence of a tumor
From start of treatment to trial completion, an average of 3 months
Time to CR
Time Frame: From start of treatment to trial completion, an average of 3 months
Time to CR was calculated from the commencement of fertility-preserving treatment to the date of the initial hysteroscopic examination to confirm CR
From start of treatment to trial completion, an average of 3 months

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Recurrence rate
Time Frame: 6 months, 1 year, 2 year, 3 year, 4 year, 5 year after CR
After complete remission, there is evidence of recurrence in pathology, and the imaging examination shows that the lesion recurrences.
6 months, 1 year, 2 year, 3 year, 4 year, 5 year after CR
Pregnancy rate
Time Frame: 1 year after CR
A pregnancy test shows pregnancy after CR.
1 year after CR
Live birth rate
Time Frame: 1 year after pregnancy
The live birth rate is defined as the ratio of live births to pregnancies.
