About this trial

To see if Gonadotropin-releasing hormone analogue (GnRHa) combined with aromatase inhibitors (AIs) will achieve better complete response rate than megestrol acetate or medroxyprogesterone acetate (MA/MPA) alone as fertility-sparing treatment for patients with early endometrial carcinoma.

Eligibility criteria

This trial accepts healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Consent informed and signed

Primarily have a confirmed diagnosis of early-stage endometrial cancer (endometrioid, grade I, without myometrial inva- sion) ) based upon endometrial biopsy, diagnostic curettage or hysteroscopy

No signs of suspicious myometrial invasion or extrauterine metastasis by enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), enhanced computed tomography (CT) or transvaginal ultrasonography (TVUS)

Have a strong desire for remaining reproductive function or uterus

Disqualifiers

Pathologically confirmed as endometrial cancer with suspicious myometrial invasion or extrauterine metastasis

Recurrent endometrial cancer

Combined with severe medical disease or severely impaired liver and kidney function

Patients with other types of endometrial cancer or other malignant tumors of the reproductive system; patients with breast cancer or other hormone- dependent tumors that cannot be used with progesterone

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Complete response rates within 16 weeks of treatment

The cumulative 16-week CR rates will be calculated in two groups

Time frame
From date of treatment initiation until the date of CR, assessed up to 16 weeks.

Secondary outcomes

1

Complete response rates within 28 weeks of treatment

The cumulative 28-week CR rates will be calculated in two groups

Time frame
From date of treatment initiation until the date of CR, assessed up to 28 weeks.
2

Time to achieve complete response

The median CR time will be calculated in two groups

Time frame
From date of treatment initiation until the date of CR or date of hysterectomy,From date of randomization until the date of CR, assessed up to 2 years
3

Adverse events

Adverse events related with Medroxyprogesterone Acetate, Megestrol Acetate, Triprorelin Acetate and Letrozole. Number of participants with treatment-related adverse events as assessed by CTCAE v5.0 will be recorded, as well as incidence of adverse events.

Time frame
