Gonadotropin-releasing Hormone Agonist (GnRHa) Plus Letrozole In Young Women With Early Endometrial Cancer

Официальное название

Gonadotropin-releasing Hormone Agonist Combined With Letrozole Compared With Megestrol Acetate or Medroxyprogesterone Acetate Alone as Fertility-sparing Treatment in Early Endometrial Cancer

Обзор

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.

Подробное описание

This will be a multicenter randomized controlled study to evaluate the treatment effects and adverse events of GnRHa plus AIs compared with MA/MPA in primary EEC patients.In this study, young patients (18-45 years) diagnosed as EEC for the first time seeking for fertility preserving treatment at the Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital of Fudan University were screened. Patients were randomly assigned (1:1) to GnRHa+letrozole group (triprorelin acetate, intramuscular injection of 3.75mg was given 4 weeks apart and the maximum use are 6 courses. letrozole, 2.5mg oral daily and no more than 24 weeks) or MA/MPA group (160 mg oral MA daily or 500 mg oral MPA daily).

Hysteroscopy will be performed every 3 months during treatment to evaluate the treatment effects. For patients with EEC, complete response (CR) is defined as the reversion of endometrial carcinoma to proliferative or secretory endometrium; partial response (PR) is defined as regression to simple or complex hyperplasia with or without atypia; Stable disease (SD) is defined as the persistence of the disease; and progressive disease (PD) is defined as the progression of endometrial lesions. Continuous therapies will be needed in PR, SD or PD.The primary endpoint was cumulative complete response (CR) rate at 16 weeks of treatment. The secondary endpoints were cumulative CR rate at 28weeks of treatment, adverse events, recurrent rate, pregnancy rate, effects on ovarian function and quality of life of patients.
