Study summary

To construct a prediction model of progesterone sensitivity in patients with endometrial cancer treated with fertility preservation

Read the detailed description

After diagnosed of early endometrial carcinoma (EEC) or atypical endometrial hyperplasia (AEH) by hysteroscopy, patients meet the study criteria will be enrolled.

Patients will receive MPA (Medroxyprogesterone acetate) 250-500mg or MA (megestrol acetate) 160-320mg by mouth daily. Then hysteroscopy will be used to evaluate the endometrial condition every 3 months, and intra-operative findings will be recorded. Hysteroscopy will continue until pathology confirms complete response. Complete response (CR) is defined as the reversion of endometrial atypical hyperplasia to proliferative or secretory endometrium; partial response (PR) is defined as regression to hyperplasia with or without atypic; stable disease (SD) is defined as the persistence of the disease; and progressive disease (PD) is defined as the appearance of higher pathological progression, or myometrial invasion, or extra-uterine metastasis. Continuous therapies will be needed in PR or SD. Patients with PD will be recommended for hysterectomy.

During each hysteroscopy, the intraoperative residual tissues were sent to the laboratory of College of Future Science and Technology of Peking University for culture as Patient-derived tumor-like cell clusters (PTC), and the content of lipids (lipid droplet size and cholesterol content) was measured by stimulated Raman scattering imaging and recorded. After collecting the data of 148 cases, the prediction model was constructed. Then the model is validated in the validation set composed of 96 new cases. In order to determine the accuracy and sensitivity of the model.

If a patient has achieved a pathological complete response and a high lipid content is detected in the tissue by stimulated Raman scattering imaging, we will follow up for subsequent recurrence.

Study population

This study focused on young, pre-menopausal patients with atypical endometrial hyperplasia or endometrioid adenocarcinoma diagnosed by hysteroscopic biopsy, who had a strong desire to preserve reproductive function.

Go through the criteria one by one — yes, no or not sure — and take the list to your doctor or the study team. Kept in this browser only.

Inclusion criteria

  • Have a confirmed pathological diagnosis based upon hysteroscopy: atypical endometrial hyperplasia or histologically prove well-differentiated EEC G1 without myometrial invasion
  • No signs of suspicious extrauterine involvement on enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) or enhanced computed tomography (CT) or ultrasound
  • Have a desire for remaining reproductive function or uterus
  • Good compliance with adjunctive treatment and follow-up

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Acute liver disease or liver tumor (benign or malignant) or renal dysfunction
  • Pregnancy or potential pregnancy
  • Confirmed diagnosis of any cancer in reproductive system
  • Acute severe disease such as stroke or heart infarction or a history of thrombosis disease
  • or contradiction for using MPA or MA
  • With other factors of reproductive dysfunction;
  • Strong request for uterine removal or other conservative treatment
Terms in these criteria, in plain language(1)

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.

Hypersensitivity

An allergy, or another reaction of the immune system, to a substance. “Hypersensitivity to the study drug” means a known allergic reaction to it — not every side effect a medicine can have.

Groups and cohorts

  • Set of training

    A total of 148 patients with endometrial cancer and atypical endometrial hyperplasia were included in the training set of the prediction model. They were divided into progesterone sensitive group and progesterone insensitive group.

    Other: No intervention

  • Set of verification

    A verification set of the prediction model was established, consisting of 96 patients with endometrial cancer and atypical endometrial hyperplasia.

    Other: No intervention

Timeline

Tracking since Sep 25, 2026
ElapsedEstimatedEstimated, not yet reachedSimilar studies: half by the dot; the band is the middle halfHalf of similar studies reached it by the dot; the band is the middle half, from a quarter to three quarters

Started Sep 2021 (actual). Primary completion is estimated for Aug 2025, 47 months after the start.

Of 130 non-industry observational studies under Endometrial Neoplasms, half reached primary completion within 105 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 32 and three quarters within 206. This study's planned 47 months is below that.

Counting every sponsor, half of 150 studies reached it within 105 months; a quarter within 32 and three quarters within 207.

How these figures are worked out, and which studies are left out of them.

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on May 4, 2025, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
