Study summary

To explore the treatment efficacy of Progesterone Therapeutic Regimen Plus Statins in patients with atypical endometrial hyperplasia (AEH) and early endometrial carcinoma (EEC) for conservative treatment.

Read the detailed description

After diagnosed of AEH or EEC by hysteroscopy, patients meet the study criteria will be enrolled. The lipid content (lipid droplet, cholesterol and triglyceride) in endometrial lesion tissue was detected by Raman scattering instrument. And Age, height, weight, waistline, blood pressure, basic history of infertility and family cancer will be collected. Blood tests, including fasting blood glucose (FBG), fasting insulin (FINS), blood lipids, sex hormone levels, anti-müllerian hormone (AMH) and renal/liver function tests will be performed before treatment to evacuate their basic conditions. Each subject will receive body fat testing by Inbody 770.

Patients with endometrial cancer who met the inclusion criteria were randomly divided into the control group and the experimental group in a 1:1 ratio according to the random numbers generated in advance. The administration regimen for the two groups was as follows:

  1. Control group: progesterone regimen (oral medroxyprogesterone acetate tablet 250mg-500mg/ day or Mirena +GnRHa 3.75mg subcutaneous injection monthly);
  2. Trial group: progesterone regimen (oral medroxyprogesterone acetate tablet 250mg-500mg/ day or Mirena +GnRHa3.75mg subcutaneous injection monthly) combined with statins (oral atorvastatin calcium tablet 20mg/ day; or rosuvastatin 5mg/ day; or pivastatin 2mg/ day);

The specific selection of progesterone regimen was based on whether the patients had oral progesterone contraindications and if BMI≥28kg/m2 was not suitable for oral progesterone, Mirena +GnRHa regimen was selected. The choice of statin drugs is based on the results of the drug sensitivity test of the patient's tumor tissue, and the most sensitive one of the three drugs is selected.

For patients remained SD after 9 months of treatment but refused hysterectomy, a multiple disciplinary discussion would be held for individual case, and alternative treatment would be given. Maintenance treatment will be recommended for patients with CR, and participants will be followed up for at least 1 year.

Inclusion criteria

  • The pathological types are consistent with:

    1. Atypical endometrial hyperplasia;
    2. Patients with highly differentiated endometrioid adenocarcinoma, stage IA, and pelvic and abdominal MRI before treatment excluded deep muscle infiltration, cervical involvement, and extrauterine ;
    3. There is a strong need to preserve reproductive function; Age ≤45 years old;
    4. Progesterone resistant patients predicted by the progesterone sensitivity prediction model (NCT05647109) established by our team in the previous study of endometrial cancer were prospectively randomized; The predicted progesterone sensitive patients were prospectively observed;
    5. and signed informed consent;
    6. have follow-up conditions and are willing to continue to follow the visitors in the hospital;
    7. Patients with normal/abnormal blood lipids who have not taken any lipid-lowering drugs;
    8. A. Newly treated patients: did not use any nursery therapy drugs (progesterone, GNRH-a); B. 1 course of treatment (12 weeks) the lesions persisted; C. Partial remission for 2 courses of treatment (24 weeks);

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

  • (1) Patients with severe internal diseases and severe impairment of liver and kidney function;

    (2) Disease progression, extrauterine (cervical invasion or distant metastasis such as pelvic cavity) during treatment;

    (3) People with therapeutic drug allergies and ;

    (4) 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 use progesterone;

    (5) Patients with deep vein thrombosis, stroke and myocardial infarction during treatment;

    (6) Alcoholics (> 20g/ day);

    (7) Smokers (> 15 cigarettes/day)

Terms in these criteria, in plain language(3)

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.

Metastases

Cancer that has spread from where it began to other parts of the body. “Metastatic” cancer is cancer that has spread this way.

Informed consent

Before you join, the study team explains what taking part involves — its purpose, what happens, the risks and possible benefits — and answers your questions, so you can decide freely. Consent is usually recorded on a form (the informed consent form, ICF) signed by you or, where the law allows, by someone legally authorised to decide for you.

You can keep asking questions during the study, you are told of new information that matters, and you can choose to leave at any time.

Contraindication

A reason a treatment, test or procedure should not be given to a particular person, such as an allergy, another illness or a medicine they take.

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 Apr 29, 2025, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
