Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Ideal candidates for this study are non-obese women diagnosed with progestin-insensitive early-stage endometrial cancer or atypical hyperplasia who desire to preserve their fertility.

Probably not a fit

Patients with severe medical conditions or significantly impaired liver function may not benefit from this study.

What this trial studies

This clinical trial investigates the effectiveness of combining GnRHa and letrozole compared to Diane-35 and metformin in treating non-obese patients with progestin-insensitive early-stage endometrial cancer and atypical hyperplasia who wish to preserve their fertility. The study aims to provide a conservative treatment option for patients who have not responded to standard progestin therapy. It will involve a single-center, prospective pilot design, enrolling patients diagnosed through hysteroscopy or dilatation and curettage. The trial focuses on patients with a BMI under 30 kg/m² to minimize risks associated with obesity.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this treatment could offer a more effective and safer option for women with early-stage endometrial cancer seeking to maintain their reproductive capabilities.

How similar studies have gone: No similar studies have been found, making this approach novel and untested.
