Combining GnRHa and Letrozole for Non-obese Patients with Endometrial Cancer
Official title: Gonadotropin-releasing Hormone Agonist (GnRHa) Plus Letrozole in Non-obese Progestin-insensitive Early-stage Endometrial Cancer and Atypical Hyperplasia Patients With Conservative Treatment
Run by Fudan University · NCT05316935 · Data updated 2026-11-12
This study is testing if a combination of GnRHa and letrozole can help non-obese patients with early-stage endometrial cancer keep their fertility when standard treatments haven't worked.

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.
