Official title: Fertility Sparing Therapy for Patients With Stage IA G2 Endometrial Cancer
Run by Peking University People's Hospital · NCT06468215 · Data updated 2026-11-12
This trial tests whether using a progesterone-only therapy, alone or with combined treatment, can preserve fertility in women with stage IA, grade 2 endometrioid endometrial cancer.

Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates are women ≤45 with endometrioid adenocarcinoma grade 2 confined to the endometrium (IA) who want to preserve fertility and consent to participate.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients with tumor invasion beyond the endometrium (IB or higher), non-endometrioid histology, or those not seeking fertility preservation may not benefit.

What this trial studies
This multi-center, prospective, randomized trial compares monotherapy with oral medroxyprogesterone acetate to a combination regimens for women with endometrioid adenocarcinoma grade 2 who wish to preserve fertility. Eligibility is limited to patients with tumors confined to the endometrium (IA) and age 45 or younger. Outcomes include cancer control and pregnancy-related results after fertility-sparing therapy. The study is conducted at Peking University People’s Hospital and involves hospital and outpatient records to track efficacy and safety. The aim is to identify which regimen offers the best balance of oncologic safety and fertility potential.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, the regimen identified could improve fertility outcomes while maintaining cancer control for young women with this cancer.
How similar studies have gone: Past research on fertility-sparing approaches supports potential benefit in low-grade, early-stage cancers, but data for grade 2 limited and this trial adds direct comparative evidence.
