Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Women aged 18–45 with stage IA, G1–G2 endometrioid endometrial cancer and confirmed MMR deficiency who strongly desire fertility preservation.

Probably not a fit

Patients with tumors beyond stage IA, non-endometrioid histology, or contraindications to PCM/MA or immunotherapy may not benefit.

What this trial studies

This interventional study explores the feasibility of combining a PD-1 inhibitor (Sintilimab or Pembrolizumab) with progestin therapy (medroxyprogesterone acetate or megestrol acetate) in women with early-stage, MMR-deficient endometrioid endometrial cancer who wish to preserve fertility. Eligible participants are aged 18–45 with FIGO stage IA disease and confirmed MMR deficiency, planning fertility preservation. The trial assesses whether this combination can control the cancer while avoiding hysterectomy, relying on local pathology and molecular testing to select patients and monitor response. Endometrial cancer is commonly treated with hysterectomy, but this approach seeks a conservative option for properly selected patients. Safety and feasibility outcomes will guide future work in fertility-sparing management.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, participants may maintain fertility while achieving disease control without uterus-removing surgery.

How similar studies have gone: PD-1 inhibitors have shown activity in endometrial cancer, but data on combining with progestin for fertility preservation are limited/experimental.
