Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates are women aged 18 to 45 with early-stage MMRd endometrial cancer who wish to preserve their reproductive function.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients with advanced endometrial cancer or those who do not wish to preserve fertility may not benefit from this study.
A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.
What this trial studies
This clinical trial investigates the efficacy of combining the immune checkpoint inhibitor TQB2450 with high-potency progesterone for treating young patients with early-stage endometrial cancer (EC) who wish to preserve their fertility. The study focuses on patients with MMRd type EC, specifically those with tumors limited to the endometrial layer or superficial myometrium. Participants will receive TQB2450 via intravenous drip and daily oral progesterone, with therapeutic efficacy evaluated through hysteroscopy every 12 weeks. The primary goal is to assess the complete response rate at 12 weeks, while secondary endpoints include longer-term response rates and pregnancy outcomes.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this treatment could allow young women with endometrial cancer to retain their fertility while effectively managing their cancer.
How similar studies have gone: While there have been studies on fertility-sparing treatments for endometrial cancer, the combination of TQB2450 and progestin represents a novel approach that has not been extensively tested.
