Biweekly Actinomycin-D Treatment or Multi-day Methotrexate Protocol in Low-risk Gestational Trophoblastic Neoplasia
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
The investigators conducted a randomized trial to study how well multi-day methotrexate protocol works compared to biweekly single-dose actinomycin D protocol in treating patients with low-risk gestational trophoblastic neoplasia. It is not yet known whether multi-day methotrexate protocol is as effective as biweekly single-dose actinomycin D protocol in treating patients with gestational trophoblastic neoplasia.

Arms and Interventions
| Arm | Intervention/Treatment |
|---|---|
| Experimental: Arm1-Methotrexate Patients receive methotrexate intramuscularly（50mg） on Days 1, 3, 5, 7 (4 doses per cycle) with Leucovorin (15mg) on Days 2, 4, 6, 8. Repeat every 14 days. Patients continue on treatment until beta HCG titer is below the institutional normal. Patients then receive 2-3 additional consolidation treatment. If the level of hCG become stationary for at least 2 course of single-agent chemotherapy or rise again, the patient will be referred to multi-course chemotherapy. FAV regimen is preferred, or EMA-CO regimen can also be selected if FAV is unavailable. |

Patients then receive 2-3 additional consolidation treatment.If the level of hCG become stationary for at least 2 course of single-agent chemotherapy or rise again, the patient will be referred to multi-course chemotherapy. FAV regimen is preferred, or EMA-CO regimen can also be selected if FAV is unavailable. |

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Completely remission (CR) rate by single-agent [from date of treatment begin until the data serum hCG is normal for 3 consecutive weeks by single-agent chemotherapy，assessed up to 8 months]
Percentage of participants with complete response by single-agent chemotherapy. A complete response was defined as a normal hCG sustained over 3 weekly measurements.
- Overall completely remission rate [from date of treatment begin until the data serum hCG is normal for 3 consecutive weeks by single-agent chemotherapy or multi-agent chemotherapy，assessed up to 12 months]
Percentage of participants with complete response by single-agent chemotherapy and those by second line multiple-drug chemotherapy after single-agent failure
Secondary Outcome Measures
- The duration needed to achieve complete remission after single-agent chemotherapy [from date of treatment begin until the data serum hCG is normal for 3 consecutive weeks by single-agent chemotherapy，assessed up to 8 months]
The duration needed to achieve complete remission after single-agent in two arms
- The number of courses needed to achieve complete remission after single-agent chemotherapy [from date of treatment begin until the data serum hCG is normal for 3 consecutive weeks by single-agent chemotherapy，assessed up to 8 months]
The number of courses needed to achieve complete remission after single-agent chemotherapy in two arms
- Incidence of Adverse Effects (Grade 3 or Higher) [through study completion, an average of 3 year]
Incidence and severity of Adverse Effects (Grade 3 or Higher) as Assessed by Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) Version 5.0 in two arms
- Effects on menstrual conditions and ovarian function [Prior to treatment begin，and 6 month after single-agent chemotherapy completion, an average of 2 year]
Effects on menstrual conditions and ovarian function measured by Anti-Mullerian hormone（AMH）
