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.

Study Type : Interventional  (Clinical Trial)
Estimated Enrollment : 176 participants
Allocation: Randomized
Intervention Model: Parallel Assignment
Intervention Model Description: A prospective,multicenter,randomized trial with two arms
Masking: None (Open Label)
Primary Purpose: Treatment
Official Title: A Prospective,Multicenter,Randomized Trial of Biweekly Single-dose Actinomycin-D Versus Multi-day Methotrexate Protocol for the Treatment of Low-risk Gestational Trophoblastic Neoplasia
Actual Study Start Date : September 29, 2020
Estimated Primary Completion Date : December 2024
Estimated Study Completion Date : December 2025


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.
Drug: Methotrexate
50mg intramuscularly on Days 1, 3, 5, 7 . Repeat every 14 days
Other Name: MTX

Drug: Leucovorin
15mg intramuscularly on Days 2, 4, 6, 8. Repeat every 14 days
Other Name: Calcium folinate

Experimental: Arm 2-Dactinomycin
Patients will receive IV pulse actinomycin-D (1.25mg/m2,2mg max dos) 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.
Drug: Dactinomycin
1.25mg/m2 (2mg max dose)intravenous every 14 days.
Other Name: dactinomycin D




Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Completely remission (CR) rate by single-agent [ Time Frame: 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.

  2. Overall completely remission rate [ Time Frame: 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 :
  1. The duration needed to achieve complete remission after single-agent chemotherapy [ Time Frame: 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

  2. The number of courses needed to achieve complete remission after single-agent chemotherapy [ Time Frame: 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

  3. Incidence of Adverse Effects (Grade 3 or Higher) [ Time Frame: 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

  4. Effects on menstrual conditions and ovarian function [ Time Frame: 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)
