Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

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 Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

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.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Methotrexate

Intervention Type DRUG

50mg intramuscularly on Days 1, 3, 5, 7 . Repeat every 14 days

Leucovorin

Intervention Type DRUG

15mg intramuscularly on Days 2, 4, 6, 8. Repeat every 14 days

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.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Dactinomycin

Intervention Type DRUG

1.25mg/m2 (2mg max dose)intravenous every 14 days.
