Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Complete response to treatment: This variable is defined as the complete elimination of the non-atypical endometrial hyperplasia lesion in the histopathological examination of the endometrium. In such a way that in the endometrial biopsy specimen taken 6 months after the start of the intervention, no evidence of endometrial hyperplasia (including increased glandular to stroma ratio, irregular glandular architecture, or abnormal proliferative changes) is observed and a normal histological pattern or secretory/atrophic endometrium is reported. This variable is recorded as a binary (yes/no); meaning that patients who meet the above criteria are considered as "having a complete response" and other patients are considered as "lacking a complete response". The complete response variable is the primary outcome of the study and the sample size calculation was also performed based on the expected difference in complete response rates between the treatment groups. Timepoint: 6 months after intervention. Method of measurement: Endometrial biopsy and histopathological examination by a pathologist.
