1,500 women join landmark study to stop molar pregnancy turning cancerous
NCT ID NCT07202728
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study follows 1,489 women diagnosed with hydatidiform mole (molar pregnancy) across multiple hospitals in China. Researchers will track how often the condition becomes cancerous and look for ways to predict and prevent that. The goal is to create a nationwide system for better diagnosis and treatment, while also monitoring patients' mental health and future fertility.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could lead to better prediction and prevention of molar pregnancy turning into cancer, and more personalized care for patients.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational study, not a treatment trial, so it won't directly test a new therapy. Results may take years and might not change practice immediately.

Who can take part
This study's own entry requirements. Only the study team can say for certain whether you qualify.
Who is studied
This study will enrol women with a confirmed hydatidiform mole who have undergone uterine evacuation. Candidates must possess complete clinical and pathological records and show no myometrial invasion or distant metastasis at baseline. We will exclude those with concurrent malignancy, severe autoimmune or infectious disease, or significant psychiatric illness. Longitudinal follow-up will track malignant transformation (post-molar gestational trophoblastic neoplasia per FIGO criteria), reproductive outcomes, and health-related quality of life. By establishing a large, nationwide, multicentre cohort, we aim to clarify the epidemiology, pinpoint risk factors for malignant progression, and evaluate long-term reproductive and psychosocial outcomes in this population.

Inclusion Criteria: 1. Clinically or pathologically diagnosed as hydatidiform mole. 2. Availability of complete medical records, including clinical and pathological data. 3. No evidence of myometrial invasion or metastasis. 4. Serum hCG levels normalized after uterine evacuation with at least 6 months of follow-up, OR diagnosed with postmolar gestational trophoblastic neoplasia (pGTN) during follow-up. 5. No history of psychiatric disorders, serious infectious diseases, or immune system diseases (such as systemic lupus erythematosus, myasthenia gravis, HIV infection, etc.). 6. Willing to participate in this study and sign the relevant informed consent form. Exclusion Criteria: 1. Missing clinical data. 2. Loss to follow-up: Do not return to participating hospital for follow-up visits after uterine evacuation, or could not be contacted for subsequent monitoring of hCG changes. 3. Concomitant malignancies or autoimmune deficiency disorders (e.g., systemic lupus erythematosus, myasthenia gravis, HIV infection, etc.). 4. As determined by the investigator, the presence of medical, psychological, social, occupational, or other conditions that would violate the study protocol or impair the subject's ability to provide informed consent.
