Initial treatments | Second-line treatments | No. | Treatment duration to achieve CR* (wk) (median, range) | 28-week cumulative CR* rate, % | Remained PR* after 28 weeks of second-line treatment, % (No.) | Remained SD* after 28 weeks of second-line treatment, % (No.) | 28-week cumulative PD* rate, % |

MA/MPA | Prolonged treatment duration† | 7 | 12 (8–32) | 71.4 | 14.3 (1/7) | 14.3 (1/7) | 0.0 |
MA/MPA + metformin | Prolonged treatment duration† | 5 | 20 (12–28) | 100.0 | 0.0 (0/5) | 0.0 (0/5) | 0.0 |
MA/MPA | MA + metformin | 12 | 23 (9–100) | 66.7 | 25.0 (3/12) | 8.3 (1/12) | 0.0 |
MA/MPA ± metformin | Ethinylestradiol cyproterone + metformin | 26 | 19 (6–41) | 83.2 | 11.5 (3/26) | 3.8 (1/26) | 7.7 |

Treatment duration is shown as median (range).
*Treatment duration for these progestin insensitive patients was defined as from the time point of initiating second line treatment to the time point indicated in each column. †Kept on original treatment.
CR, complete response; LNG-IUS, levonorgestrel-releasing intrauterine system; MA, megestrol acetate; MPA, medroxyprogesterone acetate; PD, progressed disease; PR, partial response; SD, stable disease.
