This study is looking for a better way to treat pre-cancer or early-stage cancer in the lining of the uterus in women who are also overweight. Everyone in the study will receive the standard treatment, a Progesterone IUD (LNG-IUD). This device is put in the uterus and releases hormones to help fight the disease. We will add a new medicine, Tirzepatide, for some people. Tirzepatide is a shot that helps with weight loss and overall health. You will be placed into one of two groups by chance (like flipping a coin): 1. Group 1: You get the Progesterone IUD PLUS the Tirzepatide shot. 2. Group 2: You get the Progesterone IUD ONLY (Standard Treatment). During the study, you will be asked to fill out surveys often. These questions ask about your daily life, how you feel about your health and weight, and any side effects you might have. This helps us understand how the treatments affect you. You will have small tissue samples (biopsies) taken from your uterus at different times. This is how doctors check at 12 months (one year) if the pre-cancer or cancer cells are completely gone. The schedules for visits, tests, and monitoring will be identical for both groups to ensure fairness. If this study is successful, it could mean that women who are overweight with these conditions can get a better treatment that gets rid of the disease and still allows them to keep their ability to have children (avoids surgery). It may also improve their overall health through weight loss.
This study is looking for a better way to treat early-stage uterine problems in women who are also overweight. These problems are called pre-cancer (EIN) or early cancer of the uterus. The standard treatment we already use is a device called the LNG-IUD, which is placed in the uterus and releases hormones. This device helps many women avoid surgery and keep their ability to have children, but it doesn't always work well for women who are overweight. This is because being overweight causes other health problems, like problems with sugar and fat in the body, and inflammation, which can make the uterine problem worse. We are testing a new medicine, Tirzepatide, in combination with the standard IUD treatment. Tirzepatide is a proven medicine that safely helps people lose significant weight and improve their health. We believe that by adding this weight-loss medicine, we can attack uterine disease from two sides: 1. Hormones: with the IUD. 2. Body Health: by improving weight, sugar levels, and inflammation with Tirzepatide. Scientists have found that Tirzepatide might help slow down the growth of abnormal cells in the uterus. We hope that combining these two treatments will be much more effective at completely eliminating the cancerous or pre-cancerous cells (which we call a pathologic complete response). In this study, we will carefully assess how well the medicine works on the tumor and how much weight loss and health improvement you experience. This will give us important information to help other women in the future.
