Metformin With the Levonorgestrel-Releasing Intrauterine Device for the Treatment of Complex Atypical Hyperplasia (CAH) and Endometrial Cancer (EC) in Non-surgical Patients

Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 18 Dec 2024

Brief summary (registry, in English)

Purpose: This is an open label, single-arm, single-center study of the addition of metformin to standard levonorgestrel-releasing intrauterine device (LR-IUD) treatment of 30 evaluable non-surgical patients with either complex atypical hyperplasia (CAH; n=15) or grade 1 endometrial adenocarcinoma (EC; n=15). Participants:Women, over the age of 18 years, with biopsy-proven CAH/EC who are not candidates for surgical management, and therefore are planned to start standard of care treatment with the LR-IUD Procedures (methods): subjects will be given oral metformin therapy for 12 months, or until disease progression occurs (whichever occurs first), in addition to LR-IUD treatment. Serial endometrial biopsies will be performed, as per standard of care, to assess disease status.

Built from the registry fields of ClinicalTrials.gov. It describes the study, not your situation.

Who cannot take part

Copied verbatim from ClinicalTrials.gov and grouped by topic. Only the trial team decides who can take part.

Prior treatment

  • Currently receiving progestin therapy (local, topical, or systemic)
  • Prior or current use of metformin within the past 3 months
  • Iodinated contrast agents used in prior 48 hours (significant increase in metformin concentration and risk of lactic acidosis)

Other illness

  • Myometrial invasion \>50% or evidence of nodal or metastatic disease on baseline MRI (MRI only to be done for EC patients) or tumor size \> 2cm on MRI or pelvic ultrasound
  • History of hypersensitivity to metformin or history of discontinuation secondary to attributed adverse effects
  • Recent (\< 4 weeks) active, documented, cervical infection

Lab values

  • Evidence of renal dysfunction (Cr \> 1.5mg/dL or Cr clearance \< 60 mL/m2) or liver dysfunction (AST/alanine aminotransferase (ALT) \> 2x upper limit of normal (ULN))

Other

  • Mixed histology including clear cell, serous, undifferentiated or sarcomatous elements
  • Chronic (daily use for \> 1 month) use of cimetidine (significant increase in metformin concentration and risk of lactic acidosis)
  • Pregnant or lactating

Who the study is looking for

  • Subjects must meet all of the inclusion criteria to participate in this study:
  • Histologically confirmed CAH or grade 1 EC
  • Females age ≥ 18 years
  • Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) Performance Status 0 - 4
  • Non-surgical candidates due to:
    • Desire for fertility preserving treatment
    • Unacceptable surgical risk as defined by:
    • American Society of Anesthesiologists Physical Status (ASA) ≥ 4 and/or Perioperative Cardiac Risk \> 5%(45) and/or Perioperative Respiratory Failure Risk \> 5%(46)
    • AND
    • oIndependent medicine or cardiology pre-op consultation concluding 'high' surgical risk.
  • Planned treatment with the LR-IUD for CAH or grade 1 EC by primary physician
