Tirzepatide and Levonorgestrel IUD Therapy for EIN and Early-Stage Endometrial Cancer
Combination Tirzepatide and Levonorgestrel Intrauterine Device Therapy for Endometrial Intraepithelial Neoplasia (EIN) and Grade 1 Endometrioid Endometrial Carcinoma: A Pilot Window-of-Opportunity Study
Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 10 Sept 2026
Brief summary (registry, in English)
This single-arm study will evaluate the feasibility, safety, and preliminary efficacy of tirzepatide in combination with standard levonorgestrel intrauterine device (LNG-IUD) therapy in patients with endometrial intraepithelial neoplasia (EIN) or grade 1 endometrioid endometrial carcinoma with co-existing obesity and metabolic risk factors. Participants will receive tirzepatide once weekly while continuing standard clinical management with an LNG-IUD. Treatment decisions will remain at the discretion of the treating physician. The primary objective is to evaluate pathologic response at approximately 6 months. Secondary objectives include changes in metabolic parameters, assessing the incidence and severity of adverse events of tirzepatide and LNG-IUD therapy, quality of life assessment, change in weight, and change in BMI.
