What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting This study
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Details not published
The full record has not been published yet, so there is little to show here.
Status unknown
This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.

Summary

This trial tests whether adding mazdutide, a weekly injection that helps with weight loss, to a hormonal intrauterine device (IUD) can improve treatment for overweight or obese women with atypical endometrial hyperplasia or early-stage endometrioid endometrial cancer who wish to preserve fertility. Participants will receive either the IUD plus mazdutide or the IUD plus a placebo. The main goal is to see if the combination leads to a complete disappearance of the abnormal cells in the lining of the uterus within 24 weeks.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
Mazdutide (a dual GLP-1R/GCGR agonist) combined with a levonorgestrel-releasing intrauterine system (LNG-IUS)
What this could lead to
If effective, this combination could offer a non-surgical, fertility-sparing option for overweight women with early endometrial cancer or precancer, potentially allowing them to preserve fertility while treating the disease.
What could go wrong
This is a Phase 2 trial, so results are preliminary. The addition of mazdutide may not improve response rates over the IUD alone, and side effects from the drug or the IUD could limit its use.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: * Female participants aged 18 to 45 years. * Participants have a clear desire to preserve fertility, fully understand that fertility-sparing treatment is not the standard radical treatment for endometrial cancer, are willing to accept the potential risks of disease progression or recurrence associated with delayed radical surgery, and are able to comply with close follow-up as required by the protocol. * Histologically confirmed disease meeting one of the following criteria: atypical endometrial hyperplasia; or FIGO grade 1 endometrioid endometrial cancer meeting FIGO 2023 stage IA1, with disease confined to the endometrium or an endometrial polyp and no myometrial invasion. * Imaging confirms disease confined to the endometrium, with no evidence of myometrial invasion, adnexal involvement, extrauterine disease, or distant metastasis. * Estrogen receptor-positive disease. * Molecular pathology requirements are fulfilled for participants with endometrial cancer, including exclusion of the p53-abnormal molecular subtype. For participants with POLE-ultramutated or mismatch repair-deficient tumors, suitability for fertility-sparing treatment should be determined based on age, family history, genetic findings, and multidisciplinary assessment. Genetic counseling, germline testing, or additional molecular testing may be performed when clinically indicated. * No contraindication to progestin therapy. * Uterine cavity suitable for LNG-IUS placement. * Completed baseline fertility assessment; after complete response, a specific pregnancy plan should be developed after evaluation by reproductive specialists. * BMI ≥28 kg/m2, or BMI ≥24 kg/m2 with at least one weight-related comorbidity, such as hyperglycemia, hypertension, dyslipidemia, fatty liver disease, or obstructive sleep apnea. * No contraindication to mazdutide. * No contraindication to LNG-IUS. * Able to understand and sign informed consent and willing to comply with all study treatments, assessments, and follow-up procedures. Exclusion Criteria: * Pathological diagnosis not consistent with atypical endometrial hyperplasia or eligible early endometrioid endometrial cancer; endometrioid carcinoma grade 2 or higher; or p53-abnormal molecular subtype. * Imaging or pathological evidence of myometrial invasion, ovarian malignancy, extrauterine disease, or distant metastasis. * Prior fertility-sparing drug therapy or intrauterine progestin therapy for atypical endometrial hyperplasia or endometrial cancer. * Use of hormonal therapy or GLP-1 receptor agonists within 6 months before enrollment. * Pregnancy or breastfeeding at enrollment. * Request for hysterectomy or treatment other than conservative medical therapy. * Active pelvic inflammatory disease, recurrent pelvic inflammatory disease, or lower genital tract infection. * Cervical dysplasia or congenital or acquired uterine abnormalities, including fibroids that distort the uterine cavity. * Uterine cavity too large for adequate LNG-IUS coverage or history of LNG-IUS expulsion. * Known hypersensitivity to mazdutide, any of its excipients, or LNG-IUS materials. * History of malignancy at another site. * Uncontrolled clinically significant comorbidities or medical history that may increase study risk or interfere with study evaluation, including cardiovascular, cerebrovascular, thromboembolic, hepatic, renal, coagulation, endocrine, psychiatric, pancreatic, biliary, or severe gastrointestinal disorders. * Diabetes diagnosed by oral glucose tolerance test. * Secondary obesity or endocrine disorders that may affect body weight or metabolic assessment. * Contraindications or major risk factors related to GLP-1 receptor agonist therapy, including pancreatitis, clinically significant gallbladder disease, severe gastrointestinal motility disorder, medullary thyroid carcinoma, or multiple endocrine neoplasia type 2. * Participation in another interventional clinical trial. * Any condition that, in the investigator's opinion, may increase risk during study treatment, interfere with safety assessment, or affect interpretation of study results.
