NCT ID NCT07436793
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jul 02, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study compares two hormone drugs (megestrol acetate and micronized progesterone) in 140 women with endometrial cancer or precancer. Participants take one of the drugs for a short time before their scheduled surgery. Researchers will measure how well each drug slows cancer cell growth and look for clues about why one might work better. The goal is to improve hormone therapy for this type of cancer.
