NCT ID NCT05316493
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study is for overweight or obese women aged 18–45 with atypical endometrial hyperplasia, a precancerous condition of the uterine lining. Participants will receive either a levonorgestrel-releasing IUD (Mirena) or megestrol acetate pills, combined with a weight management program including diet and exercise guidance. The goal is to see if this combination can reverse the abnormal cells and allow women to later become pregnant.
