Mirena® ± Metformin as Fertility-preserving Treatment for Young Asian Women With Early Endometrial Cancer

December 8, 2016 updated by: Ting-Chang Chang, Chang Gung Memorial Hospital

Primary objective To discover the efficacies of levonorgestrel-containing intrauterine device (LNG-IUS, Mirena®), with or without metformin, as fertility-preserving treatment for grade 1 endometrioid adenocarcinoma of endometrium, cT1aN0M0 with presumed no myometrial invasion on image study (MRI preferred).

Secondary objectives

  1. To discover the morphological and molecular change in the endometrium tumor before and after treatment
  2. To discover the effectiveness of adding oral progestin to subjects who show no good response to assigned
  3. To compare (1) the systemic effects, including body weight change, neuropsychiatric alternation, GI disturbance, skin disorder, change in serum metabolic and hepatic markers between the two study patient groups; (2) The rate of long-term success defined as (a) sustained remission of >= 12 months starts from the histologic documentation of complete remission (b) rate of pregnancy and (c) alive baby delivery, based on time-to-event analysis.
  4. Molecular markers and their expression before, during and after treatment, including progesterone B receptor, progesterone A receptor, estrogen receptor, Ki67, PTEN and its related markers, Bcl2 and its related markers and other developing markers. This is to discover prediction markers to medical treatment.

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

20 years to 40 years (Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Genders Eligible for Study

Female

  2. Suspected lymph node metastasis or other metastasis appears in image study
  3. Ovarian tumour in image study
  4. Blurred junction between the endometrium and the myometrium on image study, with the impression that myometrial invasion of the endometrial tumour cannot be ruled out
  5. Ultrasonographic study or MRI show obvious adenomyosis or ovarian endometriosis
  6. Women who are contraindicated to receive study treatment because of intolerance to treatment agents, medical co-morbidity or other reason(s)

Intervention / Treatment

Experimental: Mirena® + metformin
The enrolled patient is allocated to either LNG-IUS only or LNG-IUS + metformin by central randomization with study site allocation. A 90-100 days of continuous treatment before first histologic assessment of treatment response is required. The patient will receive endometrial curettage or hysteroscopic evaluation and resection of suspected lesion after 90-100 days of treatment. Patients with good response to assigned treatment will continue the treatment for another 90-100 days and second histologic assessment will be performed. Patients with poor response to assigned treatment at first assessment will receive additive oral progestin therapy, along with the assigned regimen(s) as, Oral progestin, either medroxyprogesterone acetate 500 mg daily or oral megestrol acetate 160 mg daily After a total of at least 6 months treatment period, the patient with good response at first assessment is suggested to keep the Mirena for maintenance until plan to get pregnant
Drug: Metformin
