An Observational Study to Learn How Mirena and Other Progestogen Treatments Are Used for Endometrial Protection in Women 40+ With a Uterus in the United States Receiving Estrogen Therapy, and Their Respective Health Outcomes (SHIELD-ET)

26 sierpnia 2026 zaktualizowane przez: Bayer

Study of Real-world Use of Hormonal Levonorgestrel Intra-uterine System for Endometrial Defense With Estrogen Therapy

This is an observational study in which researchers will use claims data already collected from women in the United States who received their usual care. The study will look at women aged 40 years and older who have a uterus and started estrogen therapy.

Estrogen therapy is often used to treat menopause symptoms, such as hot flashes and night sweats, or to help prevent bone loss. Women who take estrogen and still have a uterus usually also need a progestogen to help protect the lining of the uterus. Without this protection, the lining may become too thick. This can lead to endometrial hyperplasia and may increase the risk of endometrial cancer.

This study will look at how Mirena and other progestogen treatments are used in routine medical care to protect the lining of the uterus during estrogen therapy. Mirena is a small device placed in the uterus that releases the hormone levonorgestrel (a synthetic progestogen, similar to progesterone). In the United States, Mirena is approved for birth control and for treatment of heavy menstrual bleeding. Clinicians may also use it for endometrial protection during estrogen therapy. Bayer's Mirena levonorgestrel-containing intrauterine system (LNG-IUS) 52 mg is approved for endometrial protection during hormone therapy in over 100 countries outside of the US.

The main purpose of this study is gain insight into how different progestogen treatments are used in the context of estrogen therapy in women with a uterus, and the health outcomes linked with them. Researchers will describe how often women use estrogen alone, estrogen with Mirena, or estrogen with other progestogen treatments in the past 10 years. Researchers will also look at how often endometrial hyperplasia, endometrial cancer, abnormal or heavy bleeding, and hysterectomy occur in these groups over time.

The data will come from two U.S. health insurance claims databases: Optum Clinformatics Data Mart and MarketScan Commercial Claims and Encounters Database. The study period covers 2014 through 2025, depending on the database. Optum: January 2015-December 2025 and MarketScan: October 2014-September 2025, with patient identification periods of Optum: January 2016-December 2024 and MarketScan: October 2015-September 2024. Researchers will follow each participant's available data for at least 12 months before and at least 12 months after starting estrogen therapy, with follow-up of up to 10 years.

No study treatment will be given as part of this study. Researchers will only review anonymous health insurance claims data that were already collected during routine care.

  • At least one claim of estrogen therapy (ET) during the patient identification period (Index date: the first claim for ET)
  • Age ≥ 40 years at the index date
  • Patients with minimum continuous enrollment 12 months prior and 12 months at minimum after index date

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Women without a uterus (claims of hysterectomy) in the 12-month baseline period
  • Use of any hormonal contraception in the 12-month baseline period
  • Claims indicative of atypical endometrial hyperplasia or endometrial cancer or heavy menstrual bleeding (HMB)/abnormal uterine bleeding (AUB)/postmenopausal bleeding (PMB), or any treatment for late state or metastatic endometrial cancer, in the baseline period.
  • Claims in the baseline period for any of the treatments of interest
  • Claims of chemotherapy/endocrine therapy in the baseline period

Estrogen therapy (ET) unopposed
Women receiving estrogen therapy (ET) alone without evidence of concomitant progestogen use during the exposure assessment period.
Estrogen therapy prescribed during routine clinical practice and identified through prescription claims data. Exposure to estrogen therapy is determined using study-specific claims-based definitions.
ET + Mirena LNG-IUS
Women receiving estrogen therapy (ET) with recurring prescription fills and evidence of Mirena levonorgestrel-releasing intrauterine system (LNG-IUS) use, identified through a Mirena insertion procedure code and/or device code during the exposure assessment period.
A levonorgestrel-releasing intrauterine system used for endometrial protection in women receiving estrogen therapy. Exposure is identified through Mirena insertion procedure codes and/or device codes in claims data. Contraception use of this product is not exposure of interest and baseline hormonal contraception is an exclusion criterion.

  • Mirena LNG-IUS
ET + other progestogen
Women receiving estrogen therapy (ET) with recurring prescription fills and evidence of concomitant progestogen use other than Mirena LNG-IUS during the exposure assessment period. Other progestogen therapies include progesterone, synthetic progestins, Liletta LNG-IUS 52 mg, and combination estrogen-progestogen products.
rogestogen therapy used for endometrial protection in women receiving estrogen therapy, including progesterone, synthetic progestins, Liletta LNG-IUS 52 mg, and combination estrogen-progestogen products.

Overall (10-year) incidence of atypical, non-atypical and unspecified endometrial hyperplasia, endometrial cancer, abnormal/unscheduled/heavy menstrual bleeding and hysterectomy
Ramy czasowe: Retrospective analysis from January 2016 to December 2025
Overall incidence of atypical, non-atypical, and unspecified endometrial hyperplasia, endometrial cancer, abnormal/unscheduled/heavy menstrual bleeding, and hysterectomy among patients in each treatment subgroup (ET unopposed, ET + Mirena LNG-IUS, and ET + other progestogen). Overall incidence will be evaluated over the 10-year study period. For each outcome, incident cases are defined as patients with at least one new claim for the condition of interest during follow-up. Only the first occurrence of each outcome after the index date will be counted as an incident event. Outcomes are assessed after completion of the 30- and 90-day exposure assessment periods, and only first incident events during follow-up are counted.
