PI is seeking potential sites to participate in a prospective, randomized, non-blinded clinical trial enrolling women ages 45-60, with a BMI >40 to determine the effect of LNG-IUS in reducing the incidence of atypical hyperplasia (EIN) or endometrial cancer in a high-risk population after 6 years.
This study seeks to evaluate an effective and acceptable prevention method for women at high-risk of developing endometrial cancer. The trial is a prospective, randomized, non-blinded clinical trial enrolling women ages 45-60, with a BMI >40. The primary objective of the study is to determine the effect of LNG-IUS in reducing the incidence of atypical hyperplasia (EIN) or endometrial cancer after 6 years. Secondary objectives include an impact analysis of the LNG-IUS on health-related quality of life and its cost-effectiveness, as well as the development of predictive biomarkers using endometrial tissue, blood samples, urine samples and vaginal swabs. A total sample size of 1,600 participants (800 per group) will have 80% statistical power to detect a 50% reduction.
