Endometrial cancer is one of the most common gynecologic malignancies in the United States, with an increasing incidence rate. Obesity has been identified as a major risk factor for endometrial carcinogenesis and is prevalent among patients with endometrial intraepithelial neoplasia (EIN) and early-stage endometrial cancer. Tirzepatide, a dual glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide/glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist (GIP/GLP-1 RA), can cause meaningful weight loss and improvement in metabolic parameters. Levonorgestrel intrauterine device (LNG-IUD) therapy is a standard hormonal treatment for local EIN and grade 1 endometrioid endometrial carcinoma. This single-arm, single-center investigator-initiated study will evaluate the feasibility, safety, and preliminary efficacy of combining tirzepatide with standard LNG-IUD treatment in patients with EIN or grade 1 endometrioid endometrial carcinoma with co-existing obesity and metabolic risk factors. Eligible participants will be enrolled after initial histological confirmation of either EIN or grade 1 endometrioid endometrial carcinoma. Clinical management will remain at the discretion of the treating physician.
