NCT07436793
This phase II trial tests compares the effect of progestins, megestrol acetate to micronized progesterone, in treating patients with endometrial cancer and precancers of the uterus (atypical endometrial hyperplasia) before surgery. Progestins, similar to the natural hormone progesterone, are approved drugs used in birth control and hormone replacement pills, and some can treat uterine endometrial cancers. In the initial comparison of this rotating umbrella trial, megestrol acetate, a progestin, will be compared to micronized progesterone, a form of natural progesterone that is a hormone produced by body normally. Hormone therapy using megestrol acetate and micronized progesterone may be effective in treating patients with endometrial cancer or atypical endometrial hyperplasia before surgery, and understanding the tissue effects of each agent on the malignant endometrium will uncover novel mechanistic and biomarker data to understand how best to advanced hormone therapy for endometrial cancer.
NCT05903131
Up to 60% of endometrial cancer cases are attributed to obesity, in part because obesity promotes development of atypical endometrial hyperplasia (AEH), and up to 40% of women with AEH go on to develop endometrial cancer. The increasing prevalence of obesity in premenopausal women has resulted in increasing rates of AEH in this age group. Hysterectomy with removal of the fallopian tubes and ovaries is 100% effective in preventing endometrial cancer, but this approach results in infertility. Fertility-sparing treatments exist, such as treatment with oral or intrauterine progestin, but these treatments do not work uniformly and do not combat the underlying cause of endometrial cancer, which is obesity and metabolic syndrome. Additionally, up to 41% of women on progestin eventually experience relapse of AEH or endometrial cancer. Third, many patients have insulin resistance that may worsen with progestin therapy. Thus, to improve treatment of AEH and grade 1 endometrial cancer, prevent and reverse endometrial cancer, and allow women to preserve their fertility, the investigators must integrate an effective weight loss strategy to be given with progestin treatment. It is the hypothesis that premenopausal women with AEH desire uterine preservation will be more likely to have atypia-free uterine preservation at one year if they receive progestin in combination with a behavioral weight loss intervention versus progestin plus enhanced usual care.
NCT05829460
The investigators hypothesize that combined treatment with the GLP-1R agonist semaglutide 2.4 mg and levonorgestrel intrauterine device (LNG-IUD), compared to LNG-IUD alone, will result in improved likelihood of uterine preservation, sustained weight loss, improved endometrial and metabolomic response to progestin, and improved quality of life in premenopausal women with endometrial hyperplasia who desire uterine preservation.
NCT03538665
BACKGROUND: Endometrial cancer is a common and deadly cancer for women. It is getting more common and deadly because risk factors like age and obesity are increasing. Also, this cancer is becoming more common and deadly for black women than white women. Researchers want to find better ways to take samples and test them for this cancer. They want to study this for a racially diverse population. One way to take samples might be from a tampon. If identified early, endometrial cancer can be highly curable; however, the earliest stages may be asymptomatic, and clinical symptoms are often missed. Combining sensitive molecular testing approaches with non-invasive sampling techniques may to lead to the development of novel endometrial cancer early detection approaches with the potential to overcome disparities in access to care and time to diagnosis and treatment. In contrast to endometrial cancer, ovarian cancer is typically detected at advanced stages with poor survival since symptoms manifest only late in the disease process and are very unspecific. Racial disparities in ovarian cancer incidence and mortality are also much less pronounced. Racial disparities can manifest particularly when screening, symptom appraisal and early detection, and effective treatment interventions have important roles in determining outcomes of cancers. OBJECTIVES: The purpose of this study is to see if it is possible and acceptable for individuals to have an endometrial or ovarian sample collected by using a tampon placed in the vagina. The investigators will look at DNA in these samples. DNA is the genetic information participants inherited from their parents. The investigators want to see whether the investigators can find changes in DNA and proteins related to endometrial or ovarian cancer from tampon samples. Tests on the samples from tampons will help to understand endometrial and ovarian cancer. The samples collected during this study will be used for research related to both endometrial and ovarian cancer and non-cancer conditions. ELIGIBILITY: Women at least ≥18 years undergoing clinically-indicated hysterectomy and/or bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy for endometrial or ovarian cancer, cancer precursors, or benign conditions. DESIGN: 1. Participants will put a tampon in their vagina at least 30 minutes before their surgery. 2. Participants will take a short survey. 3. The tampon will be collected during the surgery. 4. A small piece of tissue will be collected from the uterus +/- ovary that is removed in surgery. 5. Participants will give a blood sample. 6. Before or after surgery, participants will answer questions. These will be about their medical history and basic data such as age and race. 7. Researchers will follow participants medical records for up to 5 years after the study. Additional blood may be taken from patient if patient agrees. 8. Researchers will study the samples and tampons. They will compare how well cancer and other markers are detected between the samples.
NCT07137299
The goal of this observational study is to evaluate the impact of different hysterectomy (removal of the uterus) techniques on the risk of pelvic organ prolapse (situation when one or more of your pelvic organs like your bladder, uterus, or rectum have dropped down or slipped out of their normal position, sometimes even bulging into the vagina) and urinary incontinence (leaking urine unexpectedly) in women aged 18-85 who underwent hysterectomy or supracervical hysterectomy (removing of the uterus without its cervix) for benign (not cancer) conditions. The main question is: to check how different surgical technique (laparoscopic, with opening the abdomen, vaginal and robotic) increase the risk of pelvic organ prolapse or urinary incontinence There is no randomization or control group; comparisons will be made between surgery types based on clinical and questionnaire data. Participants will: * Receive an invitation to participate if they underwent hysterectomy between 2021-2025. * Fill out validated quality of life questionnaires (P-QOL, POPDI-6, PFIQ-7) every two years. * Attend follow-up clinical pelvic exams every two years to assess vaginal cuff healing, pelvic organ prolapses (POP-Q system), and urinary symptoms. This prospective, non-commercial, multicenter study plans to enroll 2,000 women and will run from July 1, 2025, to July 1, 2036
NCT00788671
This phase II trial studies how well levonorgestrel-releasing intrauterine system works in treating patients with complex atypical hyperplasia or grade I endometrial cancer. High levels of estrogen can cause the growth of endometrial cancer cells. Progesterone can help balance the amount of estrogen present. Hormone therapy using levonorgestrel, a type of progesterone, may fight endometrial cancer by helping regulate hormone levels.

NCT05378152
Postmenopausal bleeding (PMB) is the occurrence of vaginal bleeding 12 months following a woman's last menstrual cycle. PMB represents one of the most common reasons for referral to gynaecology services. Approximately 10% of women with PMB will be found to have endometrial cancer. The gold standard of investigation of PMB is ambulatory gynaecology through the outpatient hysteroscopy clinic, which is often combined with Pipelle biopsy for endometrial sampling. Up to 60% of women that present with PMB will have an atrophic-appearing cavity at hysteroscopy. This provides a challenge in obtaining a histological sample through both dilatation \& curretage (D\&C) and Pipelle biopsy. Often, scant tissue that is insufficient for clinical diagnosis is obtained. Pipelle biopsy is associated with patient discomfort. It is also associated with costs related to the purchasing of equipment and the processing of samples in the laboratory to the sum of approximately 30 euro per sample. It is rare that a sample taken from an atrophic cavity will return any clinically meaningful result. A negative hysteroscopy reduces the probability of endometrial cancer to 0.6%. This study aims to compare patients with PMB and atrophic-appearing cavity that undergo pipelle biopsy to those that do not. Differences in pain scores, cost saving and differences in clinical follow up will be assessed to evaluate the benefit of Pipelle biopsy in patients with PMB and atrophic-appearing cavity.
NCT06378489
Endometrial hyperplasia without atypia is a condition in which the endometrium (the lining of the uterus) becomes abnormally thick. Although endometrial hyperplasia without atypia is not cancer, it can lead to endometrial cancer in 1-3% of women. This disease is treated by giving progestins. The optimal route, dosage and duration of progestin treatment for endometrial hyperplasia has not yet been determined until now. However, several publications have suggested the use of levonorgestrel releasing IUD as first-line treatment for endometrial hyperplasia without atypia. The other common medications used are the oral progestins medroxyprogesterone (MPA) and norethisterone acetate (NETA). The etonogestrel implant (Implant NXT) has been approved for contraceptive use by the US FDA in 2006. The mchanism of action of the implant for contraception suggests a potential application for its use in the treatment on hyperplasia. Off-label use of the implant for adrnomyosis, endometriosis and chronic pelvic pain has already been described in various studies. However, its therapeutic effect on endometrial hyperplasia without atypia has not been studied yet. The researchers propose to use the etonogestrel implant (Implant NXT) as novel treatment for endometrial hyperplasia without atypia. The study aims to determine the rate of regression to normal endometrium among patients with endometrial hyperplasia without atypia at 3 and 6 months after insertion of the implant.

Endometrial carcinoma (EC) is the most prevalent invasive carcinoma of the female genital tract in developed countries, while it ranks as the second most frequently occurring neoplasm of women in developing countries, after carcinoma of the cervix uteri. The vast majority of ECs occur in perimenopausal and postmenopausal women . ECs are classified into two distinct phenotypes; type I which represents more than 80% of all cases of ECs, it has a favorable prognosis. This type is linked to excess, unopposed hyper-estrogenic condition and it is almost always preceded by endometrial hyperplasia. On the contrary, type II endometrial carcinoma is less common than type I, representing less than 10% of all cases of ECs. Type II endometrial carcinomas are high grade, poorly differentiated and estrogen-independent tumors .
