Columbus, Ohio
Researchers are looking for a better way to treat women with nonatypical endometrial hyperplasia (NAEH).
Endometrial hyperplasia is a condition where the lining of the uterus (called the endometrium) becomes too thick. Nonatypical means that the condition is not cancerous. It is often caused by hormone imbalances in women. Symptoms can include abnormal vaginal bleeding or irregular periods. If this condition is not treated, then it may lead to cancer.
Currently, oral progestins (OP) which are progesterone (female hormone) capsules taken by mouth, are used to treat NAEH. However, there is still a need for other treatments due to unmet needs.
The study treatment, Mirena (also known as BAY 865028), is already available as a type of birth control device. It is inserted into the uterus where it gradually releases progesterone.
In this study, researchers want to find out if Mirena works for women with NAEH. They believe it can help by keeping hormone levels balanced in the body.
The main purpose of this study is to learn how well Mirena works compared to oral in NAEH in women who have started their periods.
For this, the researchers will compare the number of participants with benign endometrium after 6 months of treatment with Mirena or oral progestins.
The study participants will be randomly divided equally into one of two treatment groups. Based on their group, participants will receive Mirena, which is inserted into the uterus at the start of the study, or they will take progestins once daily by mouth for 6 months.
Each participant will be in the study for around 10 months with up to 5 visits to the study clinic/site.
Participants will visit the study clinic:
* once before the treatment starts
* 3 times with a gap of 3 months between the visits during the treatment
* then 1 more time after the treatment ends
During the study, the doctors and their study team will:
* check participant's health by performing tests such as blood and urine tests
* perform vaginal ultrasound and hysteroscopy. Hysteroscopy is a minor surgical procedure where a thin camera will be inserted into the womb to check for any abnormality. Sampling of the endometrial lining (cells in the womb) will be done with a thin tube at the same time.
* take samples of womb (endometrial) lining
* ask the participants questions about how they are feeling and what adverse events they are having
An adverse event is any medical problem that a participant has during a study. Doctors keep track of all adverse events, irrespective if they think it is related or not to the study treatment.

Behavioral Weight Loss + Progestin for Endometrial Hyperplasia
Saint Louis, Missouri
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.

Drug + IUD & Weight Intervention for Hyperplasia
Saint Louis, Missouri
This trial tests if using semaglutide and an LNG-IUD together can help premenopausal women with thickened uterine linings keep their uterus, lose weight, and improve their quality of life. The levonorgestrel intrauterine device (LNG-IUD) has been used effectively for various conditions including thickened uterine linings, heavy menstrual bleeding, and as part of hormone replacement therapy.

Why Other Patients Applied
"As a healthy volunteer, I like to participate in as many trials as I'm able to. It's a good way to help research and earn money."

"My orthopedist recommended a half replacement of my right knee. I have had both hips replaced. Currently have arthritis in knee, shoulder, and thumb. I want to avoid surgery, and I'm open-minded about trying a trial before using surgery as a last resort."

"I changed my diet in 2020 and I’ve lost 95 pounds from my highest weight (283). I am 5’3”, female, and now 188. I still have a 33 BMI. I've been doing research on alternative approaches to continue my progress, which brought me here to consider clinical trials."

"I have dealt with voice and vocal fold issues related to paralysis for over 12 years. This problem has negatively impacted virtually every facet of my life. I am an otherwise healthy 48 year old married father of 3 living. My youngest daughter is 12 and has never heard my real voice. I am now having breathing issues related to the paralysis as well as trouble swallowing some liquids. In my research I have seen some recent trials focused on helping people like me."

Frequently Asked Questions
How much do clinical trials pay?
Each trial will compensate patients a different amount, but $50-100 for each visit is a fairly common range for Phase 2–4 trials (Phase 1 trials often pay substantially more). Further, most trials will cover the costs of a travel to-and-from the clinic.How do clinical trials work?
After a researcher reviews your profile, they may choose to invite you in to a screening appointment, where they'll determine if you meet 100% of the eligibility requirements. If you do, you'll be sorted into one of the treatment groups, and receive your study drug. For some trials, there is a chance you'll receive a placebo. Across trials 30% of clinical trials have a placebo. Typically, you'll be required to check-in with the clinic every month or so. The average trial length is 12 months.How do I participate in a study as a "healthy volunteer"?
Not all studies recruit healthy volunteers: usually, Phase 1 studies do. Participating as a healthy volunteer means you will go to a research facility several times over a few days or weeks to receive a dose of either the test treatment or a "placebo," which is a harmless substance that helps researchers compare results. You will have routine tests during these visits, and you'll be compensated for your time and travel, with the number of appointments and details varying by study.What does the "phase" of a clinical trial mean?
The phase of a trial reveals what stage the drug is in to get approval for a specific condition. Phase 1 trials are the trials to collect safety data in humans. Phase 2 trials are those where the drug has some data showing safety in humans, but where further human data is needed on drug effectiveness. Phase 3 trials are in the final step before approval. The drug already has data showing both safety and effectiveness. As a general rule, Phase 3 trials are more promising than Phase 2, and Phase 2 trials are more promising than phase 1.Do I need to be insured to participate in a medical study ?
Clinical trials are almost always free to participants, and so do not require insurance. The only exception here are trials focused on cancer, because only a small part of the typical treatment plan is actually experimental. For these cancer trials, participants typically need insurance to cover all the non-experimental components.What are the newest clinical trials ?
Most recently, we added Mirena for Endometrial Hyperplasia, Drug + IUD & Weight Intervention for Hyperplasia and Behavioral Weight Loss + Progestin for Endometrial Hyperplasia to the Power online platform.Popular Searches
