Study summary

This is a prospective, multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-group clinical trial designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of mazdutide combined with a levonorgestrel-releasing intrauterine system (LNG-IUS) for fertility-sparing treatment in overweight or obese patients with atypical endometrial hyperplasia (AEH) or early-stage endometrioid endometrial cancer. Eligible participants will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio to receive LNG-IUS plus mazdutide or LNG-IUS plus matching placebo. The primary outcome is the complete response rate of endometrial lesions at 24 weeks after randomization.

Read the detailed description

Eligible participants are premenopausal women with a strong desire to preserve fertility, diagnosed with AEH or FIGO grade 1 early-stage endometrioid endometrial cancer confined to the endometrium, and with overweight or obesity. All participants will receive LNG-IUS. Participants will be randomized 1:1 to receive either mazdutide or matching placebo by subcutaneous injection once weekly, using a dose-escalation regimen. Endometrial response will be assessed by hysteroscopic endometrial biopsy and pathology evaluation at prespecified time points. The study will compare pathological response, time to complete response, safety, body weight and metabolic changes, reproductive endocrine parameters, subsequent pregnancy outcomes, recurrence, patient-reported outcomes, and exploratory biomarker changes between the two treatment groups.

Inclusion criteria

  • Female participants aged 18 to 45 years.
  • Participants have a clear desire to preserve fertility, fully understand that fertility-sparing treatment is not the standard radical treatment for endometrial cancer, are willing to accept the potential risks of disease progression or recurrence associated with delayed radical surgery, and are able to comply with close follow-up as required by the protocol.

  • Molecular pathology requirements are fulfilled for participants with endometrial cancer, including exclusion of the p53-abnormal molecular subtype. For participants with POLE-ultramutated or mismatch repair-deficient tumors, suitability for fertility-sparing treatment should be determined based on age, family history, genetic findings, and multidisciplinary assessment. Genetic counseling, germline testing, or additional molecular testing may be performed when clinically indicated.

  • No contraindication to mazdutide.
  • No contraindication to LNG-IUS.
  • Able to understand and sign and willing to comply with all study treatments, assessments, and follow-up procedures.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Pathological diagnosis not consistent with atypical endometrial hyperplasia or eligible early endometrioid endometrial cancer; endometrioid carcinoma grade 2 or higher; or p53-abnormal molecular subtype.
  • Imaging or pathological evidence of myometrial invasion, ovarian , extrauterine disease, or distant .
  • Prior fertility-sparing drug therapy or intrauterine progestin therapy for atypical endometrial hyperplasia or endometrial cancer.
  • Use of hormonal therapy or GLP-1 receptor agonists within 6 months before enrollment.
  • Pregnancy or breastfeeding at enrollment.

  • Known to mazdutide, any of its , or LNG-IUS materials.
  • History of malignancy at another site.
  • Uncontrolled comorbidities or medical history that may increase study risk or interfere with study evaluation, including cardiovascular, cerebrovascular, thromboembolic, hepatic, renal, coagulation, endocrine, psychiatric, pancreatic, biliary, or severe gastrointestinal disorders.
  • Diabetes diagnosed by oral glucose tolerance test.
  • Secondary obesity or endocrine disorders that may affect body weight or metabolic assessment.
  • or major risk factors related to GLP-1 receptor agonist therapy, including pancreatitis, clinically significant gallbladder disease, severe gastrointestinal motility disorder, medullary thyroid carcinoma, or multiple endocrine neoplasia type 2.
  • Participation in another interventional clinical trial.
  • Any condition that, in the investigator's opinion, may increase risk during study treatment, interfere with safety assessment, or affect interpretation of study results.
Terms in these criteria, in plain language(9)

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.

Histologically or cytologically confirmed

The diagnosis was confirmed by looking at a sample under a microscope: tissue from a biopsy or surgery (histology), or cells from a fluid or needle sample (cytology).

Your pathology report is the document that shows this.

Metastases

Cancer that has spread from where it began to other parts of the body. “Metastatic” cancer is cancer that has spread this way.

Contraindication

A reason a treatment, test or procedure should not be given to a particular person, such as an allergy, another illness or a medicine they take.

BMI (body mass index)

Weight in kilograms divided by height in metres squared. Example: 70 kg and 1.75 m gives 70 ÷ (1.75 × 1.75) ≈ 22.9.

What counts as overweight or obesity differs between countries (some use lower cut-offs), so go by the range the study states.

Informed consent

Before you join, the study team explains what taking part involves — its purpose, what happens, the risks and possible benefits — and answers your questions, so you can decide freely. Consent is usually recorded on a form (the informed consent form, ICF) signed by you or, where the law allows, by someone legally authorised to decide for you.

You can keep asking questions during the study, you are told of new information that matters, and you can choose to leave at any time.

Cancer (malignancy)

Malignancy means cancer. Criteria about another or earlier malignancy ask whether you have had a different cancer, usually within a set number of years.

Some are commonly allowed, such as treated skin cancers other than melanoma and early cancers removed completely — check the exceptions this study lists.

Hypersensitivity

An allergy, or another reaction of the immune system, to a substance. “Hypersensitivity to the study drug” means a known allergic reaction to it — not every side effect a medicine can have.

Excipients

The other ingredients in a medicine besides the active drug, such as fillers, colours or preservatives.

Clinically significant

Judged by the study doctor to matter for your health or for the study. It is a doctor’s decision, so ask the study team if you are unsure whether something counts.

Start is estimated for Nov 2026; primary completion for Jun 2029, 31 months later.

Of 132 non-industry phase 2 interventional studies under Obesity, half reached primary completion within 35 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 15 and three quarters within 57. This study's planned 31 months is below that.

Counting every sponsor, half of 308 studies reached it within 16 months; a quarter within 10 and three quarters within 35.

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on Aug 24, 2026, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
