A Study to Estimate Early Clinical Efficacy Signals of GLP-1 Agonist Administration in Conjunction With Levonorgestrel Intrauterine Device in Obese Patients With Endometrioid Intraepithelial Neoplasia
Sponsor: University of Florida
Summary
This study will explore the use of glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor agonist (GLP-1RA) used concurrently with levonorgestrel intrauterine device in patients with poor surgical candidacy for a hysterectomy or patients who are pursuing fertility sparing. GLP-1RA are a class of medications that mimic the natural hormone glucagon-like peptide-1. These medications trigger the pancreas to release insulin which can help lower blood sugar levels and delay gastric emptying. The recent FDA approval of GLP-1RAs has changed the landscape for pharmacotherapy for weight loss. These hormone-based obesity medications are novel and revolutionary in obesity medicine. Liraglutine, semaglutide, and tirzepatide have become exceedingly popular for their effects on weight loss and obesity-related comorbidities. More recently, GLP-1RAs have exhibited risk reduction of various obesity associated cancers, including endometrial cancer but their exact role in prevention and treatment has yet to be measured.

Interventions
Glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor agonist
Subjects will receive a glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor agonist (either semaglutide, tirzepatide or liraglutide) by self-injection or orally (for semaglutide only) for as clinically indicated by the treating physician or until the subject receives clearance for staging hysterectomy or for pregnancy pursuit. The choice of glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor agonist for each subject will be at the treating physician's discretion. Subjects will discontinue the glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor agonist 2 weeks before any elective surgical procedure.
