About this study

Official title: Levonorgestrel Containing Intrauterine Device in the Treatment of Endometrial Hyperplasia Without Atypia

The purpose of this research is to determine the effectiveness of the intrauterine device (IUD) called Mirena when compared to the Provera tablets used in treating this condition.

Read the detailed description

Endometrial hyperplasia without atypia is a condition usually caused by excessive stimulation of the uterine lining (endometrium) by estrogens, and may cause irregular bleeding as a presenting symptom, but rarely may progress to endometrial cancer, which makes treatment important. The only treatment approved so far is medroxyprogesterone acetate tablets (progesterone), also known as Provera.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing Intrauterine Device in people with Endometrial Hyperplasia, run by Milton S. Hershey Medical Center.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 2 inclusion and 3 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: withdrawn, as of the sponsor's last update on 8 Jan 2013. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this combined phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study was withdrawn before enrolling participants, so there are no results.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Pathologic examination of the specimens obtained by endometrial biopsy to determine the regression of endometrial hyperplasia without atypia compared to Provera (time frame: 90 days). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 8 Jan 2013.
