Mirena® ± Metformin as Fertility-preserving Treatment for Young Asian Women With Early Endometrial Cancer

Study Overview
=================
Brief Summary
-----------------
Primary objective To discover the efficacies of levonorgestrel-containing intrauterine device (LNG-IUS, Mirena®), with or without metformin, as fertility-preserving treatment for grade 1 endometrioid adenocarcinoma of endometrium, cT1aN0M0 with presumed no myometrial invasion on image study (MRI preferred). Secondary objectives To discover the morphological and molecular change in the endometrium tumor before and after treatment To discover the effectiveness of adding oral progestin to subjects who show no good response to assigned To compare (1) the systemic effects, including body weight change, neuropsychiatric alternation, GI disturbance, skin disorder, change in serum metabolic and hepatic markers between the two study patient groups; (2) The rate of long-term success defined as (a) sustained remission of >= 12 months starts from the histologic documentation of complete remission (b) rate of pregnancy and (c) alive baby delivery, based on time-to-event analysis. Molecular markers and their expression before, during and after treatment, including progesterone B receptor, progesterone A receptor, estrogen receptor, Ki67, PTEN and its related markers, Bcl2 and its related markers and other developing markers. This is to discover prediction markers to medical treatment.

Arms and Interventions

| Participant Group/Arm | Intervention/Treatment |
| --- | --- |
| Experimental: Mirena® + metformin<br>The enrolled patient is allocated to either LNG-IUS only or LNG-IUS + metformin by central randomization with study site allocation. A 90-100 days of continuous treatment before first histologic assessment of treatment response is required. The patient will receive endometrial curettage or hysteroscopic evaluation and resection of suspected lesion after 90-100 days of treatment. Patients with good response to assigned treatment will continue the treatment for another 90-100 days and second histologic assessment will be performed. Patients with poor response to assigned treatment at first assessment will receive additive oral progestin therapy, along with the assigned regimen(s) as, Oral progestin, either medroxyprogesterone acetate 500 mg daily or oral megestrol acetate 160 mg daily After a total of at least 6 months treatment period, the patient with good response at first assessment is suggested to keep the Mirena for maintenance until plan to get pregnant | Drug: Metformin<br>* The enrolled patient is allocated to either LNG-IUS only or LNG-IUS + metformin by central randomization with study site allocation.
