Summary

Purpose: This is an open label, single-arm, single-center study of the addition of metformin to standard levonorgestrel-releasing intrauterine device (LR-IUD) treatment of 30 evaluable non-surgical patients with either complex atypical hyperplasia (CAH; n=15) or grade 1 endometrial adenocarcinoma (EC; n=15). Participants:Women, over the age of 18 years, with biopsy-proven CAH/EC who are not candidates for surgical management, and therefore are planned to start standard of care treatment with the LR-IUD Procedures (methods): subjects will be given oral metformin therapy for 12 months, or until disease progression occurs (whichever occurs first), in addition to LR-IUD treatment. Serial endometrial biopsies will be performed, as per standard of care, to assess disease status.
