NCT00788671

Brief Summary

This phase II trial studies how well levonorgestrel-releasing intrauterine system works in treating patients with complex atypical hyperplasia or grade I endometrial cancer. High levels of estrogen can cause the growth of endometrial cancer cells. Progesterone can help balance the amount of estrogen present. Hormone therapy using levonorgestrel, a type of progesterone, may fight endometrial cancer by helping regulate hormone levels.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

  • Response Rate at 12 Month

    Will be defined as complete response or partial response based on the endometrial biopsy.

    At 1 year

  • Efficacy of the Levonorgestrel Intrauterine Device (IUD)

    To determine the efficacy of the Levonorgestrel Intrauterine Device (IUD) to treat complex atypical hyperplasia (CAH) and grade 1 endometrioid endometrial carcinoma (G1 EEC), defined as complete regression disease. The primary efficacy endpoint was pathologic response rate (RR) at 12 months defined as complete response (CR) or partial response (PR). CR was defined as no evidence of cancer or hyperplasia with atypia in patients with (CAH) or EEC. PR was defined as CAH in patients with EEC. Progressive disease (PD) was defined as grade 2 endometrioid endometrial cancer or above in patients with EEC or the presence of any cancer in patients with CAH.

    At 1 year
