Official title

Surgical Window of Opportunity Study of Megestrol Acetate Compared With Megestrol Acetate and Metformin for Endometrial Intraepithelial Neoplasia

Brief summary

Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.

This phase II trial studies the effect of megestrol acetate alone or in combination with metformin in preventing the progression of uterine pre-cancer (endometrial intraepithelial neoplasia) to endometrial cancer. Megestrol acetate is a drug used to block estrogen and suppress the effects of estrogen and androgens. It is the current non-surgical treatment of endometrial intraepithelial neoplasia. Metformin is a drug that has been found to have anti-cancer properties. Giving metformin and megestrol acetate together may decrease the growth of endometrial intraepithelial neoplasia in the uterus better than megestrol alone.
