Scientific titlePROgesterone Therapy for Endometrial Cancer prevention in obese women: an interventional trial
Study acronymPROTEC1
Study objectives1. To evaluate the efficacy of the Mirena IUS for endometrial protection; including histological impact and the expression of biomarkers of proliferation, apoptosis and other pathways associated with increased risk of endometrial cancer
2. To determine the feasibility, safety and acceptability of using the Mirena IUS for endometrial protection
3. To determine the effect of Mirena IUS insertion on systemic endocrine function and mental and physical wellbeing
Ethics approval(s)15/EE/0063
Health condition(s) or problem(s) studiedTopic: Cancer, Metabolic and endocrine disorders; Subtopic: Gynaecological Cancer, Metabolic and Endocrine (all Subtopics); Disease: Uterus/Endometrium, Metabolic & Endocrine (not diabetes)
