Interventions
- Semaglutide (Wegovy) weekly injection — DRUGSemaglutide 2.4 mg administered subcutaneously once weekly, following standard dose-escalation protocol, for the duration of the 6-month active treatment period. Used off-label in this trial for its metabolic effects in combination with LNG-IUD, rather than as monotherapy for weight loss.
- LNG-IUD (Progestin) — DEVICELevonorgestrel-releasing intrauterine device inserted at study baseline and maintained through the active treatment and follow-up periods, providing continuous local progestin delivery to the endometrium in combination with systemic semaglutide.
- Structured Weight Loss Program — BEHAVIORALA structured, protocol-defined weight loss program combining dietary counseling and physical activity guidance, delivered concurrently with pharmacologic and device-based treatment to support metabolic response, distinct from weight loss achieved through semaglutide alone.
Study Details
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if a combination treatment of a hormonal intrauterine device (LNG-IUD), semaglutide, and a structured weight loss program can treat endometrial atypical hyperplasia or grade 1 endometrioid endometrial cancer while preserving fertility in women of reproductive age with endometrial atypical hyperplasia (EAH) or FIGO grade 1 endometrioid endometrial cancer who wish to preserve their fertility. The main questions it aims to answer are: * What proportion of participants achieve a complete pathological response after treatment? * How durable is the response at 12 months? * What effect does the treatment have on metabolic outcomes (weight, BMI, HbA1c) and quality of life? Participants will: * Receive an LNG-IUD * Receive semaglutide 2.4mg * Participate in a structured weight loss program * Undergo hysteroscopy with endometrial sampling to assess treatment response * Complete quality-of-life assessments at baseline, 6 months, and 12 months

Arms
- Experimental: Combination Fertility-Sparing TreatmentParticipants will receive a three-component combination intervention consisting of: (1) a levonorgestrel-releasing intrauterine device (LNG-IUD), inserted at baseline; (2) semaglutide 2.4 mg, administered per standard dosing schedule; and (3) a structured weight loss program. Participants will undergo hysteroscopy with endometrial sampling to assess pathological response. Treatment will be administered for 6 months of active intervention, followed by a 6-month follow-up period.
