Sponsor: Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center
Overall Status: Active - Recruiting

Phase

1

Condition

Weight Loss

Pelvic Cancer

Endometrial Cancer

Treatment

Tirzepatide

Clinical Study ID

NCT06751589
24-331
  • Ages > 18
  • Female

Study Summary

The researchers are doing this study is to find out whether tirzepatide and semaglutide are practical (feasible) for weight management and blood sugar control for endometrial cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy. The researchers will also look at participants' experience with the study drug, the safety of taking the study drug while receiving chemotherapy, and changes in weight, body fat composition, and blood pressure of participants.

  • Patients with new diagnosis of stage I-III endometrial cancer

  • Completed surgery with TH/BSO with no gross residual disease

  • Recommended to undergo curative intent adjuvant chemotherapy at MSK with carboplatinand paclitaxel with or without intravaginal radiation OR cisplatin and concurrentradiation followed by carboplatin and paclitaxel. Patients may consent prior to andup to 3 weeks after the first cycle of chemotherapy.

  • Patients with the following histologic epithelial cell types are eligible:endometrioid adenocarcinoma, serous adenocarcinoma, carcinosarcoma, undifferentiatedcarcinoma/de-differentiated, clear cell adenocarcinoma, mixed epithelial carcinoma,adenocarcinoma not otherwise specified (N.O.S.), and mucinous adenocarcinoma.

  • Patient has adequate organ function, as defined by the following laboratory values:

  1. Creatinine clearance (per Cockcroft-Gault formula) ≥30 mL/min

  2. Alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) ≤3.0 × ULN.

  3. Total serum bilirubin ≤ 1.5 × ULN except for patients with Gilbert's syndromewho may be included if the total serum bilirubin is ≤3.0 × ULN or directbilirubin ≤ 1.5 × ULN.

  • Insurance approval for tirzepatide or semaglutide (alternative) or willingness topay out-of-pocket for tirzepatide or semaglutide (alternative) for duration of studyperiod

  • Patients must be capable and willing to learn how to self-inject study drug, asrequired for this protocol (visually impaired persons who are not able to performthe injections must have the assistance of a sighted individual trained to injectstudy drug; persons with physical limitations who are not able to perform theinjections must have the assistance of an individual trained to inject study drug)and administer study drug injection (or receive an injection from a trainedindividual if visually impaired or with physical limitations)

  • Not pregnant and not nursing

  • English speaking or a family member or caregiver who speaks English and is able toassist with smart phone or tablet based Keenoa app or paper dietary recall handout (if no access to smart phone or tablet).

  • Personal or family history of Medullary Thyroid Carcinoma with Multiple EndocrineNeoplasia-2 syndrome

  • Patients with a prior surgical, endoscopic, and/or device-based therapy (forexample, mucosal ablation, gastric artery embolization, intragastric balloon andduodenojejunal bypass sleeve) for obesity within the past two years

  • Patients with removal of device-based therapy for obesity within the last 6 months

  • Current GIP/GLP-1 or GLP-1 receptor agonist use or prior intolerance of GIP/GLP-1 orGLP-1 receptor agonist

  • Patients with a prior or concurrent malignancy whose natural history or treatmentdoes not have the potential to interfere with the safety or efficacy assessment ofthe investigational regimen are eligible for this trial.

  • Known intolerance to study drug(s) or any of the excipients.
