Clinical Trials Emma Barber is currently running
Ipatasertib + Megestrol Acetate
for Endometrial Cancer
This trial is testing if combining two drugs, ipatasertib and megestrol acetate, is more effective than using megestrol acetate alone for treating women with endometrial cancer that has returned or spread. Ipatasertib blocks enzymes needed for cancer cell growth, while megestrol acetate reduces and blocks estrogen, which some cancer cells need to grow.
Recruiting1 award Phase 1 & 2
Megestrol + Metformin
for Endometrial Cancer Prevention
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.
