Status: Recruiting
Location: See all (7) locations...
Intervention Type: Drug
Study Type: Interventional
Study Phase: Early Phase 1
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.

Minimum Age: 18
Healthy Volunteers: f
View:

• Age ≥ 18 years

• Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of ≤ 2

• Obesity (defined as BMI ≥ 30 kg/m2) OR Overweight (defined as BMI ≥ 27 kg/m2) with presence of ≥1 weight related comorbid condition OR a diagnosis of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus with BMI ≥ 25 kg/m2

• Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus is defined as known history of Type 2 diabetes, HbA1c ≥ 6.5%, fasting blood glucose ≥126 mg/dL on 2 occasions, or random blood glucose ≥ 200 mg/dL with signs and symptoms of diabetes mellitus (weight loss, fatigue, polyuria, polydipsia, vision changes)

• 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 carboplatin and paclitaxel with or without intravaginal radiation OR cisplatin and concurrent radiation followed by carboplatin and paclitaxel. Patients may consent prior to and up to 3 weeks after the first cycle of chemotherapy.

• Patients with the following histologic epithelial cell types are eligible: endometrioid adenocarcinoma, serous adenocarcinoma, carcinosarcoma, undifferentiated carcinoma/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:

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

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

⁃ Total serum bilirubin ≤ 1.5 × ULN except for patients with Gilbert's syndrome who may be included if the total serum bilirubin is ≤3.0 × ULN or direct bilirubin ≤ 1.5 × ULN.

• Insurance approval for tirzepatide or semaglutide (alternative) or willingness to pay out-of-pocket for tirzepatide or semaglutide (alternative) for duration of study period

• Patients must be capable and willing to learn how to self-inject study drug, as required for this protocol (visually impaired persons who are not able to perform the injections must have the assistance of a sighted individual trained to inject study drug; persons with physical limitations who are not able to perform the injections must have the assistance of an individual trained to inject study drug) and administer study drug injection (or receive an injection from a trained individual 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 to assist with smart phone or tablet based Keenoa app or paper dietary recall handout (if no access to smart phone or tablet).

Participants
Target number of participants: 36
Treatments
Experimental: tirzepatide
Patients will meet with the study endocrinologist during screening and be prescribed SC tirzepatide 2.5 mg administered using a pre-filled injector once weekly for 4 weeks and then increase to 5 mg once weekly. If insurance does not cover tirzepatide, the GLP-1 agonist semaglutide (Wegovy, Ozempic) initiated at 0.25 mg weekly SC may be substituted if deemed appropriate by the study PI.
