Bayer AG is conducting a study titled ‘A Multi-center, Open Label, Randomized Parallel Group Study Evaluating the Proportion of Post-menarchal Women With Complete Resolution of Nonatypical Endometrial Hyperplasia Treated With Mirena or Oral Progestin for 6 Months.’ The study aims to assess the effectiveness of Mirena, an intrauterine device, compared to oral progestins in treating nonatypical endometrial hyperplasia (NAEH) in women. This condition involves the thickening of the uterine lining and, if untreated, may lead to cancer. The study’s significance lies in potentially offering a more effective treatment option for NAEH, addressing unmet medical needs.
The interventions being tested are Mirena, a combination product inserted into the uterus, and oral progestins, specifically Medroxyprogesterone acetate, taken as a daily tablet. Mirena is already used as a birth control device and is being evaluated for its ability to balance hormone levels in women with NAEH.
The study is designed as an interventional, randomized, parallel-group trial with no masking. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive either Mirena or oral progestins for six months, with the primary purpose of treatment. The study will involve up to five clinic visits over approximately ten months, including health checks and sampling of the endometrial lining.
The study is set to begin on September 5, 2025, with an estimated completion date yet to be determined. The primary completion date will be crucial for assessing the study’s outcomes, while the last update was submitted on July 14, 2025, indicating ongoing preparations.
For investors, Bayer’s study could impact its stock performance by potentially expanding the use of Mirena beyond birth control, offering a new revenue stream. This development may also influence investor sentiment positively, given the unmet needs in treating NAEH. Competitors in the women’s health sector may need to consider similar innovations to maintain market share.
The study is ongoing, with further details available on the ClinicalTrials portal.
