Key inclusion criteria

  • Women who have a pathologic diagnosis of AH/EIN or grade 1 endometrioid endometrial cancer confirmed on dilation and curettage (D\&C) and desire non-surgical management, who are overweight (body mass index \[BMI\] ≥ 27 kg/m\^2) with a weight-related comorbidity (hypertension, type 2 diabetes, or high cholesterol) or obese (BMI ≥ 30 kg/m\^2) with or without weight-related comorbidities
  • Prior progesterone treatment for conditions other than AH/EIN or endometrial cancer is allowed, but a 28-day washout period is required before levonorgestrel IUD placement. If archival tissue is available from prior to any progesterone treatment but after the diagnosis of AH/EIN/EC, the washout period is not needed
  • Age ≥ 18 years. Because no dosing or adverse event (AE) data are currently available on the use of tirzepatide in participants \< 18 years of age, children and adolescents \< 18 years of age are excluded from this study but will be eligible for future pediatric trials, if applicable
  • Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status ≤ 2 (Karnofsky ≥ 60%)
  • Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-infected participants on effective anti-retroviral therapy with undetectable viral load within 6 months are eligible for this trial

Key exclusion criteria

  • Women with grade 2-3 endometrioid, or women with serous, clear cell, mucinous, squamous, transitional cell, sarcomas, or carcinosarcoma histology
  • Evidence of extrauterine spread of disease on imaging or during surgical evaluation
  • Participants may not be receiving any other investigational agents or anticancer therapies (including chemotherapy, radiation therapy, hormonal, or antibody-based therapy). Prior treatment should have a minimum washout period of 14 days
  • History of allergic reactions attributed to compounds of similar chemical or biologic composition to the levonorgestrel IUD or any GLP-1 agonist
  • Uncontrolled intercurrent illness, or psychiatric illness/social situations that would limit compliance with study requirements
