About this trial

This is an interventional treatment trial for Uterine Fibroids

Eligibility Criteria

30 Years - 50 Years (Adult)FemaleDoes not accept healthy volunteers

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Subject is able to provide informed consent and must sign the Institutional Review Board approved Informed Consent Form.
  • Pre-menopausal women age 30-50 years at time of enrollment
  • Have been selected forUterine Fibroid Embolization (UFE) prior to entry to the study.

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Patient has a history of pelvic malignancy
  • Patient has an abnormal Pap smear within 12 months of the planned Uterine Fibroid Embolization procedure
  • Patient with coexisting condition that might explain abnormal bleeding (including endometrial hyperplasia and adenomyosis) or pelvic pain (including endometriosis and ovarian cysts).
  • Is at substantial risk for the need of organ transplantation, such as renal insufficiency.
  • Patient has evidence of current or recent pelvic inflammatory disease or uterine infection.
  • Patient with a severe contrast allergy or renal insufficiency that would represent a contradiction to the administration of iodine-based contrast agents.
  • Patients unable to comply with the follow-up requirements of the study.

Arm Type

Experimental

Active Comparator

Arm Label

Embozene® Microspheres

Embosphere®

Arm Description

Uterine Fibroid Embolization (UFE)will be used to treat the fibroids. The procedure involves injecting embolizing particles into the uterine artery which causes the fibroid to shrink.

Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Endpoint
The primary effectiveness endpoint for this clinical trial is the proportion of subjects who have success, defined as 50% menstrual blood loss (MBL) reduction or less than 80 ml of MBL per cycle, evaluated by the Alkaline Hematin (AH) method, at 12 months.
