Active clinical trials for "Leiomyoma"

Hysterectomy for benign indication is one of the most common surgical procedures in women. Numerous reviews and guidelines recommend the vaginal approach for benign hysterectomy, but the proportion of laparoscopic (and robotic) hysterectomies is increasing. This study will compare a range of clinical and subjective outcomes of vaginal vs. total laparoscopic hysterectomy. Outcomes include operating time, postoperative recovery, return to work as well as cosmesis, quality of life and sexual health.

This is a phase III, multicentre, long-term open-label extension of the phase III study: Pearl IIIextension (PGL09-027). During Pearl III (PGL09-026) and subsequent Pearl III extension (PGL09-027), patients have been exposed to a total of 4 cycles of daily 3month open-label treatment with ulipristal acetate 10mg before entering the proposed study Pearl extension 2 (PGL11-024). This proposed study consists of 4 further consecutive courses of 3 months (84 days) open label ulipristal acetate 10mg once daily treatment each separated by a drug free period.

PLUM evaluates the drug letrozole as a treatment for uterine fibroids. This study is a randomized, blinded, placebo-controlled trial of oral letrozole among premenopausal women with symptomatic uterine fibroids. Participants will be randomly assigned in a 1:1 ratio to either oral letrozole 2.5mg/day for 6 months (Group A) or intermittent dosing with letrozole 2.5mg/day and an identical placebo capsule (Group B).

Uterine Leiomyomata, also known as uterine fibroids, are non-cancer tumors found in the wall of the uterus or womb. Uterine fibroids are the common cause of surgery (removal of the uterus). African American women are 3-4 times more likely to have uterine fibroids. Currently there is no effective long-term medical treatment for fibroids. Hormones have been used for short-term therapy, but they are not used long-term because of the risk of side effects. When women stop receiving the hormone therapy often fibroids return. Surgery is the common treatment for women who are suffering from abnormal symptoms caused by fibroids. Hysterectomy is an effective treatment, however women cannot have children after removal of the uterus. Epigallocatechin Gallate (EGCG) is one of the main natural chemicals found in green tea.. Research the investigators have done in the laboratory and in animals leads them to believe EGCG may decrease the growth of fibroids. This study is intended to determine whether EGCG will cause fibroid tumors to shrink and reduce fibroid related symptoms such as abnormal vaginal bleeding and pelvic discomfort.

To investigate the clinical effects of vilaprisan and ulipristal acetate at molecular and cellular level on uterine and fibroid tissue taken from patients (after surgery / biopsy)

The primary objective of this study is to show superiority of vilaprisan in the treatment of heavy menstrual bleeding (HMB) in subjects with uterine fibroids compared to placebo.The secondary objectives of this study are to additionally evaluate the efficacy and safety of vilaprisan in subjects with uterine fibroids.

This study was designed to assess the safety and efficacy of MEDICURTAIN. Patients who underwent total laparoscopic hysterectomy were randomly assigned either into Medicurtain® treatment group or non-treatment control group. Adhesion formations at 8 weeks after the index surgery were compared between the two groups by using the well-defined grade scale and image recording.

The aim of this research work is to assess the effect of using single preoperative dose of rectal misoprostol in abdominal myomectomy operations on blood loss, duration of the operation and possible operative complications

The study objective is to develop data for the safety of pregnancies after thermal ablation of uterine fibroids by MR guided Focused Ultrasound using the Ex Ablate 2000 system.

The purpose of this study is to demonstrate the effectiveness of MR-HIFU for the treatment of uterine fibroids in Northwestern Ontario, which is a rural and remote setting.
