Active clinical trials for "Leiomyoma"

The objective of this study is to determine the long-term safety of asoprisnil in women with symptomatic uterine fibroids who completed the 6 month Study C02-037.

Uterine leiomyomata (fibroids) are a common benign tumor of the uterine muscle in premenopausal women. These tumors may cause bleeding, pelvic pain and pressure. Because fibroids grow in the presence of estrogen, medical therapies that decrease estrogen levels (like GnRH analog) cause fibroids to shrink and so may relieve symptoms. However, such medication can only be given short-term and has inconvenient side effects such as hot-flushes. Thus, many women with symptomatic fibroids choose to have them removed surgically, either individually or by removing the uterus via hysterectomy. The study evaluates a new medical treatment for fibroids using the progesterone receptor modulator CDB-2914. A similar compound, mifepristone (Registered Trademark), reduced fibroid size when given for twelve weeks. This study will compare fibroid size, hormone levels and symptoms before and during daily administration of CDB-2914 (10 or 25 mg) or placebo for 10 - 14 weeks. To do this, women will undergo MRI and a saline hysterosonogram (ultrasound with fluid) of the uterus before and at the end of the treatment; they will have blood drawn every 7 - 14 days, and will fill out a symptom calendar at home. Hysterectomy will be performed at the end of the treatment to evaluate the effects of the medication on the uterine and fibroid tissues, and to provide treatment for the study participant. Women will be randomly assigned to the treatment groups; during the treatment period neither the participants nor the investigators will know the type of treatment that a woman receives. ...

Polyps, intracavitary myomas and retained products of conception (RPOC) are common benign intracavitary lesions of the uterus and frequently cause abnormal uterine bleeding or pain. In general, intracavitary lesions are treated by operative hysteroscopy with bipolar resectoscopic removal under general anaesthesia, performed in the theatre (OR). Potential problems with this approach are thermal damage and impairment of visibility due to loose tissue fragments necessitating multiple entries for tissue removal. Recently, lesion morcellation by hysteroscopy has been introduced as an alternative technique. Compared to the resectoscopic approach, morcellation is reportedly associated with a shorter total procedure time, smaller fluid deficit and number of insertions. A few trials also registered a higher success rate in completeness of resection. No significant differences in odds of surgical complications have been reported. Most hysteroscopic morcellators have diameters up to 8 mm, for which cervical dilation under general anaesthesia is usually needed. Recently, companies have developed hysteroscopic morcellators with smaller diameters, e.g. 6.3 mm for the 19 Fr. intrauterine BIGATTI Shaver (IBS®). This means less need for cervical dilation, and potential use without anesthesia. At this moment, there are no prospective studies available on feasibility of the 19 Fr. intrauterine BIGATTI Shaver (IBS®). Before implementing hysteroscopic morcellation in our department, we need a feasibility study assessing the method in standard conditions in the operation room or in ambulatory setting under sedation. Trial objectives: Assessment of the feasibility of hysteroscopic morcellation of benign uterine intracavitary lesions. The primary objective is to assess the completeness of hysteroscopic resection in patients undergoing the procedure under general anesthesia or sedation. Secondary objectives are to assess perioperative parameters as operation time, need for cervical dilation, adverse events, pain, operator satisfaction; to assess quality of tissue for histological examination; to assess postoperative complications and pain.

Evaluation of diagnostic accuracy of ultrasound in uterine fibroid characterization compared with MRI using FIGO classification

This research is being done to test new MRI methods called Magnetic Resonance Fingerprinting and Q-space Trajectory Imaging in gynecological abnormalities. The purpose of this research study is to evaluate if these new MRI methods can give additional information in characterizing gynecological tumors compared with conventional MRI.

The main objective of this study is to assess safety and efficacy of elagolix compared to placebo in reducing heavy menstrual bleeding (HMB) associated with uterine fibroids in premenopausal women. The primary hypothesis is that elagolix, compared to placebo, reduces HMB associated with uterine fibroids in premenopausal women.

The purpose of this first multi-dose study in cancer patients is to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) or recommended phase II dose (RP2D), characterize the safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics profile. Once the MTD has been established and/or a RP2D chosen, the study will enroll patients into the expansion portion of the study.

Phase III, multicentre, randomized, double-blind, parallel group, long-term study investigating the efficacy and safety of the 5mg and 10mg doses of PGL4001 for the treatment of uterine myoma.

The study is performed to assess the efficacy and safety of different doses of BAY1002670 in subjects with uterine fibroids. The dose-response relationship will be evaluated. Further, the study aims to establish a population pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic relationship for BAY1002670 in subjects with uterine fibroids. To assess the efficacy of BAY1002670 the interchangeability of menstrual pictogram and alkaline hematin method for the judgement of menstrual blood loss will be assessed.

On the basis of empirical evidence and clinical practice, the investigators have developed a formula called Tumor-shrinking Decoction (TSD) used in the treatment of uterine fibroids (UFs). The investigators preliminary clinical observation has demonstrated the benefits of TSD in improving UFs. TSD is composed of 15 individual Chinese medicines: Astragalus Membranaceus, Semen Coicis, Poria, Curcuma longa L, and Fritillaria Thunbergii Miq, Cassia twig, Pollen typhae, Resina draconis, Lithospermum erythrorhizon, Halloysitum Rubrum, Rhizoma Corydalis processed with vinegar, Hirudo, Calcined corrugated sub , Oyster Shell and Laminaria Japonica Aresch. It is hypothesized that TSD can effectively reduce the fibroid size and improve the symptoms associated with UFs and the greater anti-tumor potency of TSD is associated with higher therapeutic doses. To test this hypothesis, one 16-week, double-blind, randomized, two-dose trial will be conducted in patients with symptomatic UFs to determine whether the high dose (217 g/day) of TSD could produce significantly greater effects in reducing the fibroid size and improving its related symptoms and biochemical profiles compared to the lower dose (69 g/day).
