Active clinical trials for "Leiomyoma"

The purpose of this study is to determine whether ulipristal acetate is effective in the treatment of females with anemia associated with uterine leiomyomas. The safety of this product will also be evaluated.

The purpose of this study is to determine whether ablation of uterine fibroids with MR guided focused ultrasound following 3 months pre-treatment with Gonadotrophin releasing analogues will allow the effective use of this therapy in women with larger fibroids.

Submucous myomas represent one of the main indications of operative hysteroscopy. Since 1976 when Neuwirth and Amin reported the first five cases of excision of submucous myomas , several techniques have been developed in order to render hysteroscopic myomectomy a safe and effective procedure . Hysteroscopic myomectomy is currently considered the "gold standard" minimally invasive approach for the treatment of symptomatic submucous myomas . Patients undergoing hysteroscopic myomectomy are liable to significant blood loss, and hemodynamic and hematological disturbances. Excessive bleeding during hysteroscopic myomectomy remains a major challenge for the endoscopic gynecological surgeons. Many interventions were introduced to reduce the risk of bleeding during myomectomy. These include the use of utero-tonics such as oxytocin, or the use of anti-fibrinolytics such as tranexamic acid . The potential advantage of oxytocin infusion during hysteroscopic myomectomy is that it can maintains uterine contractility throughout the procedure, and thus, reduce blood loss . Carbetocin (1-deamino-1-monocarba-(0-2-methyltyrosine)-oxytocin) is a long-acting synthetic agonist analogue of the human oxytocin. When injected to a woman, it induces uterine contractions . Although many interventions have been described to reduce the intraoperative blood loss during hysteroscopic myomectomy, there is a need for a well-designed randomized controlled trials to identify the most efficient interventions, with reasonable safety profiles, to help the perform a safe and curative surgery.

Subjects with symptomatic uterine fibroids will be enrolled and will receive daily oral study medication for 4 months. This will be followed by a 6 month off-drug interval until there is a return of significant symptomatology. If they experience symptoms of a certain severity, the subject will enter a second 4 month treatment cycle and then a follow-up period.

The purpose of this study is to determine the safety and efficacy of insufflated bags for electromechanical power morcellation during laparoscopic hysterectomy and myomectomy for tissue removal and to observe the integrity of the bags throughout and after insufflation and power morcellation. The hypothesis is the bags will remain in tact without leakage from the bags during and after power morcellation using the described contained system, confirming the safety and efficacy of the systems.

The purpose of this study is to verify the effect of anesthetic technique on the change of postoperative serum vascular endothelial growth factor C and prostaglandin E2, and to explore the potential impact of the anesthetic technique on leiomyomas recurrence and growth after the surgery of abdominal myomectomy.

The aim of this RCT of study is to compare the outcomes of the standard salpingectomy (removal of the fallopian tube) with the radical removal of the tube and the mesosalpinx in terms of ovarian reserve.

Uterine Fibroids (UF) are benign smooth muscle neoplasms of the uterus that affect women of reproductive age. UFs are one of the leading causes of hospitalizations for gynecological disorders and often lead to hysterectomy. In this study, women with heavy menstrual bleeding (HMB) due to UF who are being treated with Oriahnn will be followed to establish the incidence rate, time to onset, extent, pattern, and resolution of meaningful hair loss, as well as any racial differences. Oriahnn is an approved drug for the management of HMB associated with UF. All study participants will receive Oriahnn as prescribed by their study doctor in accordance with approved local label. Study Participants will be followed for up 24 months (part 1). Approximately 1600 participants aged 18-50 years will be enrolled at 1 site in the United States. Participants will receive oral Oriahnn as prescribed by their physician according to their routine clinical practice and local label. Participants will be followed for 24 months. There is expected to be no additional burden for participants in this trial. Participants will complete questionnaires on a quarterly basis.

In this study the investigators will perform a randomized trial to compare the surgical outcomes of vaginal versus abdominal morcellation of the uterus during hysterectomy. In minimally invasive gynecologic surgery small incisions are made in the abdomen and pelvis so that a hysterectomy can be performed by laparoscopy. The challenge is then to remove the uterus, which may be quite large, through these small incisions. One option is to morcellate the uterus and remove the tissue through either a small abdominal incision or an incision in the vagina. When an organ is morcellated it is cut into smaller pieces so that it can be removed, section by section, through a small incision. The investigators will compare these two methods of tissue removal to see whether one results in better surgical outcomes or increased intra-operative or post-operative complications. The primary outcome will be the time it takes to perform the surgery (operative time). Secondary surgical outcomes that will be studied include the amount of blood lost during surgery, post-operative complications, and readmission to the hospital.
