About this study

Official title: ESS505 Pre-hysterectomy Protocol: Safety and Short Term Effectiveness Study

This study has been designed to evaluate an investigational model of the Essure System for Permanent Birth Control. The investigational device is designed to offer all the advantages of the currently approved device. In addition, the investigational device offers immediate, permanent contraception without a three-month waiting period or 90-day confirmation test. This study has been designed to evaluate the effectiveness of the investigational device in causing tubal occlusion from insert placement through three months of wearing.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • ESS505 (Essure, BAY1454033)Device

    Unilateral hysteroscopic placement of the permanent birth control system, Model ESS505 insert inclusive of polyethylene terephthalate (PET) fibers (investigational device model ESS505) followed by tubal occlusion evaluation by hysterosalpingogram (HSG) approximately 60 minutes following insert placement. A subsequent HSG was performed prior to the subjects' scheduled hysterectomy procedures at 30 (group 3), 60 (group 2) or 90 days (group 1) post insert placement. At the conclusion of the hysterectomy, the uterine cornua and fallopian tubes were sent to a pathology lab for histological preparation, and subsequent evaluation.

  • ESS305 (Essure, BAY1454032)Device

    Unilateral hysteroscopic placement of the permanent birth control system, Model ESS505 insert inclusive of polyethylene terephthalate (PET) fibers (investigational device model ESS505) and contralateral placement of the current commercially approved Essure device, model ESS305 followed by tubal occlusion evaluation by hysterosalpingogram (HSG) approximately 60 minutes following insert placement. A subsequent HSG was performed prior to the subjects' scheduled hysterectomy procedures at 30 (group 3), 60 (group 2) or 90 days (group 1) post insert placement. At the conclusion of the hysterectomy, the uterine cornua and fallopian tubes were sent to a pathology lab for histological preparation, and subsequent evaluation.

  • ESS505-A (Essure, BAY1454033)Device

    Bilateral hysteroscopic placement of the permanent birth control system, Model ESS505 insert with minimal polyethylene terephthalate (PET) fibers (investigational device model ESS505-A) followed by tubal occlusion evaluation by hysterosalpingogram (HSG) approximately 60 minutes following insert placement. A subsequent HSG was performed prior to the subjects' scheduled hysterectomy procedures at 30 (group 3), 60 (group 2) or 90 days (group 1) post insert placement.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Number of Occluded Fallopian Tubes 60 Minutes After Placement of the Insert as Measured by an HSG Evaluation

    Hysterosalpingogram (HSG) is an x-ray of the uterus and fallopian tubes after the injection of a contrast material (dye). This test evaluates tubal occlusion.

    Measured: 60 minutes after insert placement

  2. Number of Occluded Fallopian Tubes 30 Days Following Placement as Measured by an HSG Evaluation

    Hysterosalpingogram (HSG) is an x-ray of the uterus and fallopian tubes after the injection of a contrast material (dye). This test evaluates tubal occlusion. ESS505 and ESS505-A inserts are designed with the addition of an articulated hydrogel plug bonded to the distal portion of the insert with surgical grade adhesive and a nitinol support wire that remains inside the distal inner coil.

    Measured: 30 days after insert placement

  3. Number of Occluded Fallopian Tubes 60 Days Following Placement as Measured by an HSG Evaluation

    Hysterosalpingogram (HSG) is an x-ray of the uterus and fallopian tubes after the injection of a contrast material (dye). This test evaluates tubal occlusion. ESS505 and ESS505-A inserts are designed with the addition of an articulated hydrogel plug bonded to the distal portion of the insert with surgical grade adhesive and a nitinol support wire that remains inside the distal inner coil.

    Measured: 60 days after insert placement

  4. Number of Occluded Fallopian Tubes 90 Days Following Placement as Measured by an HSG Evaluation

    Hysterosalpingogram (HSG) is an x-ray of the uterus and fallopian tubes after the injection of a contrast material (dye). This test evaluates tubal occlusion. ESS505 and ESS505-A inserts are designed with the addition of an articulated hydrogel plug bonded to the distal portion of the insert with surgical grade adhesive and a nitinol support wire that remains inside the distal inner coil.

    Measured: 90 days after insert placement

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing ESS505 (Essure, BAY1454033), ESS305 (Essure, BAY1454032) and ESS505-A (Essure, BAY1454033) in people with Contraception, run by Bayer at 2 sites in 2 countries.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 4 inclusion and 10 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 4 Aug 2016. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites in Canada, Mexico. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 19 May 2016). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Number of Occluded Fallopian Tubes 60 Minutes After Placement of the Insert as Measured by an HSG Evaluation (time frame: 60 minutes after insert placement). The study lists 4 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT01664052, which also lists 1 linked publication.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 4 Aug 2016.
