About this study
Official title: Three Dimensional Trans-vaginal Ultrasound to Reevaluate Arcuate Uteri Diagnosed by Hystro-salpingography
Congenital uterine anomalies are found in 8% of infertile women and 24.5% of infertile women with a history of recurrent miscarriage, with septate and sub-septate uterus being the most common anomalies in these women, Also, septate uterus is the commonest anomaly found in infertile women requiring assisted reproductive technology.
Published data showed improved Cumulative pregnancy rate and live birth rate, and a significant reduction in Miscarriage rate in In Vitro Fertilization women after hysteroscopic metroplasty of both small and large septate compared to non-operated women.
Investigators hypothesized that trans-vaginal three Dimensional Ultrasound will be superior to Hystro-salpingography for the differentiation between arcuate and septate uterus in infertile women scheduled for In Vitro Fertilization.

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
Three dimensional ultrasoundRadiation
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Three dimensional ultrasound | Other | Infertile women with diagnosis of arcuate and septate uterus based on Hystro-salpingography were recruited. All women were examined by Three dimensional ultrasound on day 22 cycle to allow for better delineation of the uterine contour. The outer and inner fundal contours and the length of the fundal notch were examined by Three dimensional ultrasound in the mid-coronal view of the multi-planar and multi-slice display of the uterus. The final diagnosis of the anomalies was based on combined hysteroscopy/laparoscopy examination, the gold standard. Receives: Radiation: Three dimensional ultrasound |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Number of patients diagnosed to have subseptate uterus by three dimensional ultrasound
Measured: 1 year

Clinical summary
The research question as the sponsor registered it. This describes what the study plans to test, not what it found.
Congenital uterine anomalies are found in 8% of infertile women and 24.5% of infertile women with a history of recurrent miscarriage, with septate and sub-septate uterus being the most common anomalies in these women, Also, septate uterus is the commonest anomaly found in infertile women requiring assisted reproductive technology.
Published data showed improved Cumulative pregnancy rate and live birth rate, and a significant reduction in Miscarriage rate in In Vitro Fertilization women after hysteroscopic metroplasty of both small and large septate compared to non-operated women.
Investigators hypothesized that trans-vaginal three Dimensional Ultrasound will be superior to Hystro-salpingography for the differentiation between arcuate and septate uterus in infertile women scheduled for In Vitro Fertilization.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 2 study testing Three dimensional ultrasound in people with Infertility, run by Assiut University at 1 site in Egypt.
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 3 inclusion and 1 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 18 Dec 2015. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 1 site in Egypt. 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.
What does this phase mean?
Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.
Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.
Are results available for this study?
The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.
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 patients diagnosed to have subseptate uterus by three dimensional ultrasound (time frame: 1 year). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
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 18 Dec 2015.
