About this study

The purpose of this study is to investigate the efficacy of Granulocyte Colony Stimulating Factor(G-CSF) on decreasing adhesion reformation and improving fertility outcomes after hysteroscopic adhesiolysis in patients with moderate to severe intrauterine adhesions.

Read the detailed description

After hysteroscopic adhesiolysis, patients with moderate to severe intrauterine adhesions will be allocated into 2 groups randomly, with COOK ballon and estrogen and progesterone sequential therapy given to prevent adhesion routinely. 7 day later, G-CSF or normal saline will be injected into the uterine cavity by Tom catheter after removing the balloon respectively. A second hysteroscopic examination will be performed in 2 months to check up the adhesion reformation. In addition, the endometrial thickness after surgery and fertility outcome will be followed up.

Being tested
G-CSF, Normal saline, hormone therapy, Cook balloon
Keywords

What participants receive

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

  • G-CSFDrug

    Also called granulocyte colony-stimulating factor

    7 days after first hysteroscopic adhesiolysis, G-CSF will be injected into the uterine cavity after balloon removing.

  • Normal salineDrug

    Also called 0.9% NaCl, 0.9% sodium chloride

    7 days after first hysteroscopic adhesiolysis, normal saline will be injected into the uterine cavity after balloon removing.

  • hormone therapyDrug

    Also called Artificial cycle, Artificial menstrual cycle, Estrogen and Progesterone Sequential Therapy

    In all cases hormone therapy was commenced shortly after the operation, consisting of oestradiol valerate at a dose of 6 mg per day for 21-28 days with the addition of medroxyprogesterone acetate at a dose of 6 mg per day for the last 7-10 days of the oestrogen therapy. Following the withdrawal bleed, the hormone therapy was repeated for another cycle.

  • Cook balloonOther

    At the end of the procedure, the Cook balloon were placed in the uterine cavity of each patient.the device was removed after 7 days.

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 5 inclusion and 6 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in China. 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Results are not available in the source record.

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

Contact Xiaona Lin, Doctor (+8657186006252, linna73@263.net), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Adhesion reformation rate (time frame: 2 months after first surgery). 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 NCT02855632, 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 5 Jan 2018.
