About this study

Official title: The Efficacy of A New Crosslinked Hyaluronan Gel in the Prevention of Postoperative Intrauterine Adhesion After Dilatation and Curettage in Women With Delayed Miscarriage: A Prospective, Randomized, Controlled Trial

Using American Fertility Society classification of intrauterine adhesions, the efficacy of a new crosslinked hyaluronan gel in reducing intrauterine adhesion formation after dilatation and curettage for delayed miscarriage in women without previous dilatation and curettage was examined.

Read the detailed description

Study Objectives: To evaluate the efficacy of a new crosslinked hyaluronan gel in reducing intrauterine adhesions formation after dilatation and curettage.

Design: Randomized controlled trial. Settings: Six hospitals for maternal and child health care in China. Patients: Three hundred women undergoing dilatation and curettage for delayed miscarriage without previous dilatation and curettage.

Interventions: Women were randomly assigned into either dilatation and curettage alone group or dilatation and curettage plus new crosslinked hyaluronan gel application group with 1:1 allocation.

Measurements and Outcomes: All patients were evaluated using American Fertility Society classification of IUAs during the follow-up diagnostic hysteroscopy, scheduled 3 months after dilatation and curettage procedure. The primary outcome was the number of women with IUAs, and the secondary outcome was the adhesion scores and the severity of IUAs.

TreatmentExperimentalAt the end of the dilatation and curettage, new crosslinked hyaluronan gel (3ml) was applied to the uterine cavity in women assigned to the treatment group through a 15-cm sterile cannula.
Receives: Device: new crosslinked hyaluronan gel
ControlNo interventionAt the end of the dilatation and curettage, nothing was applied to the uterine cavity in women assigned to the control group.

What is being measured

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

  1. Incidence of intrauterine adhesion

    The number of women with intrauterine adhesion

    Measured: 3 months after dilatation and curettage

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. The adhesion scores of extent of uterine cavity involved

    Evaluated according to American Fertility Society classification of intrauterine adhesion during the follow-up diagnostic hysteroscopy: 1 point (<1/3 cavity with adhesion), 2 points (1/3-2/3 cavity with adhesion) and 4 points (>2/3 cavity with adhesion), high values represent worse outcome

    Measured: 3 months after dilatation and curettage

  2. The adhesion scores of type of adhesion

    Evaluated according to American Fertility Society classification of intrauterine adhesion during the follow-up diagnostic hysteroscopy: 1 point (filmy adhesion), 2 points (filmy \& dense adhesion) and 4 points (dense adhesion), high values represent worse outcome

    Measured: 3 months after dilatation and curettage

  3. The adhesion scores of menstrual pattern

    Evaluated according to American Fertility Society classification of intrauterine adhesion during the follow-up diagnostic hysteroscopy: 0 point (normal), 2 points (hypomenorrhea) and 4 points (amenorrhea), high values represent worse outcome

    Measured: 3 months after dilatation and curettage

  4. Cumulative adhesion score

    The summed score of the adhesion scores of extent of uterine cavity involved, type of adhesion and menstrual pattern; range: 1-12 points, high values represent worse outcome

    Measured: 3 months after dilatation and curettage

  5. Severity

    Graded according to cumulative adhesion score: Stage I (mild)(1-4 points), Stage II (moderate)(5-8 points) and Stage III (severe)(9-12 points).

    Measured: 3 months after dilatation and curettage

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing new crosslinked hyaluronan gel in people with Intrauterine Adhesion, run by BioRegen Biomedical (Changzhou) Co., Ltd.

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

Who may be eligible to take part?

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 27 Nov 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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?

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?

Incidence of intrauterine adhesion (time frame: 3 months after dilatation and curettage). 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 NCT03353909, 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 27 Nov 2017.
