Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 18 to 40 years
  • Women only
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult

Who may be able to join

  • age between 18 and 40 years and unilateral symptomatic OEs ≥3 cm.

Who cannot join

  • previous pelvic surgery, history of cancer, suspected malignancy, presurgical suspicion or evidence of deep endometriosis, presurgical suspicion or evidence of premature ovarian failure, and the use of estrogen suppressive drugs, including oral contraceptives, GnRH-agonists, progestins, or danazol in the preceding 3 months. We excluded patients with suspicion of deep endometriosis according to an extensive preoperative work-up (including magnetic resonance imaging when necessary) routinely performed in such patients.

About this study

Official title: Microparticle Generation After Laparoscopic Surgical Treatment for Endometrioma: a Pilot, Prospective, Randomized Study Comparing Stripping With CO2 Laser Vaporization

Study objective: To evaluate serial generation of microparticles (MPs) after laparoscopic stripping or CO2 laser vaporization in surgical treatment of patients with ovarian endometrioma (OE).

Design: A prospective, randomized, blinded, pilot study, including 33 patients. Setting: Tertiary university hospital from April 2015 to June 2017. Patients: 33 women with unilateral OE undergoing laparoscopic surgery. Intervention: Patients were randomly selected to undergo either CO2 laser vaporization (L group) or laparoscopic stripping (S group) of OE.

Measurements and Main results: Blood samples were collected before surgery, and at 2 hours, 24 hours, 1 month, and 3 months after surgery. MPs generation curve after ovarian endometrioma surgery was performed.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Stripping versus laser CO2 in people with Microparticle and Endometriosis, run by Francisco Carmona at 1 site in Spain.

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 1 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 12 Feb 2018. 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 Spain. 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?

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?

Microparticle levels after two laparoscopic treatments of ovarian endometriomas (time frame: 1 month). 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 12 Feb 2018.
