About this study

This is a prospective, multicentric (three centers: 1: Shanghai First Maternity and Infant Hospital, Shanghai, China; 2: International Peace Maternity and Child Health Hospital, Shanghai, China, 3: Shanghai Tongji Hospital, Tongji University School of Medicine, Shanghai ,China), randomized clinical trial that includes patients undergoing laparoscopic surgery for primary unilateral ovarian endometriomas. Eligible patients will be subjected to transvaginal ultrasound before surgery to perform cyst classification (central type, marginal type and outcrop type). Patients are divided to two group: laparoscopic cystectomy group versus laparoscopic aspiration/electrocoagulation group. Biopsy samples in aspiration/electrocoagulation group and excision samples in cystectomy group are all subjected to histopathological examination. Follicular stimulating hormone (FSH), Anti mullerian hormone (AMH) and antral follicular count (AFC) will be measured pre-operative and post-operative.

The aim of the study is to determine whether and to what extent the two surgical procedures for ovarian endometrioma, cystectomy and aspiration/electrocoagulation, affect ovarian reserve. The investigators intend to confirm the clinical utility of ultrasonic classification of ovarian endometrioma, FSH, AMH and AFC in the assessment of ovarian reserve, and to promote their use in predicting decreased ovarian reserve.

The surgical excision of cystic wall, cystic fluid and peritoneal fluid will be subjected to transmission electron microscope, high resolution mass spectrometry and single-cell RNA sequencing to investigate their cellular and molecular features.

What is being measured

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

  1. comparison between the impacts of laparoscopic cystectomy and laparoscopic aspiration /electrocoagulation on ovarian reserve as determined by alteration of AFC estimation in endometrioma patients.

    AFC: number of follicles with average diameter of 2-10 mm in both ovaries assessed on day 2-5 of the menstrual cycle.

    Measured: 6 months

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. comparison between the impacts of laparoscopic cystectomy and laparoscopic aspiration /electrocoagulation on ovarian reserve as determined by alteration of AMH level in endometrioma patients.

    AMH is assessed on venous blood samples

    Measured: 6 months

  2. comparison between the impacts of laparoscopic cystectomy and laparoscopic aspiration /electrocoagulation on ovarian reserve as determined by alteration of FSH level in endometrioma patients.

    FSH is assessed on venous blood samples obtained on day 2-5 of the menstrual cycle

    Measured: 6 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing laparoscopic aspiration/electrocoagulation and laparoscopic cystectomy in people with Ovarian Endometrioma and Ovarian Reserve, run by Shanghai First Maternity and Infant Hospital at 1 site in China.

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 9 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 11 Jun 2021. 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 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. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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

Contact Jing Sun (86-021-20261258, sunjing61867@126.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

comparison between the impacts of laparoscopic cystectomy and laparoscopic aspiration /electrocoagulation on ovarian reserve as determined by alteration of AFC estimation in endometrioma patients. (time frame: 6 months). 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 11 Jun 2021.
