Trial summary

It is estimated that 750,000 women (including 200,000 French) have benefited from permanent sterilization by ESSURE® contraceptive implant. The observation in some of these patients of gynecological and extra-gynecological symptoms leads to the surgical removal of these implants. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Study of Pro-inflammatory Cytokines in Case of Essure® Contraceptive Implants

It is estimated that 750,000 women (including 200,000 French) have benefited from permanent sterilization by ESSURE® contraceptive implant. The observation in some of these patients of gynecological and extra-gynecological symptoms leads to the surgical removal of these implants.

The pathophysiological mechanism(s) is (are) not yet determined. Several pathophysiological hypotheses have been proposed, in particular the inflammatory hypothesis. The investigators propose to study markers of inflammation (pro-inflammatory cytokines) in peritoneal fluid and blood. Cytokines are involved in the physiopathology of autoimmune diseases, infectious pathologies, or even cancer; they are used in everyday practice and can constitute a therapeutic target.

Based on the literature which finds a high concentration of cytokines in cases of endometriosis, and a low concentration in healthy control patients, the investigators want to assess inflammation in patients with Essure® implants.

The demonstration of one or more specifically increased cytokines in the Essure® group could validate the inflammatory hypothesis and lead to the implementation of specific treatments and relevant markers.

Being tested

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Inflammatory Disease, run by Hospices Civils de Lyon at 1 site in France.

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 6 inclusion and 3 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 13 Nov 2023. 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 France. 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?

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?

cytokine IL10 in peritoneal fluid (time frame: through study completion, an average of 4 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 13 Nov 2023.
