Purpose
The purpose of this study is to establish the effectiveness and confirm the safety of the VizAblate System in the ablation of large (> 5 cm) symptomatic uterine fibroids.

Leiomyoma Uterine Fibroids Menorrhagia |
Device: VizAblate System |
| Study Type: | Interventional |
| Study Design: | Endpoint Classification: Efficacy Study Intervention Model: Single Group Assignment Masking: Open Label Primary Purpose: Treatment |
| Official Title: | Symptom Effectiveness Study of VizAblate® Intrauterine Ultrasound-Guided RF Ablation (IUUSgRFA) in the Ablation of Large Uterine Fibroids |
Further study details as provided by Gynesonics:
Primary Outcome Measures:
- Mean percentage change in target fibroid perfused volume [ Time Frame: Baseline, 3 months ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
Secondary Outcome Measures:
- Number of adverse events [ Time Frame: Procedure through 12 mo ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]Procedure safety will be assessed by recording all adverse events that occur on the day of the procedure. Longer-term safety will be assessed by recording at each follow-up visit any untoward medical occurrence since baseline. Each adverse event will be assessed for severity and relationship to study device.
- Percentage reduction in Symptom Severity Score (SSS) subscale of the Uterine Fibroid Symptom and Quality-of-Life (UFS-QOL) Questionnaire [ Time Frame: Baseline through 12 months ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
- Rate of surgical reintervention for menorrhagia [ Time Frame: through 12 months ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
- Return to normal daily activity [ Time Frame: 2 weeks or until returned to normal activity ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
