ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier:
NCT01539187
First received: February 21, 2012
Last updated: October 10, 2012
Last verified: October 2012
  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.


Condition Intervention
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 ]

Estimated Enrollment: 48
Study Start Date: June 2012
Estimated Study Completion Date: December 2013
Estimated Primary Completion Date: April 2013 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure)
Arms Assigned Interventions
Experimental: VizAblate intervention
VizAblate System with subject serving as her own control
Device: VizAblate System
VizAblate enables a minimally invasive procedure to visualize, target, and ablate uterine fibroids using intrauterine ultrasound and radiofrequency (RF) energy
