Brief Summary:
PREG2 is a randomized controlled trial that aims to evaluate efficacy in preventing intrauterine adhesion recurrence after hysteroscopic adhesiolysis of a novel intrauterine barrier film named Womed Leaf

Condition or disease Intervention/treatment Phase
Asherman Syndrome Intrauterine Adhesion Device: Womed Leaf Not Applicable

Detailed Description:

PREG2 is a prospective, multi-center, randomized, controlled, two arm clinical study. The objective is to evaluate the efficacy of Womed Leaf in preventing intrauterine adhesion recurrence after adhesiolysis compared to adhesiolysis alone.

The study will be performed on women with moderate or severe adhesions (AFS score >=5) scheduled for adhesiolysis. Indeed, the risk of intrauterine adhesion is very high (up to 60%) in this population of patients.

A follow-up diagnostic hysteroscopy will be performed 6-8 weeks after the adhesiolysis procedure to determine the presence and severity of IUAs according to the American Fertility Society and European Society of Gynecologic Endoscopy classification systems of adhesions. Fertility-related outcome will include live pregnancy at 1 year and 2 years and will be reported as secondary endpoints. 154 women are planned to be included in the PREG2 study.

Arms and Interventions
Go to 
Top of Page Study Description Study Design Arms and Interventions Outcome Measures Eligibility Criteria Contacts and Locations More Information

Arm Intervention/treatment
Experimental: Womed Leaf
IUA prevention: The novel intrauterine barrier film (Womed Leaf) is inserted immediately after completion of the hysteroscopic adhesiolysis
 Device: Womed Leaf

Womed Leaf™ device is composed of a uterine anti-adhesion film pre-loaded inside a flexible inserter.

Womed Leaf™ is inserted in the uterine cavity by the gynecologist surgeon as a film folded into a 5 mm diameter flexible inserter. Once released, the film will unfold and swell into the uterine cavity to keep uterus walls separated during approximately 5 days. It is degraded and discharged naturally through the cervix and vagina in less than 30 days.
No Intervention: Control
No IUA prevention - no placebo after adhesiolysis


Outcome Measures
Go to 
Top of Page Study Description Study Design Arms and Interventions Outcome Measures Eligibility Criteria Contacts and Locations More Information

Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Efficacy - IUA severity [ Time Frame: At second look hysteroscopy between 4 and 8 weeks ]
    Change of AFS score between pre-adhesiolysis and second-look hysteroscopy (AFS) score

  2. Safety - Adverse events [ Time Frame: At second look hysteroscopy between 4 and 8 weeks ]
    The number, severity and type of adverse events at second look hysteroscopy.


Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. Freedom from IUA [ Time Frame: At second look hysteroscopy between 4 and 8 weeks ]
    Rate of IUA

  2. IUA severity at second look [ Time Frame: At second look hysteroscopy between 4 and 8 weeks ]
    Average of AFS scores at second look hysteroscopy

  3. IUA severity after adhesiolysis [ Time Frame: Just after adhesiolysis ]
    Average of AFS scores post adhesiolysis

  4. AFS score components [ Time Frame: At second look hysteroscopy between 4 and 8 weeks ]
    Average of each component of AFS score: extent of IUA, type of IUA and menstrual pattern

  5. Change in AFS score components [ Time Frame: At second look hysteroscopy between 4 and 8 weeks ]
    Average of the change in each component of AFS score between post-adhesiolysis and second look hysteroscopy

  6. Change in AFS score [ Time Frame: At second look hysteroscopy between 4 and 8 weeks ]
    Change of AFS score between post-adhesiolysis and second-look hysteroscopy

  7. IUA severity according to ESGE classification [ Time Frame: At second look hysteroscopy between 4 and 8 weeks ]
    Median of ESGE stage at second look hysteroscopy

  8. Reintervention rate [ Time Frame: 1 year ]
    Reintervention rate, during second look hysteroscopy or scheduled later up to one year

  9. Number of re-intervention procedures [ Time Frame: 1 year ]
    Number of adhesiolysis procedures after second look up to one year

  10. Pregnancy rate [ Time Frame: 1 year ]
    Pregnancy rate defined as presence of foetal sac or heartbeat by ultrasound, whether spontaneous or IVF

  11. Pregnancy rate [ Time Frame: 2 years ]
    Pregnancy rate defined as presence of foetal sac or heartbeat by ultrasound, whether spontaneous or IVF

  12. Live birth [ Time Frame: 1 year ]
    Live birth rate

  13. Live birth [ Time Frame: 2 years ]
    Live birth rate

  14. Pregnancy complication [ Time Frame: 2 years ]
    Pregnancy complication rate

  15. Time to pregnancy [ Time Frame: 2 years ]
    Time to pregnancy (i.e. time between the second look hysteroscopy and pregnancy start)

  16. Improvement of IUA severity [ Time Frame: At second look hysteroscopy between 4 and 8 weeks ]

    Percentage of patients who have improvement on the IUA severity according to Clinical Category:

    Percentage of patients who have Mild adhesions or no adhesion at second look Percentage of patients who improved from Severe to Moderate or from Moderate to Mild Percentage of patients who improved from Severe to Mild
