A Study on the Safety and Efficacy of the SCu300A IUB Compared to the TCu380 Copper IUD

July 4, 2018 updated by: Ocon Medical Ltd.

A Prospective, Randomized, Single Blind, Two Arms Controlled Study of the Safety and Efficacy of the SCu300A IUB™ Spherical Copper Intrauterine Ball in Comparison to TCu 380 IUD Intra-uterine Contraceptive Device

This study aims to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the IUB SCu300A spherical copper IUD compared to the standard T shaped copper IUD, the TCu380.

Participants will be followed for one year and quality of life measurements will be measured during this period as well.

Study Overview

Status

Status

Indicates the current recruitment status or the expanded access status.
Withdrawn

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Study Type

Study Type

Describes the nature of a clinical study. Study types include interventional studies (also called clinical trials), observational studies (including patient registries), and expanded access.
Interventional

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Perforation rate
Time Frame: During device insertion
Number of subjects with partial or complete perforation through the uterine wall
During device insertion
Device expulsion
Time Frame: 12 months
Number of subjects with partially or fully ejected devices
12 months
Efficacy in preventing pregnancy
Time Frame: 12 months
Number of women who become pregnant during the trial period.
12 months
Device malposition
Time Frame: 12 months
Number of subjects with observed device malposition within the uterine cavity
12 months

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Menorrhagia and dysmenorrhea rates
Time Frame: 12 months

Primary Completion (Actual)

Primary Completion

The date on which the last participant in a clinical study was examined or received an intervention to collect final data for the primary outcome measure. Whether the clinical study ended according to the protocol or was terminated does not affect this date. For clinical studies with more than one primary outcome measure with different completion dates, this term refers to the date on which data collection is completed for all the primary outcome measures. The "anticipated" primary completion date is the date that the researchers think will be the primary completion date for the study.
