Comparing Patient-Centered Outcomes After Treatment for Uterine Fibroids

June 27, 2016 updated by: Priscilla Velentgas, Quintiles, Inc.
The purpose of this observational, retrospective database study of patients with uterine fibroids is to compare the durability of symptom relief after uterus-conserving treatments for symptomatic fibroids in terms of incidence of, and time to, new or recurrent symptoms and subsequent procedures and evaluate the effect stakeholder participation had on the research process.

Study Overview

Status

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.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

18 years to 54 years (Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Genders Eligible for Study

Female

Sampling Method

Non-Probability Sample

Study Population

The patient population for the retrospective data analysis was uterine fibroid patients who have a record of at least 1 of the procedures of interest occurring during the time period of January 1, 2005 - December 31, 2011, with the first instance being designated as the index date. The study time period spanned from January 1, 2004 - December 31, 2013 to allow for 12 months pre-index for evaluating baseline demographic and clinical characteristics and 24 months post-index, ensuring a minimum of 2 years follow-up.

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Female patients with a diagnosis of uterine fibroids at any time and at least 1 office visit during study time period
  • At least 1 of the procedures of interest occurring between January 1, 2005 - December 31, 2011
  • ≥ 18 years and < 55 years of age at the index date

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Patients with a diagnosis of gynecologic cancer (ovarian, uterine, cervical)
  • First recorded diagnosis of uterine fibroids occurring beyond four weeks after the Index Date ONLY for patients who underwent endometrial ablation or hysterectomy
  • Patients with a record of any procedures of interest occurring before January 1, 2005

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

Time Frame: Minimum of two years after index procedure
Minimum of two years after index procedure
Time to new or recurrent symptoms after uterus-conserving treatments (myomectomy, endometrial ablation, uterine artery embolization, magnetic resonance imaging [MRI]-guided focused ultrasound ablation)
Time Frame: Minimum of two years after index procedure
Minimum of two years after index procedure
Number of uterine fibroids patients who experience a subsequent procedure after uterus-conserving treatments (myomectomy, endometrial ablation, uterine artery embolization, magnetic resonance imaging [MRI]-guided focused ultrasound ablation)

These dates track the progress of study record and summary results submissions to ClinicalTrials.gov. Study records and reported results are reviewed by the National Library of Medicine (NLM) to make sure they meet specific quality control standards before being posted on the public website.

Study Major Dates

Study Start

Study Start

The actual date on which the first participant was enrolled in a clinical study. The "anticipated" study start date is the date that the researchers think will be the study start date.
November 1, 2014

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.

Study Completion (Actual)

Study Completion

The date on which the last participant in a clinical study was examined or received an intervention/treatment to collect final data for the primary outcome measures, secondary outcome measures, and adverse events (that is, the last participant's last visit). The "anticipated" study completion date is the date that the researchers think will be the study completion date.
