January 23, 2024 updated by: Assistance Publique - Hôpitaux de Paris

Fusion Ultrasound for Diagnosis and Monitoring of Endometriosis Lesions ENDOFUSION

The aim of the study is evaluate the fusion ultrasound performance compared to MRI and coelioscopy diagnosis when a surgical intervention is performed.

Study Overview

Status

Status

Indicates the current recruitment status or the expanded access status.
Active, not recruiting

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.

Detailed Description

The research is about diagnosis performance between fusion ultrasound and the gold standard (MRI coelioscopy ). Fusion ultrasound is a no-invasive scientific technical which allow with security to evaluate the progress of endometriosis lesions. During 39 months, 200 patients will be follow. In one arm, there is the control group with women without endometriosis. In the second arm, there is the patient with endometriosis. We will compare monitoring differences between gold standard and fusion ultrasound ( Cost assessment,exams duration, reproductibility, the link between symptoms and evolution of the lesion size).

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 50 years (Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Sampling Method

Non-Probability Sample

Study Population

Any major patient with an indication for pelvic MRI and pelvic ultrasound outside a proven cancer indication (suspicion of endometriosis or other pathology for the control population).

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Patients from 18 to 50 years old
  • Patient informed and who gave her non-opposition to participate in the research
  • Patient with an indication for pelvic MRI and pelvic ultrasound either for the exploration of endometriosis or pelvic pain, or for another gynaecological pathology (ovarian cyst, poly-myomatous uterus, uterine malformation) outside of a proven cancer indication.
  • Patient affiliated to a social security or entitled to a social security allowance

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Patient with a proven cancerous pathology at the time of the prescription of the complementary examinations.
  • Virgin patient
  • Pregnant patient
  • Patients under protective measures
  • Contraindication to MRI (claustrophobia, intracorporeal metallic foreign body)

Cohorts and Interventions

Group / Cohort

Group / Cohort

A group or subgroup of participants in an observational study that is assessed for biomedical or health outcomes.
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.
Patient with endometriosis or suspicion of endometriosis
  • Information and collection of the non-objection before inclusion
  • Interrogation, clinical examination, EHP30 and SF36 form at inclusion
  • MRI, pelvic ultrasound (coupled with fusion ultrasound)
  • Laparoscopy if indicated after MRI, ultrasound and fusion ultrasound
  • Monitoring by form and fusion ultrasound at 6 months and then once a year for 3 years
Diagnostic test: Fusion ultrasound
Fusion ultrasound is a technique that allows a volume acquired in MRI to be coupled to an ultrasound scan with real-time image synchronisation.
Patient with other gynaecological pathology
  • Information and collection of the non-opposition before inclusion
  • Interrogation, clinical examination, EHP30 and SF36 form at inclusion
  • MRI, pelvic ultrasound (coupled with fusion ultrasound)
  • laparoscopy if indicated after MRI, ultrasound and fusion ultrasound
Diagnostic test: Fusion ultrasound
Fusion ultrasound is a technique that allows a volume acquired in MRI to be coupled to an ultrasound scan with real-time image synchronisation.

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
Sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value (VPP) and negative predictive value (VPN) of fusion ultrasound compared to transvaginal ultrasound and MRI for the diagnosis of endometriosis lesions
Time Frame: 3 years and 3 months
To evaluate the diagnostic performance of fusion ultrasound compared to transvaginal gynaecological ultrasound and MRI for the diagnosis of endometriosis lesions.
3 years and 3 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
To evaluate the contribution of fusion ultrasound in the follow-up of patients suffering from endometriosis, in particular with an ultrasound follow-up in comparison with an initial reference MRI in the case of medical or surgical management.
Time Frame: 3 years and 3 months
Correlation between the evolution of clinical and quality of life symptoms (EHP30 form and Short Form 36) and the evolution of lesion size between initial MRI and follow-up ultrasounds at 6 months and one year
3 years and 3 months
Evaluation of the cost of imaging for 3 years between an annual fusion ultrasound surveillance in replacement of a annual MRI surveillance
Time Frame: 3 years and 3 months
Comparison of imaging costs will be carried out over 3 years between a conventional procedure with annual MRI and the procedure being evaluated
3 years and 3 months
Compare the duration of a standard ultrasound scan to an ultrasound scan with fusion
Time Frame: 3 years and 3 months
Comparison of the average examination time by a Student T-test between standard and fusion ultrasound.
3 years and 3 months
Evaluate the reproducibility of the conclusions of the fusion ultrasound between 2 operators.
Time Frame: 3 years and 3 months
Evaluation of the reproducibility by an intra-class correlation test for the conclusions of fusion ultrasound between two operators.
3 years and 3 months
