Pro-inflammatory Cytokines in Case of Essure® (ESCYTO)

July 12, 2023 updated by: Hospices Civils de Lyon

Study of Pro-inflammatory Cytokines in Case of Essure® Contraceptive Implants

It is estimated that 750,000 women (including 200,000 French) have benefited from permanent sterilization by ESSURE® contraceptive implant. The observation in some of these patients of gynecological and extra-gynecological symptoms leads to the surgical removal of these implants.

The pathophysiological mechanism(s) is (are) not yet determined. Several pathophysiological hypotheses have been proposed, in particular the inflammatory hypothesis. The investigators propose to study markers of inflammation (pro-inflammatory cytokines) in peritoneal fluid and blood. Cytokines are involved in the physiopathology of autoimmune diseases, infectious pathologies, or even cancer; they are used in everyday practice and can constitute a therapeutic target.

Based on the literature which finds a high concentration of cytokines in cases of endometriosis, and a low concentration in healthy control patients, the investigators want to assess inflammation in patients with Essure® implants.

The demonstration of one or more specifically increased cytokines in the Essure® group could validate the inflammatory hypothesis and lead to the implementation of specific treatments and relevant markers.

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

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

  • Adult
  • Older Adult

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Sampling Method

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, 2022

Primary Completion (Estimated)

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.
