About this study

Official title: A Phase 2, 12-Week, Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo Controlled Study to Evaluate the Effects of J867 on Uterine Artery Blood Flow and the Morphology of the Endometrium, Myometrium, and Uterine Leiomyomata in Subjects With Uterine Leiomyomata Scheduled for Hysterectomy.

The objective of this study is to evaluate the effects of 10 mg and 25 mg doses of asoprisnil, compared to placebo, taken daily for 12 weeks, on uterine blood flow and the morphology of the endometrium and uterine fibroids.

Read the detailed description

No medical therapy is currently available for the long-term treatment of uterine fibroids. The objective of this study is to determine the effects of asoprisnil in uterine fibroid growth suppression. Full thickness biopsies obtained from surgical procedures will allow the assessment of asoprisnil's effects on the basalis, the myometrium, and on endometrial angiogenesis. Various other exploratory immunohistological and biochemical specimens will be collected to evaluate the mechanisms of action of asoprisnil in the endometrium, the myometrium, and in uterine fibroids.

  2. Morphological changes in the endometrium, myometrium and uterine fibroids.

    Measured: Final Visit

  3. Change from baseline in menstrual pictogram score.

    Measured: Final Month

  4. Percent change from baseline in volume of the largest fibroid.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Asoprisnil in people with Uterine Fibroids and Leiomyoma, run by Abbott.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 9 inclusion and 11 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 29 May 2008. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Change from baseline to the Final Visit in uterine artery blood flow as determined by change in Resistance Index. (time frame: Final visit). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00150644, which also lists 1 linked publication.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 29 May 2008.
