About this study

Official title: Comparison Between Abstention and Intrauterine Aspiration in the Treatment of Anechoic Fetal Ovarian Cysts to Prevent Ovarian Torsion

The purpose of this study is to determine whether prenatal ovarian cyst aspiration is effective and safe to prevent perinatal ovarian torsion.

Read the detailed description

With the widespread use of routine sonography during pregnancy, the incidence of fetal ovarian cysts detected in utero has increased in the past decades. However

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Fetal ovarian cyst aspiration in people with Ovarian Cyst and Ultrasonography Prenatal, run by University Hospital, Tours at 3 sites in France.

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 1 inclusion and 4 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 3 Feb 2010. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 3 sites in France. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

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?

To avoid neonatal surgery (time frame: 3 months after birth). 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 NCT00222066, which also lists 2 linked publications.

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 3 Feb 2010.
