What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Odds of changed surgical approach in deep endometriosis based on preoperative MRI findings.

    All endometriosis lesions found on MRI will be checked during laparoscopy in order to determine how the MRI findings might have changed the decision to do a surgical approach by gynaecologists only or multidisciplinary approach by gynaecologists, urologists or/and abdominal surgeons, and this compared to the conventional preoperative imaging approach (double contrast barium enema, intravenous urography and ultrasound.

    Measured: All the imaging findings will be checked during a laparoscopy the latest 80 weeks after the imaging examinations.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Endometriosis, run by Universitaire Ziekenhuizen KU Leuven at 1 site in Belgium.

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 1 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 8 Dec 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Belgium. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

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

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?

Odds of changed surgical approach in deep endometriosis based on preoperative MRI findings. (time frame: All the imaging findings will be checked during a laparoscopy the latest 80 weeks after the imaging examinations.). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
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 8 Dec 2017.
