Trial summary

Indication for hysteroscopic guided biopsy compared to blind biopsy have been little evaluated. However, this kind of biopsy is usually performed in many centre. They allow exploration of uterine cavity but also to perform guided biopsies on the most suspicious area. Read more about this study

About this study

Indication for hysteroscopic guided biopsy compared to blind biopsy have been little evaluated. However, this kind of biopsy is usually performed in many centre. They allow exploration of uterine cavity but also to perform guided biopsies on the most suspicious area. However, with 5Fr forceps, biopsy are often too small to conclude.

Read the detailed description

Blind biopsies using Novak or Cormier cannula had limits. Demirkiran et al conclude on 673 women that histology was similar between biopsies and hysterectomy in only 67% of cases. Others studies conclude thatit is difficult to conclude about focal disease with blind biopsies.

A study compared blind biopsies to biopsy performed under hysteroscopic guidance in women using Tamoxifene and conclude that guided biopsies were more specific (80% versus 68.9%) and a better positive predictive value (68.9% versus 43.7%) for all kind of endometrial pathologies

What is being measured

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

  1. To evaluate ability to give a pathologic conclusion after 5Fr and 7Fr forceps biopsies

    Evaluated by the number of cases on witch the biopsy allowed to conclude

    Measured: During the pathologist's analysis

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. To compare histologic conclusions after 5 and 7Fr biopsies

    Evaluated by Importance of collapse artifacts

    Measured: During the pathologist's analysis

  2. To compare rate of ability to obtain pathologic conclusion on the sample after 5Fr and 7Fr forceps in endometrial carcinoma

    The number of endometrial malignancies diagnosed histologically with either forceps

    Measured: During the pathologist's analysis

  3. To evaluate the rate of hysteroscopic failure due to cervical stenosis

    The number of cases where hysteroscopy was not possible

    Measured: During the pathologist's analysis

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Endometrial sampling in people with Biopsy, run by Assistance Publique - Hôpitaux de Paris at 1 site 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 4 inclusion and 3 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 1 Sep 2020. 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 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?

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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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

Contact Perinne CAPMAS (+33(0)145217701, perinne.capmas@aphp.fr), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

To evaluate ability to give a pathologic conclusion after 5Fr and 7Fr forceps biopsies (time frame: During the pathologist's analysis). 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 1 Sep 2020.
