Trial summary

In moderate to severe cavity adhesions, the endometrial basal layer is more severely damaged and the regenerative capacity of the endometrium and glands is low. Even though hysteroscopic electrosurgery can roughly restore the cavity morphology, the postoperative recurrence rate is as high as 40%. Read more about this study

About this study

In moderate to severe cavity adhesions, the endometrial basal layer is more severely damaged and the regenerative capacity of the endometrium and glands is low. Even though hysteroscopic electrosurgery can roughly restore the cavity morphology, the postoperative recurrence rate is as high as 40%. Abnormal uterine cavity morphology and poor endometrial repair often lead to repeated cancellation of embryo transfer cycles in assisted reproduction treatment, and reduced clinical pregnancy rate, causing mental stress and financial burden to patients, which is one of the current problems in clinically assisted reproduction treatment. Nintedanib is a triple vascular kinase inhibitor that acts primarily on platelet-derived growth factor receptor (PDGFR) and fibroblast growth factor receptor (FGFR) and has been approved by the FDA for the clinical treatment of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis and systemic sclerosis. The investigator's preliminary animal study found that endometrial fibrosis was significantly reduced in mice with gastric feeding of nintedanib in uterine adhesion molds. This study aimed to clarify further the role of nintedanib in inhibiting endometrial fibrosis and its clinical application value.

Read the detailed description

The experiment will be divided into two groups based on the dose administered. After hysteroscopic surgery, one group will be given Nedanib 100mg bid orally for 15 days and the other group will be given Nedanib 150mg bid orally for 15 days. Hysteroscopic AFS scores and endometrial tissues before and after treatment will be collected for molecular biology experiments.

Being tested

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2/3 study testing Nintedanib 100 MG [Ofev] and Nintedanib 150 MG [Ofev] in people with Uterine Adhesions, run by Sixth Affiliated Hospital, Sun Yat-sen University.

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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 2 Dec 2022. 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. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this combined 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.

Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

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

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?

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?

American Fertility Association(AFS) score (mild:1-4,moderate:5-8,severe:9-12) (time frame: 3 months). 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 2 Dec 2022.
