Uterine Fibroids clinical trials at University of California Health
5 in progress, 1 open to eligible people
Prescription of Letrozole for Uterine Myoma
open to eligible females ages 21-53
The PLUM Study is a randomized, double-blinded, 2-arm, parallel-group, placebo-controlled trial is designed to compare the efficacy of letrozole versus placebo on leiomyoma-related symptoms and quality of life as well as leiomyoma and uterine size.

Addition of Steroids on Duration of Analgesia
Sorry, in progress, not accepting new patients
The purpose of the study is to investigate the differences in post-procedural pain scores and narcotic use among patients who receive a Superior Hypogastric Nerve Block (SHNB) with and without corticosteroid performed as part of the Uterine Artery Embolization (UAE) procedure.

Post Market TRUST - U.S.A. Study
Sorry, in progress, not accepting new patients
This Post Market study is being conducted to compare the direct and indirect cost of three approaches (GFA, myomectomy, and uterine artery embolization) for the treatment of symptomatic uterine fibroids. In addition, data from this study is being used to satisfy the requirements of the United States Food and Drug Administration's 522 (post market surveillance) order.

Ascertaining Longterm Outcomes of Fibroid Treatments
Sorry, accepting new patients by invitation only
The goal of the ALOFT study is to understand the health of women in the 12 years following a uterine fibroid (UF) treatment. ALOFT is a multi-center, prospective, observational cohort study of approximately 700 women who have undergone uterine-sparing treatment procedures for UF and previously participated in the longitudinal studies COMPARE-UF (NCT02260752) or ULTRA (NCT02100904). The primary uterine sparing treatment procedures undergone by study participants are myomectomy, endometrial ablation (EA), uterine artery embolization (UAE) and laparoscopic radiofrequency ablation (RFA). A smaller number of women may be studied who underwent focused ultrasound, intrauterine device (IUD), and medical management. Two follow-up study contacts with COMPARE-UF and ULTRA participants will occur to assess changes in UF symptoms and treatment failure which is defined as the need for another UF treatment procedure. Questionnaires will be used to collect data on patient-reported characteristics and outcomes and quality of life. The study's analyses will focus on comparisons of primary and secondary outcomes among women.

Uterine Leiomyoma Treatment With Radiofrequency Ablation (ULTRA) Registry
Sorry, in progress, not accepting new patients
The ULTRA Registry is a nationwide observational arm of the ULTRA trial. Data from the ULTRA Registry will be used to evaluate the long-term safety and efficacy of laparoscopic RF ablation (Acessa). The ULTRA Registry will recruit women age 21 or older who plan to undergo or have undergone laparoscopic RF ablation (Acessa) or myomectomy within the United States. Participants will be recruited through study materials distributed at clinical offices across the country where gynecologists are performing laparoscopic RF ablation (Acessa). Study participants will consent to participate in a 3 year prospective study conducted by UCSF but the fibroid procedure will be performed by the study participants' own gynecologist. We will evaluate changes in fibroid-related symptoms from pre-treatment values to 6, 12, 18, 24, 30, and 36 months after RFA (Acessa). We will determine long-term efficacy of RFA (Acessa) by evaluating the rate of re-treatment for symptomatic fibroids after the RFA (Acessa) procedure versus myomectomy. Participants will be asked for permission to review their medical records to assess surgical and pregnancy outcomes. UC San Francisco will have oversight of all scientific and administrative aspects of the study. All study data will be stored securely in a HIPAA compliant, secure database monitored by the UC San Francisco Coordinating Center.
