Trial Outcomes & Findings for Clinical Study of the Mirabilis High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound System for Non-Invasive Treatment of Uterine Fibroids (NCT NCT01946178)

NCT ID: NCT01946178

Last Updated: 2017-05-30

Results Overview

Safety of the treatment was determined by evaluating the incidence of Adverse Events and Adverse Device Effects. Adverse Device Effects are Adverse Events that are related to treatment with the device. Relatedness of an Adverse Event to the treatment was determined on a case-by-case basis by the investigator. The average number of Serious Adverse Device Effects per patient and the average number of Non-Serious Adverse Device Effects per patient are reported to provide numeric outcomes of this evaluation.

Participant Flow

All patients underwent transabdominal uterine fibroid treatment with the Mirabilis High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound Treatment System between January 8, 2011 and November 21, 2014 at two clinical sites in Mexico. The study was completed on May 20, 2015.

Patients were screened prior to treatment for eligibility criteria including size, location, and tissue characteristics of their uterine fibroid(s). Those patients meeting the established eligibility criteria were then scheduled for treatment.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Adverse Events were monitored until the patient's exit from the study (up to 6 months post-treatment).

Population: All Adverse Device Effects are reported for the entire study population (all treated patients).

Safety of the treatment was determined by evaluating the incidence of Adverse Events and Adverse Device Effects. Adverse Device Effects are Adverse Events that are related to treatment with the device. Relatedness of an Adverse Event to the treatment was determined on a case-by-case basis by the investigator. The average number of Serious Adverse Device Effects per patient and the average number of Non-Serious Adverse Device Effects per patient are reported to provide numeric outcomes of this evaluation.

Validation Cohort With NPVs Observed
The Validation Cohort includes the last 36 patients treated in the study sequence. Treatments in the Validation Cohort were used to refine and validate the final HIFU parameters for uterine fibroid treatment with the device. Outcomes are reported for the 35 out of 36 patients (97.2%) in the Validation Cohort with NPVs observed following treatment. Overall, 68 out of 73 patients (93.2%) in the entire study had NPVs observed following treatment.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: The NPV was measured between 0 and 7 days post-treatment.

Population: HIFU-related Non-Perfused Volumes (NPVs) are reported for all treated patients in whom they were observed following treatment. NPV outcomes are stratified between two cohorts: an early Development Cohort and a final Validation Cohort.

Efficacy of the treatment was quantified by measuring the HIFU-related Non-Perfused Volume (NPV) of tissue in each patient using either post-treatment contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) or pathology assessment following hysterectomy. The NPV is used to measure the amount of tissue that was treated during the procedure.

POST_HOC outcome

Timeframe: The total treatment time was measured on the day of treatment.

Population: Total treatment times are reported for all treated patients. Total treatment times are stratified between two cohorts: an early Development Cohort and a final Validation Cohort.

The total treatment time was measured for each patient from the beginning of HIFU energy emission until HIFU energy emission stopped.
