Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The objective of this study is to understand the mechanisms of rejection in uterine transplantation and to search for non-invasive markers of rejection. The biological samples necessary for our research have been or will be collected during procedures (biopsies, smears, vaginal swab, blood tests) carried out as part of the scheduled follow-up of patients. These will be samples whose collection is minimally or not invasive

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

In the context of uterine transplantation, non-invasive rejection markers will be sought by different approaches, including transcriptomics on a prospective cohort of patients with different types of samples: blood, smear and biopsy. A microbiota study will also be carried out. 3 groups will be studied: 1 group of 10 patients benefiting or having benefited from a uterine transplant, 1 second group made up of their 10 donors, 1 group of 10 control women

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Graft recipient

During each of the visits carried out with a cervical biopsy as part of the uterine transplant project, samples will be taken.

Group Type OTHER

Specimens

Intervention Type OTHER

Specimens (blood, biopsy, cervical smear, vaginal swab)

Living donor

The donors will benefit from a blood sample and a sample of the vaginal microbiota during the transplant under general anesthesia or after it during a consultation scheduled as part of the uterine transplant protocol.

Group Type OTHER

Specimens

Intervention Type OTHER

Specimens (blood, biopsy, cervical smear, vaginal swab)

Witness

10 non-menopausal control patients will each have a cervical biopsy (at different times of the cycle) and a smear, samples of the vaginal microbiota and a blood sample. Among the 10 controls, 4 patients will have to undergo a hysterectomy for which multiple staged biopsies and samples uterine microbiota will be produced.
