Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

  • Change in fibroid volume

    Proportion of patients with treated fibroid volume at 6 months after treatment reduced to 90% or less of treated fibroid volume at baseline (before MR-HIFU treatment)

    At baseline and at 6 months after treatment

  • Adverse Events

    Number of Adverse Events reported as resulting from MR-HIFU treatment

    Within 6 months after treatment

Study Arms (1)

MR-HIFU Treatment

EXPERIMENTAL

Patients in this arm will receive MR-HIFU uterine fibroid treatment

Device: MR-HIFU uterine fibroid treatment

Interventions

A single treatment session for uterine fibroids with the MR-HIFU device.

Also known as: Philips Sonalleve MR-HIFU
MR-HIFU Treatment

Eligibility Criteria

Age18 Years - 55 Years
Sexfemale
Healthy VolunteersNo
Age GroupsAdult (18-64)

You may qualify if:

  • Women, age between 18 and 55 years
  • Weight \< 140 kg
  • Pre- or peri-menopausal
  • Uterine size \< 24 weeks
  • Cervical cell assessment by Pap smear/Thin-prep Cytologic Test (TCT): Normal, Low Grade Squamous Intraepithelial Lesion (SIL), Low risk Human Papillomavirus (HPV) or Atypical Squamous Cells of Uncertain Significance (ASCUS) subtypes of cervical tissue
  • Fibroids selected for treatment meeting the following criteria:
  • Total planned ablation volume of all fibroids should not exceed 250 ml, and
  • No more than 5 fibroids should be planned for ablation, and
  • Dominant fibroid (diameter) is greater than or equal to 3 cm, and
  • Fibroids which are completely non-enhancing under Magnetic Resonance (MR) contrast agent should not be treated as the identification of treated volume becomes ambiguous
  • Highly perfused or brighter than myometrium in T2-weighted MRI (according to the T2 contrast obtained using the Philips MR-HIFU protocol) fibroids should not be treated
  • MR-HIFU device accessibility to fibroids such that at least 50% of the total fibroid volume can be treated
  • Willing and able to attend all study visits

You may not qualify if:

  • Other pelvic disease (Other mass, endometriosis, ovarian tumor, acute pelvic disease, significant adenomyosis)
  • Desire for future pregnancy
  • Significant systemic disease, even if controlled
  • Positive pregnancy test
  • Hematocrit \< 25%
  • Extensive scarring along anterior lower abdominal wall (\> 50% of area)
  • Surgical clips in the direct path of the HIFU beam
  • MRI contraindicated
  • MRI contrast agent contraindicated
  • Fibroids not quantifiable on MRI (e.g. multi-fibroid cases where volume measurements are not feasible)
  • Calcifications around or throughout uterine tissues
  • Communication barrier
  • Suspected malignancy
