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
EXPERIMENTALPatients in this arm will receive MR-HIFU uterine fibroid treatment
Interventions
A single treatment session for uterine fibroids with the MR-HIFU device.
Eligibility Criteria
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
