NCT01664052

Brief Summary

This study has been designed to evaluate an investigational model of the Essure System for Permanent Birth Control. The investigational device is designed to offer all the advantages of the currently approved device. In addition, the investigational device offers immediate, permanent contraception without a three-month waiting period or 90-day confirmation test. This study has been designed to evaluate the effectiveness of the investigational device in causing tubal occlusion from insert placement through three months of wearing.

Conditions

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (4)

  • Number of Occluded Fallopian Tubes 60 Minutes After Placement of the Insert as Measured by an HSG Evaluation

    Hysterosalpingogram (HSG) is an x-ray of the uterus and fallopian tubes after the injection of a contrast material (dye). This test evaluates tubal occlusion.

    60 minutes after insert placement

  • Number of Occluded Fallopian Tubes 30 Days Following Placement as Measured by an HSG Evaluation

    Hysterosalpingogram (HSG) is an x-ray of the uterus and fallopian tubes after the injection of a contrast material (dye). This test evaluates tubal occlusion. ESS505 and ESS505-A inserts are designed with the addition of an articulated hydrogel plug bonded to the distal portion of the insert with surgical grade adhesive and a nitinol support wire that remains inside the distal inner coil.

    30 days after insert placement

  • Number of Occluded Fallopian Tubes 60 Days Following Placement as Measured by an HSG Evaluation

    Hysterosalpingogram (HSG) is an x-ray of the uterus and fallopian tubes after the injection of a contrast material (dye). This test evaluates tubal occlusion. ESS505 and ESS505-A inserts are designed with the addition of an articulated hydrogel plug bonded to the distal portion of the insert with surgical grade adhesive and a nitinol support wire that remains inside the distal inner coil.

    60 days after insert placement

  • Number of Occluded Fallopian Tubes 90 Days Following Placement as Measured by an HSG Evaluation

    Hysterosalpingogram (HSG) is an x-ray of the uterus and fallopian tubes after the injection of a contrast material (dye). This test evaluates tubal occlusion. ESS505 and ESS505-A inserts are designed with the addition of an articulated hydrogel plug bonded to the distal portion of the insert with surgical grade adhesive and a nitinol support wire that remains inside the distal inner coil.

Study Arms (2)

ESS505-A (Essure, BAY1454033)

EXPERIMENTAL

Bilateral hysteroscopic placement of the permanent birth control system, Model ESS505 insert with minimal polyethylene terephthalate (PET) fibers (investigational device model ESS505-A) followed by tubal occlusion evaluation by hysterosalpingogram (HSG) approximately 60 minutes following insert placement. A subsequent HSG was performed prior to the subjects' scheduled hysterectomy procedures at 30 (group 3), 60 (group 2) or 90 days (group 1) post insert placement.

Device: ESS505-A (Essure, BAY1454033)

ESS 305/ESS 505 (Essure, BAY1454032/Essure, BAY1454033)

EXPERIMENTAL

Unilateral hysteroscopic placement of the permanent birth control system, Model ESS505 insert inclusive of polyethylene terephthalate (PET) fibers (investigational device model ESS505) and contralateral placement of the current commercially approved Essure device, model ESS305 followed by tubal occlusion evaluation by hysterosalpingogram (HSG) approximately 60 minutes following insert placement. A subsequent HSG was performed prior to the subjects' scheduled hysterectomy procedures at 30 (group 3), 60 (group 2) or 90 days (group 1) post insert placement. At the conclusion of the hysterectomy, the uterine cornua and fallopian tubes were sent to a pathology lab for histological preparation, and subsequent evaluation.

Interventions
