Application of Hyalobarrier® gel endo immediate after the complete hysteroscopic removal of the polyp, myoma, adhesion, uterine septum or retained products of conception + application of sterile ultrasound gel into the vagina (to blind all trial participants, fertility physicians and gynaecologists doing second-look hysteroscopy)

No application of Hyalobarrier® gel endo after the hysteroscopic removal of the polyp, myoma, adhesion, uterine septum or retained products of conception + application of sterile ultrasound gel into the vagina (to blind all trial participants, fertility physicians and gynaecologists doing second- or third-look hysteroscopy)

Intra-uterine application of 10ml sterile gel containing 30mg APC. It will be administered once, peroperatively immediate after the complete hysteroscopic removal of the polyp, myoma, adhesion, uterine septum or retained products of conception

Hyalobarrier® gel endo

Steven Weyers, MD,PhD

To compare the costs and effects of HYALOBARRIER® GEL ENDO versus no HYALOBARRIER® GEL ENDO for increasing the chance of conception leading to live birth measured at 30 weeks after randomization in women wishing to become pregnant after surgical removal of intrauterine pathology (endometrial polyps, fibroids with uterine cavity deformation, uterine septa, IUAs or RPOC after miscarriage) by hysteroscopy as an outpatient or in hospital treatment.

Design:

Multi-centre, parallel group, superiority, double-blind, randomized controlled trial. Post market study of a Medical Device class III.

Participant:

Women aged 18 to 47 years attending Belgian gynaecological departments, scheduled for operative hysteroscopy for endometrial polyps, fibroids with uterine cavity deformation, uterine septa, intrauterine adhesions (IUAs) or retained products of conception, and wishing to conceive spontaneously or before fertility treatment with ovulation induction (OI), controlled ovarian stimulation (COS), intrauterine insemination (IUI) or IVF/ICSI.

Treatment:

Application of Hyalobarrier® gel endo at time of surgery

Control:

No application of Hyalobarrier® gel endo

Follow up:

short term follow-up: 30 weeks after receiving the treatment allocation long term follow-up: 66 weeks after receiving the treatment allocation

To blind all trial participants, fertility physicians and gynaecologists doing second- or third-look hysteroscopy, 10 ml of a sterile ultrasound gel will be applied into the vagina at the end of the procedure in all women regardless of their treatment allocation.

None of the participants will be informed of the allocated treatment by the surgeon performing the operative hysteroscopy or the personnel present in the OR. The medical record will not reveal any information whether HYALOBARRIER® GEL ENDO was applied at the end of the procedure. The REDCap software will automatically document the allocation and store all the records and the randomisations. The gynaecologist doing the operative hysteroscopy should not be the same as the fertility physician and the gynaecologist doing the second look hysteroscopy. In the exceptional case that the surgeon doing the operative hysteroscopy is the same person as the fertility physician or the gynaecologist doing the second-look hysteroscopy, blinding is assured by notification of treatment allocation if the surgeon has left the operating room.

HYALOBARRIER® GEL ENDO Versus no HYALOBARRIER® GEL ENDO Following Operative Hysteroscopy for Improving Reproductive Outcome in Women With Intrauterine Pathology Wishing to Become Pregnant

The Cost-effectiveness of Anti-adhesion Treatment With HYALOBARRIER® GEL ENDO Versus no Gel Following the Removal by Hysteroscopy of Endometrial Polyps, Fibroids With Uterine Cavity Deformation, Uterine Septa, Intrauterine Adhesions or Retained Products of Conception for Improving Reproductive Outcome in Women Wishing to Become Pregnant: a Multi-centre, Parallel Group, Superiority, Double-blind, Randomized Controlled Trial

the amount of clinical pregnancies at 30 weeks after randomisation, leading to live birth (at least one live foetus after 20 weeks of gestation, that resulted in at least one live baby (the investigators counted the delivery of singleton, twin or multiple pregnancies as one live birth)

the time from receiving the allocated treatment to the date of conception

a spontaneous loss of pregnancy before 20 completed weeks of gestational age, or if gestational age is unknown, the loss of an embryo/fetus of less than 400 grams

a pregnancy in which implantation takes place outside the uterine cavity

The severity will be scored according to the revised American Fertility Society (AFS) scoring system

Pre-eclampsia in women who conceived during the study period, leading to an ongoing pregnancy beyond 20 weeks of gestation

Preterm birth in women who conceived during the study period, leading to an ongoing pregnancy beyond 20 weeks of gestation

Stillbirth in women who conceived during the study period, leading to an ongoing pregnancy beyond 20 weeks of gestation

low/very low birth weight (gram) in women who conceived during the study period, leading to an ongoing pregnancy beyond 20 weeks of gestation

caesarean section rates in women who conceived during the study period, leading to an ongoing pregnancy beyond 20 weeks of gestation
