This study aims to determine the efficacy of a quadratus lumborum (QL) block in decreasing postoperative pain in patients undergoing myomectomy for uterine fibroids. A QL block is a temporary anesthetic injection in the quadratus lumborum muscle, a muscle in the lower back, that has been previously shown to significantly reduce postoperative pain levels in patients undergoing abdominal and pelvic surgery. Because of its demonstrated effects, the QL block is becoming a standard of anesthesia and surgical care. Since participants will be undergoing a myomectomy procedure, the investigators believe that participants may qualify to participate in this study. The investigators will be comparing patients who receive the QL block (in addition to standard anesthesia and postoperative pain care) with patients who do not receive the QL block (in addition to standard care). The participants will be randomly assigned to one of the two groups and may or may not actually receive the block.

Currently, there is a nationwide epidemic of opioid abuse and overdose deaths. One source of excess opioids is overprescribing in the postoperative period. This study aims to find the optimal pain medication plan during and after laparoscopic hysterectomy to eliminate long-term opioid use. Given the increasing opioid abuse and over-prescription post-operatively, an effort should be made to determine whether one time dosing of Methadone, a longer opioid analgesics, intra-operatively is an adequate potential in treating postoperative pain after hysterectomy surgeries. The investigators hypothesize that this could minimize the need for additional post-operative and outpatient opioid prescriptions and decrease the adverse effects that are associated with the consumption, including new opioid abuse. Intervention group will receive methadone intraoperatively while the other group would receive short-acting opioids (standard).

Perfluten for Uterine Fibroids

Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
This study goals are to determine the patterns of uterine fibroid vascularity pre and post UAE using CEUS resulting in an alternative to gadolinium-enhanced MRI that is less expensive, has less contra-indications and side effects, is real time, and noninvasive helping physicians to evaluate the result of UAE procedures. Also, this study will evaluate uterine fibroid pressures using SHAPE, comparing the results with normal myometrium tissue in order to determine its characteristics and tissue differences, which we believe will lead to the development of a new biomarker for the diagnosis and treatment of uterine fibroids.

Uterine fibroids (leiomyomas, myomas, fibroids) are benign tumors of the uterus that can cause heavy menstrual bleeding, pain, and/or infertility. Fibroids can be managed with medication, surgery, or interventional radiology. While conservative methods that avoid surgical risks and complications are becoming more common, there are limitations to medical therapies including side effects, short durations of use, and incomplete response to treatment. To optimize patient outcomes, it is imperative clinicians and researchers better understand which patients may benefit from medical therapies and which may not. Fibroids with less blood supply can degenerate and take on a variety of histological characteristics (e.g. cystic, red, fatty, calcific) which may decrease response to medical management. These histological characteristics in degenerated fibroids correspond to altered mechanical properties, ranging from very soft to very hard. There is currently no guidance on how to predict medical responsiveness based on such fibroid characteristics. As a result, physicians treat patients empirically with medications, without the ability to counsel on effectiveness or failure rates. Our research goal is to understand if and how uterine fibroid tissue stiffness can predict response to medical therapies. To achieve this, the investigators will use a new ultrasound technology, called shear wave elastography (SWE), that non-invasively measures tissue stiffness and is currently used in practice for staging of chronic liver diseases; however, given that this technology is very new, evidence of its clinical application in gynecology is limited. Through implementing an innovative and multidisciplinary approach, the investigators will (1) systematically establish SWE as a feasible and reliable tool for measuring non-neoplastic myometrial and uterine fibroid tissue stiffness, and (2) use SWE to classify and monitor fibroid tissue properties in pre-menopausal women undergoing medical intervention for symptomatic uterine fibroids. Understanding the connection between pathological tissue properties and the success of medical therapies is essential to streamline assessment and intervention planning and improve overall patient outcomes for the many Canadian women who suffer from uterine fibroids.

The subject has a type of cancer or lymph gland disease associated with a virus called Epstein Barr Virus (EBV), which has come back, is at risk of coming back, or has not gone away after standard treatments. This research study uses special immune system cells called LMP, BARF-1 and EBNA1- specific cytotoxic T lymphocytes (MABEL CTLs). Some patients with Lymphoma (such as Hodgkin (HD) or non-Hodgkin Lymphoma (NHL)), T/NK-lymphoproliferative disease, or CAEBV, or solid tumors such as nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC), smooth muscle tumors, and leiomyosarcomas show signs of a virus called EBV before or at the time of their diagnosis. EBV causes mononucleosis or glandular fever ("mono" or the "kissing disease"). EBV is found in the cancer cells of up to half the patients with HD and NHL, suggesting that it may play a role in causing Lymphoma. The cancer cells (in lymphoma) and some immune system cells (in CAEBV) infected by EBV are able to hide from the body's immune system and escape destruction. EBV is also found in the majority of NPC and smooth muscle tumors, and some leiomyosarcomas. We want to see if special white blood cells (MABEL CTLs) that have been trained to kill EBV infected cells can survive in your blood and affect the tumor. In previous studies, EBV CTLs were generated from the blood of the patient, which was often difficult if the patient had recently received chemotherapy. Also, it took up to 1-2 months to make the cells, which is not practical when a patient needs more urgent treatment. To address these issues, the MABEL CTLs were made in the lab in a simpler, faster, and safer way. The MABEL CTLs will still see LMP proteins but also two other EBV proteins called EBNA-1 and BARF. To ensure these cells are available for use in patients in urgent clinical need, we have generated MABEL CTLs from the blood of healthy donors and created a bank of these cells, which are frozen until ready for use. We have previously successfully used frozen T cells from healthy donors to treat EBV lymphoma and virus infections and we now have improved our production method to make it faster. In this study, we want to find out if we can use banked MABEL CTLs to treat HD, NHL, T/NK-lymphoproliferative disease, CAEBV, NPC, smooth muscle tumors or leiomyosarcoma. We will search the bank to find a MABEL CTL line that is a partial match with the subject. MABEL CTLs are investigational and not approved by the Food and Drug Administration.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much do Fibroid clinical trials pay?

Each trial will compensate patients a different amount, but $50-100 for each visit is a fairly common range for Phase 2–4 trials (Phase 1 trials often pay substantially more). Further, most trials will cover the costs of a travel to-and-from the clinic.

How do Fibroid clinical trials work?

After a researcher reviews your profile, they may choose to invite you in to a screening appointment, where they'll determine if you meet 100% of the eligibility requirements. If you do, you'll be sorted into one of the treatment groups, and receive your study drug. For some trials, there is a chance you'll receive a placebo. Across Fibroid trials 30% of clinical trials have a placebo. Typically, you'll be required to check-in with the clinic every month or so. The average trial length for Fibroid is 12 months.

How do I participate in a study as a "healthy volunteer"?

Not all studies recruit healthy volunteers: usually, Phase 1 studies do. Participating as a healthy volunteer means you will go to a research facility several times over a few days or weeks to receive a dose of either the test treatment or a "placebo," which is a harmless substance that helps researchers compare results. You will have routine tests during these visits, and you'll be compensated for your time and travel, with the number of appointments and details varying by study.

What does the "phase" of a clinical trial mean?

The phase of a trial reveals what stage the drug is in to get approval for a specific condition. Phase 1 trials are the trials to collect safety data in humans. Phase 2 trials are those where the drug has some data showing safety in humans, but where further human data is needed on drug effectiveness. Phase 3 trials are in the final step before approval. The drug already has data showing both safety and effectiveness. As a general rule, Phase 3 trials are more promising than Phase 2, and Phase 2 trials are more promising than phase 1.

Do I need to be insured to participate in a Fibroid medical study ?

Clinical trials are almost always free to participants, and so do not require insurance. The only exception here are trials focused on cancer, because only a small part of the typical treatment plan is actually experimental. For these cancer trials, participants typically need insurance to cover all the non-experimental components.

What are the newest Fibroid clinical trials ?

Most recently, we added Methadone for Uterine Fibroids, Perfluten for Uterine Fibroids and Lifestyle Program for Endometrial Cancer Survivors to the Power online platform.
