OCL 500 Treatment of Women With Symptomatic Uterine Fibroids
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
This is a prospective, open-label, single-arm, safety and effectiveness study of Occlusin 500 microspheres in women with symptomatic uterine fibroids.

Detailed Description
Prior to entering the study, all patients will undergo pre-study assessments including compliance with inclusion and exclusion criteria, laboratory assessments, pelvic examination, and imaging of the pelvis. Following conventional catheter angiography to confirm catheter placement and the uterine vasculature, each patient will undergo transarterial embolization with Occlusin 500 microspheres.
Study Design
Arms and Interventions
Arm | Intervention/Treatment |
---|---|
Experimental: Occlusin 500 microspheres Uterine fibroid embolization |
Device: Occlusin 500 Microspheres
Occlusin 500 microspheres will be administered using a catheter directed to the uterine vasculature using fluoroscopy. The microsphere suspension will be administered to a near-stasis endpoint.
