ASIA-Mesh: a Pilot Study for Diagnostics and Treatment on ASIA Syndrome Caused by Polypropylene Mesh Implantation

Pelvic Organ Prolapse Clinical Trial

Official title:
Autoimmume/Inflammatory Syndrome Induced by Adjuvants (ASIA Syndrome) Caused by Polypropylene Mesh Implantation - a Pilot Study for Diagnostics and Treatment

Clinical Trial Summary

In the present pilot study, a possible relation between the implantation of PP mesh for inguinal hernia, vaginal prolapse and SUI repair and subsequent systemic auto-immune complaints is investigated by testing immunologic and allergic responses in fifty patients with suspected ASIA syndrome. Additional value of MAT is investigated and effectiveness of (partial) PP mesh removal for these complaints is assessed. If so, a profound insight in diagnostics and treatment for systematic complaints will be attained that may provide opportunities for future diagnostics.

Clinical Trial Description

Worldwide there is a lot of commotion about the effects and complications of various implants. In analogy to patients with silicone breast implants, some patients report various systemic complaints following inguinal polypropylene (PP) mesh implantation, suggesting 'Autoinflammatory/Autoimmunity Syndrome Induced by Adjuvants' (ASIA; Shoenfeld's syndrome) or some other suspected systemic auto-immune/inflammatory response. Although an evidence-based and causal relationship is lacking, patients report serious complaints. Therefore, the investigators recently started seeing these patients at the outpatient clinic and developed a diagnostic workup, including an elaborate anamnesis, conventional immunologic analyses and mesh allergy testing (MAT). Further, in case the implant is removed as part of the treatment due to a persistent wish of the patient, the PP explant will be histologically examined to find additional cues for an auto-immune/inflammatory response (and thus ASIA). So far, evidence on the optimal diagnostic workup for patients with suspected ASIA syndrome is lacking completely. ;
