Clinical Trial Summary

This is a prospective multi-center interventional study that will be performed in an effort to assess the diagnostic accuracy performance of preoperative vaginal ultrasound-guided biopsy (VUGB) to detect the exact histology of uterine tumors and thereafter triage cases being eligible for morcellation during laparoscopic resection. Ten tertiary French centers will participate in the present study.


Description:

Prior to carrying out the research, the informed consent of the person must be obtained after being informed of the purpose of the research, its conduct and duration, benefits, potential risks and constraints of the study.

During the inclusion check-up, exams must be performed within 30 days before the guided echo biopsy: clinical examination, gynecological examination, pain assessment (visual or verbal scale), biological and radiological assessment (Doppler ultrasound Pelvis and MRI pelvis).

The echo-guided biopsy will be performed by a specialized radiologist by transvaginal and exclusive transuterine approach. Local anesthesia will be performed. A pain assessment will be performed during the biopsy (visual or verbal scale).

Between the biopsy and the procedure, the patient will be reviewed by the investigating surgeon to check the outcome of the biopsy, any pain or complications of the biopsy.

The surgical procedure will be performed by laparotomy and will consist of an extra-facial hysterectomy without fragmentation of the surgical specimen (extraction technique "in block"). During the procedure, the investigating surgeon will perform a description of the abdominal and pelvic cavity and perform a block excision of the tumor.

At one month of the surgery, patient will be reviewed by the investigating surgeon for a postoperative visit with clinical examination, gynecological and histopathological results.

Thereafter, the follow-up of the patients will be carried out according to the standards of care according to the histopathological results.

Outcome

Type Measure Description Time frame Safety issue
Primary Sensitivity (Se) of preoperative vaginal ultrasound-guided biopsy (VUGB) in the pathological diagnosis of suspected sarcoma uterine tumors. Sensitivity is the proportion of patients with malignant/STUMP result on the local reading of biopsy (index test) divided by the number of patients with malignant/STUMP result on the local reading of surgical specimen (reference standard). Primary outcome assessment will be based on the local reading. After surgery, an average of 2 months after inclusion
Secondary Specificity (Sp) of VUGB in the pathological diagnosis of suspected sarcoma uterine tumors. Specificity is the proportion of patients with benign result on the local reading of biopsy divided by the number of patients with benign result on the local reading of surgical specimen. After surgery, an average of 2 months after inclusion
Secondary Accuracy of VUGB in the pathological diagnosis of suspected sarcoma uterine tumors. Accuracy is the proportion of patients with true results: true positives (TP) + true negatives (TN) divided by number of cases. Accuracy ranges from 0 (100% false positives and false negatives) to 1 (100% true positives and true negatives). Assessment will be based on the local reading.
