HOME Study: Hysteroscopic Office Myomectomy Evaluation

Approximately one hundred subjects will be enrolled in a randomized, comparative setting study conducted at 10-15 investigational sites. Sixty subjects will be randomized to undergo treatment in an office setting, and 40 subjects will be randomized to undergo treatment in a hospital or ambulatory surgical center (ASC) setting. Subjects will undergo a hysteroscopic tissue removal procedure to remove intrauterine polyps, type 0 fibroids, or type I fibroids. Saline infused sonohysterogram images (SIS) obtained at three months post treatment will be compared to pre-treatment images, to determine the percent reduction in target pathology volume. Additionally, subject self-reported pain scores (as rated on an 11 point scale) will compare pain occurring during the treatment procedure to the average pain level experienced during a PAP smear. Economic data will be collected and compared between the two treatment settings.
