ESS505 Pre-hysterectomy Protocol
- Conditions
- Contraception
- Registration Number
- NCT01664052
- Lead Sponsor
- Bayer
- Brief Summary
This study has been designed to evaluate an investigational model of the Essure System for Permanent Birth Control. The investigational device is designed to offer all the advantages of the currently approved device. In addition, the investigational device offers immediate, permanent contraception without a three-month waiting period or 90-day confirmation test. This study has been designed to evaluate the effectiveness of the investigational device in causing tubal occlusion from insert placement through three months of wearing.
- Detailed Description
This study has previously been posted by Conceptus, Inc. (US).
After acquiring Conceptus, Inc., Bayer HealthCare AG (Germany) is the sponsor of the trial.

- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Number of Occluded Fallopian Tubes 60 Minutes After Placement of the Insert as Measured by an HSG Evaluation 60 minutes after insert placement Hysterosalpingogram (HSG) is an x-ray of the uterus and fallopian tubes after the injection of a contrast material (dye). This test evaluates tubal occlusion.
Number of Occluded Fallopian Tubes 30 Days Following Placement as Measured by an HSG Evaluation 30 days after insert placement Hysterosalpingogram (HSG) is an x-ray of the uterus and fallopian tubes after the injection of a contrast material (dye). This test evaluates tubal occlusion. ESS505 and ESS505-A inserts are designed with the addition of an articulated hydrogel plug bonded to the distal portion of the insert with surgical grade adhesive and a nitinol support wire that remains inside the distal inner coil.
