Study of senescent cells in uterine fibroids
Part of Cancer clinical trials.
This study looks at how aging cells in the uterus may cause fibroids. Researchers will collect tissue and blood samples to understand fibroid growth better.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This trial tests if the drug letrozole can improve symptoms like heavy bleeding and pelvic pain caused by uterine fibroids. You must be premenopausal with moderate to severe symptoms and not have very large fibroids or certain other conditions.
This study tests a new way to take a small tissue sample from uterine fibroids using ultrasound guidance through the vagina. It aims to see if this method is safe and effective for diagnosing fibroid tumors before surgery.
This study looks at how uterine fibroids affect the natural bacteria and immune defenses in the vagina and cervix. It may help researchers understand why fibroids develop and how to better treat them.
This is a questionnaire-based study that looks at how common uterine fibroids are and what factors may be linked to them. Your answers may help researchers understand risk patterns and improve future prevention and care.
This study is looking at women who have unusual bleeding or bleeding after menopause to find better ways to diagnose reproductive cancers like endometrial cancer. If you are 45 or older and still have your uterus, you may be able to help.
This trial tests a new ultrasound-guided biopsy technique through the vagina to get tissue samples from uterine fibroids or smooth muscle tumors. It aims to see if this method is safer and more accurate than standard approaches.
