Study summary

Using American Fertility Society classification of intrauterine adhesions, the efficacy of a new crosslinked hyaluronan gel in reducing intrauterine adhesion formation after dilatation and curettage for delayed miscarriage in women without previous dilatation and curettage was examined.

Read the detailed description

Study Objectives: To evaluate the efficacy of a new crosslinked hyaluronan gel in reducing intrauterine adhesions formation after dilatation and curettage.

Design: Randomized controlled trial. Settings: Six hospitals for maternal and child health care in China. Patients: Three hundred women undergoing dilatation and curettage for delayed miscarriage without previous dilatation and curettage.

Interventions: Women were randomly assigned into either dilatation and curettage alone group or dilatation and curettage plus new crosslinked hyaluronan gel application group with 1:1 allocation.

Measurements and Outcomes: All patients were evaluated using American Fertility Society classification of IUAs during the follow-up diagnostic hysteroscopy, scheduled 3 months after dilatation and curettage procedure. The primary outcome was the number of women with IUAs, and the secondary outcome was the adhesion scores and the severity of IUAs.

Eligibility criteria

The inclusion criteria:

  • Patients to be female, aged 18-45 years
  • Without previous dilatation and curettage
  • Undergoing dilatation and curettage for the current delayed miscarriage
  • All participants should be with normal liver/rental function and without systemic disease
  • Agree to use adequate forms of throughout the study
  • Be in good compliance with the follow-up examination according to the study protocol.

The exclusion criteria:

  • Known/suspected intolerance or to hyaluronan or its derivatives
  • Genital tract malformation
  • Inflammation of genital tract or pelvic cavity, clinical evidence of cancer in genital tract
  • Suspected genital tuberculosis
  • Abnormal blood coagulation
  • Medical histories of peripheral vascular disease, alcohol/drug abuse, and mental illness
  • Acute or severe infection
  • diseases.
Terms in these criteria, in plain language(3)

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.

Contraception

Ways of preventing pregnancy. “Highly effective” methods fail less than 1% of the time a year when used correctly — for example an IUD or an implant.

Criteria usually say which methods count and how long to keep using them after the last dose, sometimes for male participants too. Some studies accept a partner’s vasectomy if it was confirmed successful and that person is the participant’s only sexual partner.

Hypersensitivity

An allergy, or another reaction of the immune system, to a substance. “Hypersensitivity to the study drug” means a known allergic reaction to it — not every side effect a medicine can have.

Autoimmune disease

A condition in which the immune system attacks the body’s own tissues, such as rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, psoriasis, type 1 diabetes or inflammatory bowel disease.

Immunotherapy studies often leave out active autoimmune disease, and some name exceptions, such as thyroid disease on replacement hormone. Check the exceptions this study lists.

Study arms

  • Experimental
    Treatment

    At the end of the dilatation and curettage, new crosslinked hyaluronan gel (3ml) was applied to the uterine cavity in women assigned to the treatment group through a 15-cm sterile cannula.

    Device: new crosslinked hyaluronan gel

  • No intervention
    Control

    At the end of the dilatation and curettage, nothing was applied to the uterine cavity in women assigned to the control group.

Interventions

  • Devicenew crosslinked hyaluronan gel

    At the end of the dilatation and curettage, new crosslinked hyaluronan gel was applied to the uterine cavity.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Incidence of intrauterine adhesion

    The number of women with intrauterine adhesion

    Time frame: 3 months after dilatation and curettage

Secondary outcomes

  1. The adhesion scores of extent of uterine cavity involved

    Evaluated according to American Fertility Society classification of intrauterine adhesion during the follow-up diagnostic hysteroscopy: 1 point (\<1/3 cavity with adhesion), 2 points (1/3-2/3 cavity with adhesion) and 4 points (\>2/3 cavity with adhesion), high values represent worse outcome

    Time frame: 3 months after dilatation and curettage

  2. The adhesion scores of type of adhesion

    Evaluated according to American Fertility Society classification of intrauterine adhesion during the follow-up diagnostic hysteroscopy: 1 point (filmy adhesion), 2 points (filmy \& dense adhesion) and 4 points (dense adhesion), high values represent worse outcome

    Time frame: 3 months after dilatation and curettage

  3. The adhesion scores of menstrual pattern

    Evaluated according to American Fertility Society classification of intrauterine adhesion during the follow-up diagnostic hysteroscopy: 0 point (normal), 2 points (hypomenorrhea) and 4 points (amenorrhea), high values represent worse outcome

    Time frame: 3 months after dilatation and curettage

  4. Cumulative adhesion score

    The summed score of the adhesion scores of extent of uterine cavity involved, type of adhesion and menstrual pattern; range: 1-12 points, high values represent worse outcome

    Time frame: 3 months after dilatation and curettage

  5. Severity

    Graded according to cumulative adhesion score: Stage I (mild)(1-4 points), Stage II (moderate)(5-8 points) and Stage III (severe)(9-12 points).

    Time frame: 3 months after dilatation and curettage

Timeline

Tracking since Sep 25, 2026
ElapsedEstimatedEstimated, not yet reachedSimilar studies: half by the dot; the band is the middle halfHalf of similar studies reached it by the dot; the band is the middle half, from a quarter to three quarters

Ran from Jul 2016 to primary completion in Feb 2017, 7 months.

Of 46 interventional studies with no phase under Gynatresia, half reached primary completion within 23 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 14 and three quarters within 77. This study's 7 months is below that.

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on Nov 27, 2017, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
