Cutaneous leiomyomas are benign tumors of smooth muscle origin. They can be very painful, and current treatments for the tumors and for the associated pain do not produce satisfactory results. One potential treatment for localized severe muscle pain involves injections with botulinum toxin A. This study will investigate the effectiveness, side effects, and dosage of botulinum toxin A (BOTOX) as a treatment for patients with pain associated with cutaneous leiomyomas. This study will include 18 subjects, all of whom will be 18 years of age and older, who have pain associated with cutaneous leiomyomas. For the 24-week study, patients will be randomly assigned to one of two treatment groups. Neither the study team nor the patient will know to which group patients have been assigned. Before the study begins, all participants must provide a full medical history for research and evaluation purposes, fill out pain and quality-of-life questionnaires, and undergo an ice test in which researchers will apply ice to the site of the cutaneous leiomyomas and ask participants to evaluate the level of pain before and after ice application. Both groups will be required to keep a pain diary throughout the study to record their level of pain on a daily basis, and will be asked to avoid or restrict the use of specific medications or other remedies to treat the pain. At the first visit (Week 0), one group will receive a prescribed dose of botulinum toxin A, which will be administered as an injection into the leiomyoma, and the other (control) group will receive a placebo injection of a saline solution. Patients will return 4 weeks later, at which time they will undergo a medical examination, and the ice test, and complete questionnaires to assess responses and level of pain. Patients will return in Week 12, at which time the group assignment will be revealed (un-blinded) to investigators and patients. Patients who received placebo injections will be offered the opportunity to receive injection of botulinum toxin A into their leiomyomas. All patients will undergo a medical examination, the ice test, complete questionnaires, and continue completing their daily pain diaries at home. The final visit, in Week 24, will follow the same procedure as the Week 4 visit. At the end of the study, patients may be eligible to have one or more of the painful cutaneous leiomyomas surgically removed if the researchers believe that the skin lesions can be removed with a reasonable cosmetic result.

Uterine leiomyomas, commonly called fibroids, are a major health concern for women of reproductive age. The objectives of the study described herein are to investigate the growth dynamics of uterine leiomyomas in a clinically relevant population of women. We will test the hypotheses that uterine leiomyomas are heterogeneous in terms of their growth characteristics and in their clinical symptoms or outcomes, and that differences in leiomyoma growth dynamics can be discriminated by molecular markers and cellular phenotypes. Participants will include 300 premenopausal women (greater than 18 years old) with at least one uterine leiomyoma. The inclusion criteria for patient enrollment is confirmed diagnosis of leiomyoma by ultrasound. At least one leiomyoma must be equal to or greater than 2 cm in diameter and the uterus must be enlarged to the size typical during the eigth week of pregnancy. After enrollment and informed consent, T1- and T2-weighted magnetic resonance image (MRI) scans will be conducted beginning at the first visit and then at 3, 6, and 12 months. Each patient will have a physical exam, provide urine and blood samples at each MRI visit, and respond to an initial extensive telephone-administered questionnaire followed by abbreviated monthly questionnaire updates. A number of the enrolled women will require surgical intervention (hysterectomy/myomectomy) as standard care. If surgery is an outcome for women enrolled in the study, MRI will be conducted before surgery and the surgical pathologist will map uterine leiomyomas for comparison to MRI. Leiomyoma samples will be analyzed for histopathological and molecular changes correlated with growth. Because hysterectomy and myomectomy are common outcomes in women with leiomyomas, we anticipate tissue will be available from at least 100 of the 300 women in the study. For those women who opt for surgery, we will also administer a brief (less than 5 minute) questionnaire clarifying their reason for electing surgery. Upon completion of data collection, we will be able to compare leiomyoma growth as a function of multiplicity and location; examine the relationship between leiomyoma growth and clinical symptoms or outcome; identify molecular, cellular, and pathological characteristics of leiomyomas with differing growth dynamics; and examine endocrinological parameters and lifestyle factors related to differential growth dynamics of uterine leiomyomas. The data may be used to establish a clinical severity scale and establish diagnostic markers currently not available for uterine leiomyomas.
The purpose of this trial is to determine if low-dose mifepristone benefits women with symptomatic fibroids.
This study goals are to determine the patterns of uterine fibroid vascularity pre and post UAE using CEUS resulting in an alternative to gadolinium-enhanced MRI that is less expensive, has less contra-indications and side effects, is real time, and noninvasive helping physicians to evaluate the result of UAE procedures. Also, this study will evaluate uterine fibroid pressures using SHAPE, comparing the results with normal myometrium tissue in order to determine its characteristics and tissue differences, which we believe will lead to the development of a new biomarker for the diagnosis and treatment of uterine fibroids.
The goal of the ALOFT study is to understand the health of women in the 12 years following a uterine fibroid (UF) treatment. ALOFT is a multi-center, prospective, observational cohort study of approximately 700 women who have undergone uterine-sparing treatment procedures for UF and previously participated in the longitudinal studies COMPARE-UF (NCT02260752) or ULTRA (NCT02100904). The primary uterine sparing treatment procedures undergone by study participants are myomectomy, endometrial ablation (EA), uterine artery embolization (UAE) and laparoscopic radiofrequency ablation (RFA). A smaller number of women may be studied who underwent focused ultrasound, intrauterine device (IUD), and medical management. Two follow-up study contacts with COMPARE-UF and ULTRA participants will occur to assess changes in UF symptoms and treatment failure which is defined as the need for another UF treatment procedure. Questionnaires will be used to collect data on patient-reported characteristics and outcomes and quality of life. The study's analyses will focus on comparisons of primary and secondary outcomes among women.

Uterine Fibroids (UF) are benign smooth muscle neoplasms of the uterus that affect women of reproductive age. UFs are one of the leading causes of hospitalizations for gynecological disorders and often lead to hysterectomy. In this study, women with heavy menstrual bleeding (HMB) due to UF who are being treated with Oriahnn will be followed to establish the incidence rate, time to onset, extent, pattern, and resolution of meaningful hair loss, as well as any racial differences. Oriahnn is an approved drug for the management of HMB associated with UF. All study participants will receive Oriahnn as prescribed by their study doctor in accordance with approved local label. Study Participants will be followed for up 24 months (part 1). Approximately 1600 participants aged 18-50 years will be enrolled at 1 site in the United States. Participants will receive oral Oriahnn as prescribed by their physician according to their routine clinical practice and local label. Participants will be followed for 24 months. There is expected to be no additional burden for participants in this trial. Participants will complete questionnaires on a quarterly basis.

Uterine Fibroids (UF) are noncancerous (benign) tumors that commonly occur in up to 80% of women of reproductive age. Symptoms can include heavy menstrual bleeding (HMB), low back pain, urinary frequency and urgency, gastrointestinal symptoms, and fatigue. In participants with UF, this study will prospectively assess changes in patient-reported quality of life and patient-reported effectiveness in controlling HMB when treated with elagolix, estradiol, and norethindrone acetate capsules; elagolix capsules (elagolix + E2/NETA). Around 200 adult premenopausal female participants in the United States with a diagnosis of HMB associated with UF and are prescribed elagolix + E2/NETA by their physicians as per standard of care will be enrolled in this direct-to-patient observational study for up to 6 months. Participants will have been prescribed elagolix + E2/NETA within the last 30 days prior to enrollment and will continue to take elagolix + E2/NETA throughout study participation. There may be a higher burden for participants in this study compared to standard of care. Electronic patient reported outcomes (ePROs) will be collected at baseline, 1, 3 and 6 months to assess the impact of Elagolix + E2/NETA on patient-reported quality of life.
Pregnenolone \& Pyridoxal Phosphate SB-UF for treating uterine fibroids in women's pregnancies to lose the size of fibroids and to dissolve fibroids. Uterine fibroids are a very common finding in women pregnancy of reproductive age, fibroids fast grow in the first trimester of pregnancy. SB-UF against the rapid growth of fibroids under the influence of hormones during pregnancy. Use SB-UF to think about regulating stable Oestrogen levels and dissolving fibroids.
