China Clinical Trial for Therapeutic MRI-guided High Intensity Focused Ultrasound Ablation of Uterine Fibroids
This study is to confirm the safety and effectiveness of Magnetic Resonance Imaging-guided
High Intensity Focused Ultrasound (MR-HIFU) in ablating uterine tissue associated with
symptomatic leiomyomas. The importance of this therapy is that it offers a non-invasive,
uterine sparing procedure for the treatment of uterine fibroids in pre- and peri- menopausal
women.
MR-HIFU uses ultrasound to heat and thermally ablate fibroid tissue. The MRI system
identifies the ultrasound path and monitors heat rise in the fibroid tissue. The goal of the
study is to show treatment safety and effectiveness of the Philips Sonalleve MR-HIFU device
for uterine fibroids marketing approval in the Chinese market. MR-HIFU will be performed in
100 patients who pass inclusion/exclusion criteria. Safety, quality of life, and imaging
endpoints will be evaluated in all study patients at baseline and at 6 months
post-treatment. All patients will be followed up for 12 months post-treatment for safety.

Change in fibroid volume
Proportion of patients with treated fibroid volume at 6 months after treatment reduced to 90% or less of treated fibroid volume at baseline (before MR-HIFU treatment)
At baseline and at 6 months after treatment
