A Prospective, Randomized,Controlled Trial on the Effect of Antibiotic Therapy on Endometrial Response in Women With Chronic Endometritis

ClinicalTrials.gov · COMPLETED, 2018

120 participants

Abstract

120 cases with a diagnosis of chronic endometritis, confirmed by the presence of plasma cells in endometrial biopsy sample identified by immunohistochemical staining using CD138 antibody, have been recruited. The subjects have been randomly divided into two groups, the experimental group have been given antibiotic (Levofloxacin and Tinidazole for 14 days) treatment, the control group did not receive any antibiotic. Initially it was planned for women in the control group to take placebo,but the organization was difficult, so it was changed prior to the start of the study to an open label study. A repeat endometrial biopsy sample have been obtained 2-4 weeks after completion of the antibiotic therapy to assess the response to treatment. The conversion rate will be compared between the two groups

Conditions: Chronic Endometritis.

Primary outcome: The Conversion Rate of CE (From Positive to Negative).

Enrollment: 120 participants.

How strong is the evidence?

Evidence Hub reads this as a randomized trial, done in people. Its evidence level is 2 of 5 (High · randomized trial). Randomized trials of a reasonable size are the strongest single-study design. Reported size: 120 participants or records.
