About this trial

This study will assess the use of autologous bone marrow stem cells mobilization using 1,1'-\[1,4-phenylenebis-(methylene)\]-bis-1,4,8,11-tetraazacyclotetradecane (PLERIXAFOR) as an effective medical therapy for the treatment of Asherman's Syndrome (AS), Atrophic Endometrium (AE) and Recurrent Implantation Failure (RIF).

Eligibility criteria

This trial accepts healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Healthy, non pregnant females

ages ≥18 and ≤40 years old at time of enrollment

with either AS, AE, or RIF

For AS: surgical history of intrauterine trauma/infection, hypo/amenorrhea, intra-uterine adhesions

Disqualifiers

Presence of hydrosalpinx (diagnosed by radiographic or ultrasound imaging)

Endometriosis (diagnosed by previous surgery,)

Diminished ovarian reserve (AMH<1ng/ml or follicle stimulating hormone (FSH)>10)

History of genital tuberculosis or any ultrasound evidence of congenital uterine anomaly

Trial design

Design model

Single group

Treatments tested in this trial

  • Plerixafor

    Drug

    A 20mg single dose of PLERIXAFOR is administered subcutaneously the evening prior to scheduled standard of care surgery for women with AS, AE or RIF for peripheral mobilization of stem cells. For subjects weighing \>83 kilogram, the dosing is a single dose of 0.24 milligram per kilogram.

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Change in endometrial thickness and implantation rates following treatment with Plerixafor at 6 month intervals up to 24 months, compared to controls

Change in endometrial thickness post treatment compared to historic controls that received existing standard of care therapy, measured using ultrasound. Thicker endometrium (\>6mm) indicates restoration of endometrial function.

Time frame
Every 6 months from baseline up to 24 months

Secondary outcomes

1

Change in endometrial thickness and implantation rates with Plerixafor in women with AS, AE and RIF at 3 month intervals, compared to baseline/pre-treatment

Change in endometrial thickness and implantation rates with Plerixafor in women with AS, AE and RIF at 3 month intervals, compared to baseline/pre-treatment will be assessed. Less atrophy, less fibrosis, greater blood vessel formation and greater endometrial blood flow on ultrasound, compared to historic controls is indicative of restoration of endometrial function.

Time frame
Every 3 months from baseline up to 24 months
2

Difference in ongoing pregnancy and live birth rates in women with AS, AE and RIF following treatment with Plerixafor at 3 month intervals, compared to baseline/pre-treatment

The difference in ongoing pregnancy and live birth rates in women with AS, AE and RIF following treatment with Plerixafor at 3 month intervals, compared to baseline/pre-treatment will be assessed. Less atrophy, less fibrosis, greater blood vessel formation and greater endometrial blood flow on ultrasound, compared to historic controls is indicative of restoration of endometrial function.

Time frame
Every 3 months from baseline up to 24 months
3

Change in endometrial thickness from baseline after treatment with Plerixafor at month 3 and month 6 for participants that have not achieved pregnancy as of the timepoint

Change in endometrial thickness from baseline after treatment with Plerixafor compared to month 3 and month 6 measured using ultrasound. Thicker endometrium (\>6mm) indicates restoration of endometrial function.

Time frame
baseline, month 3 and month 6
