About

This trial was a multi-center, double-blind, randomized, parallel group, placebo-controlled, phase II study in adult hospitalized female patients with the confirmed diagnosis of pelvic adhesive disease in Study centres in Russia.

Full description

In order to evaluate efficacy and safety of Seroguard, solution for IP administration, a study design meeting the set objectives was selected: prospective, multi-center, double-blind, randomized, parallel group, placebo-controlled study.

Given the fact that comparison with placebo is considered the best way to prove efficacy and safety of a drug and that currently there are no drugs with a similar mechanism of action at the pharmaceutical product market, a placebo-controlled, parallel group study design was selected.

A randomized, parallel group study design was chosen in order to ensure minimization of a selection bias.

Subjects were randomized into four groups (two groups of the test drug and two placebo groups corresponding to the two doses) to enable a comparison of Seroguard administration at two doses.

A double-blind study design was selected in order to ensure minimization of an outcome evaluation bias.
