Analysis of the Molecular Composition of Tubal Cilia in Patients With or Without Ectopic Pregnancy

Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.

1. 1This trial has been terminated — can you tell me why it was stopped early, and whether that affects any conclusions about how tubal cilia might relate to my situation?
2. 2Since this study was looking at the molecular and physical makeup of cilia in fallopian tubes removed during salpingectomy or hysterectomy, would tissue collected during my planned surgery have any research value in an active study, and are there similar ongoing studies I could participate in instead?
3. 3The trial was studying differences in tubal cilia between people who had an ectopic pregnancy and those who didn't — given my history, does my doctor think a cilia-related condition like primary ciliary dyskinesia could be contributing to my risk, and should I be evaluated for that separately?
4. 4Because this was a tissue-collection and analysis study rather than a treatment trial, what would participation have actually required of me, and is there any direct medical benefit I might have received from having my cilia analyzed this way?
5. 5Are there other active research studies looking at why ectopic pregnancies happen or how fallopian tube function affects fertility that my doctor could refer me to, now that this particular trial is no longer enrolling?
