A Controlled Human Infection Model (CHIM) is being developed to provide early proof-of-concept that experimental infection with the intestinal nematode, Trichuris trichiura, is feasible and safe. The proposed model consists of enrolling consenting, healthy, trichuriasis-naïve adults and challenging them with the investigational product, Trichuris trichiura Egg Inoculum, to assess their …
This study uses a procedure called chromopertubation to look at how fibroids and fibroid surgery affect the fallopian tubes. Specifically, this study will test if the fallopian tubes are occluded or patent (open) before and after surgically removing fibroids. Chromopertubation is a commonly performed and well-established procedure that is done …
