NCT ID NCT06135870

First seen Jan 04, 2026 · Last updated May 12, 2026 · Updated 15 times

Summary

This study looks at how old, worn-out cells (senescent cells) might cause uterine fibroids—non-cancerous growths in the womb. Researchers will analyze tissue samples from 150 women with fibroids to map these cells and their signals. The goal is to better understand the disease, not to test a treatment.
