Summary

The goal of this study is to determine the safety, feasibility and preliminary efficacy of use of platelet rich plasma (PRP) treatment in female breast cancer survivors with genitourinary syndrome of menopause (GSM)

Description

Genitourinary syndrome of menopause (GSM) is a term that encompasses a collection of symptoms and signs associated with a decrease in estrogen and other sex steroids involving changes to the labia majora/minora, clitoris, vestibule/introitus, vagina, urethra and bladder. The syndrome may include but is not limited to genital symptoms of dryness, burning, and irritation; sexual symptoms of lack of lubrication, discomfort or pain, and impaired function; and urinary symptoms of urgency, dysuria and recurrent urinary tract infections.The primary goal of treatment of GSM is symptom relief which may include non-hormonal and hormonal treatments. GSM is a challenging issue for breast cancer survivors on aromatase inhibitors due to symptomatic treatments that usually include estrogen which is contraindicated after treatment for breast cancer. GSM symptoms typically do not resolve without treatment and may worsen with time. PRP has been studied as a treatment option for various gynecological disorders and wound healing after cesarean sections and gynecological surgery.

Exclusion Criteria

Receiving any form of hormone replacement therapy, including topical estrogens, testosterone, and dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) or selective estrogen receptor modulator (SERM), including tamoxifen and ospemifene in the previous 3 months prior to enrollment
Personal history of vulvovaginal conditions such as lichen sclerosis, lichen planus, vulvovaginal condyloma, vaginal intraepithelial neoplasia, vaginal carcinoma, history of cervical or other gynecologic cancer, radical pelvic surgery, acute or recurrent urinary tract infection, genital infection, history of vaginal or pelvic radiation
Chronic pelvic pain, current pelvic tension myalgia/muscle hypertonicity
Pelvic organ prolapse greater than stage II
Pelvic surgery within 6 months
Known allergy to lidocaine or prilocaine
Known allergy to silicone
Use of vaginal moisturizers, lubricants, or homeopathic preparations within 2 weeks of therapy
Abnormal lab values to include: hemoglobin < 12.0 g/dL or > 15.5 g/dL; hematocrit < 34.9% or > 44.5%; white blood cell count < 3.5 X 10(9)/L or > 10.5 X 10(9)/L; platelet count < 150 X 10(9)/L or > 450 X 10(9)/L. If the laboratory reports a single, non-clinically significant result for any of these studies and is the only excluding factor it may be repeated 1 week later if the patient wishes. Normalization of that laboratory study will then be considered non-exclusionary
Co-morbid systemic illnesses or other severe concurrent disease which, in the judgment of the investigator, would make the patient inappropriate for entry into this study or interfere significantly with the proper assessment of the treatment
Immunocompromised patients and patients known to be HIV positive and currently receiving antiretroviral therapy. NOTE: Patients known to be HIV positive, but without clinical evidence of an immunocompromised state, are eligible for this trial
Uncontrolled intercurrent illness including, but not limited to, ongoing or active infection, symptomatic congestive heart failure, unstable angina pectoris, cardiac arrhythmia, or psychiatric illness/social situations that would limit compliance with study requirements
