Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

To test the hypothesis that estrogen suppression impairs endothelial dysfunction in endometriosis.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Our scientific premise is that in women with endometriosis, elevated cardiovascular disease risk is the result of endothelial dysfunction and chronic systemic inflammation through lectin-like oxidized low-density lipoprotein receptor-1 (LOX-1) receptor activation. This cardiovascular disease risk is exacerbated by standard estrogen suppression treatments.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

patients without endometriosis

Control subjects will be healthy women, with regular menses every 26-34 days. Subjects will be excluded if they have any symptoms of endometriosis, including severe dysmenorrhea or progressive cyclic pelvic pain or prior surgery showing evidence of endometriosis

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

Elagolix

Intervention Type DRUG

Elagolix, 400 mg/day oral, 2X200 mg tablets/day for 4 days.

patients with endometriosis

Endometriosis will be diagnosed by history of the disease seen at the time of prior surgery or will be diagnosed by classic clinical symptoms of the disease (cyclic progressive pelvic pain) using prior surgical report reviewed by Dr. Taylor.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL
