Endometriosis is a common gynaecological disease affecting 10% of the female population due to the presence of uterus-like tissue outside of the uterus, often in the pelvis. The disease causes severe lower abdominal pain mostly during the monthly period, during or after sexual intercourse, and when emptying the bowel and bladder. Currently, imaging methods such as ultrasound are ineffective at diagnosing the most common type of endometriosis, pelvic endometriosis. Therefore, we are heavily reliant on invasive surgery to make the diagnosis. This study aims to investigate the presence of binding proteins (integrins) in endometriotic tissue which will expand our understanding of endometriosis and could be used as a target to develop a non-invasive imaging test in the future. Women with symptoms consistent with endometriosis, who are due to undergo surgery to diagnose endometriosis at the EndoCare Unit in Oxford, will be eligible to participate. To attempt to visualise the integrins, participants will be asked to attend 2-7 days before their surgery to undergo an imaging scan with a molecular marker that has been found to highlight integrins in other conditions. The possibility of machine learning enhancement of integrin expression will be tested. The findings on the scan will be compared to the findings at surgery. Samples during surgery of endometriosis tissues, the endometrium, and salty water that has been flushed through the uterus, will be analysed in the lab to look for differences in the amount of integrin present in women with and without endometriosis and whether factors such as the phase of the menstrual cycle or hormonal treatment effect the amount seen.

This product will be used as a diagnostic test to screen for the likelihood of endometriosis in menstruating adults with symptoms suggestive of endometriosis. The purpose of the test will be to guide clinical decisions regarding: 1) whether to undergo diagnostic laparoscopy to confirm the presence of endometriosis (currently, the gold standard for diagnosing endometriosis) and/or 2) how to guide the choice of hormonal or other therapies to treat symptoms of endometriosis.

Project Summary Endometriosis is a disease with a high prevalence that primarily affects women of childbearing age. This condition brings an important physical and emotional burden on sufferers and this is why it requires proper and timely medical management. At present there are several first-line drugs available for the management of symptoms and disease control. In the world literature we have reported several studies that demonstrate the effectiveness of different groups of drugs such as oral contraceptives, progestins, GnRH analogues and danazol. Within the available scientific evidence it has been extensively described the benefits of the new progestins Dienogest, demonstrating a favorable safety profile and efficacy along with a significant reduction of the symptoms of the disease by its anti-inflammatory, and antiproliferative antiagiogénicas in the endometrial tissue . However, although the therapeutic properties of this drug are known, studies are needed to compare its effectiveness with the effectiveness of other therapeutic agents as oral contraceptives. That is why the main objective of this study is to evaluate the impact of Dienogest to 2 mg / day compared with a combined oral contraceptive (levonorgestrel + ethinyl estradiol) in the size of the endometriomas diagnosed by transvaginal ultrasonography in 50 women having diameters less than 4 centimeters of the same, which medical management will be given for one year at the University Hospital Fundación Santa Fe de Bogota. The study was conducted by a clinical trial, randomized, single-blind by the observer. The results will be analyzed and the findings in the study will serve as a tool to define new therapeutic conduct in the management of endometriosis.

Endometriosis is a disease that affects 10-15% of the general population and 50% of infertile women. It is characterized by the presence of endometrial tissue outside the uterine cavity. Endometriosis can lead to infertility by interfering through endocrine and mechanical alterations on the function of the ovaries, fallopian tubes, and uterus. The aim of the study is to define the differential expression of a cluster of RNAs tissue driven for the identification of an RNA profile in saliva, specific for endometriosis. This study focuses on the expression of genes involved in the control and regulation of apoptosis, cell survival, metabolism, cell adhesion and invasion, angiogenesis, inflammation, and estrogen receptor expression levels.

Endometriosis is a common condition with an incidence of approximately 10% of all women in the fertile phase. Deep infiltrating endometriosis (DIE) has been shown to be associated with high morbidity. A retrospective study of 700 patients has shown lower urinary tract involvement in up to 52.6% of cases with DIE. In most studies, the bladder is cited as the most common site of DIE in the urinary tract, with the ureter being the second most common lesion site. In cases of ureteral endometriosis, a procedure called ureterolysis is essential because complete resection of the endometriosis is necessary to resolve or prevent renal obstruction. In addition, ureterolysis is obligatory in the context of dissection of endometriosis involving the rectovaginal septum, sacrouterine ligaments, or rectum. Ureterolysis is the process of freeing the ureter from both endometriotic nodules as a therapeutic procedure and from physiologic surrounding tissue and structures for complete visualization. Because ureterolysis is a high-risk procedure for ureteral lesions, alternatives are desirable. ICG is a fluorescent dye that has been used for decades for various indications, including retinal angiography, determination of tissue viability, and testing of cardiac and liver function. It has gained an important role in intraoperative visualization of tissue perfusion as well as sentinel lymph nodes in tumor surgery. ICG has also been used and described for ureteral imageability. However, these studies included small populations of 10-30 patients. None of the aforementioned studies have investigated the imageability of the ureters in endometriosis and with regard to a possible reduction in the need for ureteral dissection. The investigators perform a cystoscopy with a retrograde injection of ICG in both ureters. ICG and thus the ureters are visualized during laparoscopy by near-infrared light contained in our camera systems. The additional use of fluorescence imaging of the ureters with ICG injected into the ureters during laparoscopic resection of deep infiltrating endometriosis is intended to improve visualization of the ureters and thus may prevent complete ureterolysis, which is considered a high-risk procedure. It is a safe procedure as ICG has been shown to have an excellent safety profile. The aim of the study is to prove the feasibility of ureteral visualization using intraureteral ICG in 2D laparoscopy for women with deep infiltrating endometriosis by means of near-infrared fluorescence imaging of the ureters. In our secondary endpoints the investigators want to describe the duration time of ICG injection, the duration until visualization of the ureters, the detection rate of fluorescing ureters after ICG-injection, the duration until maximum fluorescence is achieved, the duration until the ureters can no longer be displayed, the length of performed ureterolysis in centimeters and the safety of intraureteral ICG injection.

Studies suggest that undiagnosed endometriosis results in poor reproductive outcomes in the setting of In Vitro Fertilization and Embryo Transfer (IVF-ET). Biomarkers that predict endometriosis including B-cell lymphoma (BCL6) and Sirtuin 1 (SIRT1) are associated with reduced pregnancy rates following IVF-ET. Treatment with gonadotropin releasing hormone (GnRHr) receptor agonists (leuprolide acetate depot) has been shown to improve pregnancy rates following embryo transfer (ET). In this randomized controlled trial, a new generation GnRHr antagonist, elagolix, will be compared to oral contraceptives (OCPs) for suppression of suspected endometriosis prior to ET. Both groups will receive two months of treatment prior to frozen embryo transfer of a single euploid embryo. Outcomes will include pregnancy rate, miscarriage rate and ongoing and live birth rate following treatment. Patients experiencing unanticipated problems or who experience adverse events such that they do not tolerate the treatment they are assigned, will be allowed to discontinue treatment and be provided the opportunity to use the other treatment if they so choose. The outcomes of such cycles would be collected separately and included as observational data only and not included in the randomized data analysis. Alternatively, they can simply drop out of the study and resume medical therapy as appropriate or pursue frozen embryo transfer as previously planned.

This is a randomized, single blinded, placebo-controlled trial to study the effectiveness of a subanesthetic dose (0.6 mg/kg) of ketamine versus placebo (saline) on postoperative pain and pain on adult female chronic pelvic pain patients undergoing robotic removal of endometriosis. The objective of the study is to explore the effect of a sub anesthetic dose of ketamine (0.6 mg/kg) vs. saline control on postoperative pain and recovery in chronic pelvic pain patients who have undergone robotic removal of endometriosis.

Orilissa is a drug approved for the management of moderate to severe pain associated with endometriosis. Oriahnn is approved for heavy menstrual bleeding due to uterine fibroids. Elagolix-containing products should not be taken by women who are pregnant or suspected to be pregnant but pregnancies are expected as the medicine does not completely stop ovulation and women may inadvertently continue taking Elagolix-containing products until their pregnancy is confirmed. This study will assess pregnancy outcomes (maternal, fetal, and infant) of participants with and without exposure to Elagolix-containing products for their endometriosis or other conditions based on approved indications and prescribing patterns of Elagolix. Around 584 participants will be enrolled (292 participants exposed to Elagolix and 292 without exposure) in the United States. Participants will not receive Elagolix-containing products as part of this study but will be followed for maternal and fetal outcomes up to 1 year after delivery. There may be a higher burden for participants in this study compared to standard of care. Participants will be asked to provide additional information by questionnaire during each trimester of pregnancy, and at 0-6 weeks, 26 weeks, and 1 year after delivery.
