Trial summary

Patients seen at the SLUCare Center for Endometriosis (including those with or without pain) undergoing laser excision surgery for known or suspected endometriosis will be recruited for the study. Per the PI's standard surgical approach to endometriosis, all areas of abnormal peritoneum will be excised (removed). Read more about this study

About this study

Patients seen at the SLUCare Center for Endometriosis (including those with or without pain) undergoing laser excision surgery for known or suspected endometriosis will be recruited for the study.

Per the PI's standard surgical approach to endometriosis, all areas of abnormal peritoneum will be excised (removed).

After surgical excision has been performed, in order to provide standardized specimens for our research, a 3mm punch biopsy will be obtained from the excised peritoneum tissue. The 3 mm biopsy will be sent for research analysis, and the rest of the excised peritoneum tissue will be sent to histology (SSM) for evaluation and classification as having endometriosis or not. For each patient in the study, blood will also be collected to look for markers for endometriosis.

Read the detailed description

The study is investigator-initiated, prospective, comparative study. Laparoscopic surgery for endometriosis on patients presenting with pain, infertility or both will be performed by the principal investigator at St. Mary's Hospital. We will be collecting preoperative, operative and postoperative follow-up data on all patients recruited for this study based on comprehensive preoperative questionnaires, which includes data collection on pain scores (by VAS scales) and standardized QOL scales, and the 6-12 month follow questionnaire. The surgical approach in the treatment of endometriosis is by excision only, so that all lesions (abnormal areas of peritoneum) are excised resulting in tissue specimens that are classified at a histologic level, which is the gold standard way to diagnose the presence of endometriosis.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. S1PR1 levels in PBLs with and without endometriosis.

    To determine if S1PR1 levels in PBLs can discriminate between patients with endometriosis and patients without endometriosis.

    Measured: At Surgery

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Endometriosis, run by St. Louis University at 1 site in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 3 inclusion and 2 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 10 Sep 2020. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

S1PR1 levels in PBLs with and without endometriosis. (time frame: At Surgery). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 10 Sep 2020.
