Study summary

A Comparative, Open-Label, Randomized, Parallel Group Study to determine Intraperitoneal fluids, tissue, and serum concentrations of VML-0501 following five days of daily vaginal applications of single dose of VML-0501 (100 mg Danazol), in comparison to five days of Danazol treatment administered as an oral capsule (Danatrol) at a daily dose of 600 mg, in two groups of twelve each consisting of women with suspected or confirmed endometriosis and scheduled for laparoscopy.

Inclusion criteria

  • Provide written (personally signed and dated) before completing any study-related procedure, which means any assessment or evaluation that would not have formed a part of her normal medical care.
  • Be a female who has or is suspected to have endometriosis
  • Greater than or equal to 18 years of age and less than 42years.
  • Scheduled to undergo laparoscopy.
  • According to the local practice the women should sign a specific clause on avoiding pregnancy based on the use of two effective methods for (condom and spermicidal) following 30 days after the last dose/application.
  • Be non-pregnant undergoing laparoscopy for confirmed or suspected endometriosis within first 10 days of her cycle.
  • Have a (BMI) \< 32 kg/m2

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

If any of the following criteria apply, the subject MUST NOT be admitted/continue the study trial.

The subject:

  • Is pregnant (if positive-Urine pregnancy test at screening) or lactating;
  • Has evidence of drug or alcohol abuse.
  • Have used hormonal replacement therapy or Danazol therapy within the past 8 weeks before study entry
  • Has any of the following: Epileptic Seizure, Migraine Headache, Angina, Chronic Heart Failure, Obstruction of a Blood Vessel by a Blood Clot, Liver Problems, Kidney Disease, Pregnancy, Combined High Blood Cholesterol and Triglyceride Level, Porphyria
  • Undiagnosed abnormal genital bleeding
  • Androgen dependant tumour
  • Is Allergic to anabolic androgenic steroid.
  • Smoker.
Terms in these criteria, in plain language(3)

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.

Informed consent

Before you join, the study team explains what taking part involves — its purpose, what happens, the risks and possible benefits — and answers your questions, so you can decide freely. Consent is usually recorded on a form (the informed consent form, ICF) signed by you or, where the law allows, by someone legally authorised to decide for you.

You can keep asking questions during the study, you are told of new information that matters, and you can choose to leave at any time.

Contraception

Ways of preventing pregnancy. “Highly effective” methods fail less than 1% of the time a year when used correctly — for example an IUD or an implant.

Criteria usually say which methods count and how long to keep using them after the last dose, sometimes for male participants too. Some studies accept a partner’s vasectomy if it was confirmed successful and that person is the participant’s only sexual partner.

BMI (body mass index)

Weight in kilograms divided by height in metres squared. Example: 70 kg and 1.75 m gives 70 ÷ (1.75 × 1.75) ≈ 22.9.

What counts as overweight or obesity differs between countries (some use lower cut-offs), so go by the range the study states.

Timeline

Tracking since Sep 25, 2026
ElapsedEstimatedEstimated, not yet reachedSimilar studies: half by the dot; the band is the middle halfHalf of similar studies reached it by the dot; the band is the middle half, from a quarter to three quarters

Ran from Dec 2017 to primary completion in Oct 2019, 21 months.

Of 44 phase 2 interventional studies under Endometriosis, half reached primary completion within 27 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 18 and three quarters within 37. This study's 21 months is below that.

How these figures are worked out, and which studies are left out of them.

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on Jun 12, 2020, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
