An observational study in Endometriosis, sponsored by Imperial College London. Completed at 1 site in United Kingdom. Open to female participants aged 18 Years to 50 Years. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2025-08-11.
Sponsored by Imperial College London · Observational
The goal of this observational study is to develop a non-invasive predictive algorithm for a diagnosis of endometriosis in a group of symptomatic women attending for their first laparoscopic surgical procedure for symptoms that are suspicious for pelvic endometriosis and to understand the role of peripheral markers of inflammation in enhancing this diagnosis.
The main questions it aims to answer are:
Can a non-invasive quantitative algorithm ('Endometriosis Diagnostic Index') accurately predict the presence or absence of pelvic endometriosis? Is the peripheral inflammatory environment (for example, presence of inflammatory cytokines and chemokine) different between people with and without endometriosis?
901 studies on the registry are indexed under Endometriosis; 259 are open to participants now.
This study's enrollment of 264 is above the median of 128 across 344 observational studies indexed under Endometriosis.
