Study summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to find out how the study drug HHK001 compares to Enantone (an approved treatment for endometriosis) when given as a single 3.75 mg injection to participants with endometriosis. Both products contain the same active ingredient: leuprorelin acetate. We will check how the body absorbs and responds to each medicine, monitor possible side effects and treatment benefits.

Researchers will compare HHK001 to Enantone to test the advantages of its updated formulation.

Go through the criteria one by one — yes, no or not sure — and take the list to your doctor or the study team. Kept in this browser only.

Inclusion criteria

  • Voluntarily provide written ;
  • Female, aged 18-45 years, weight ≥ 40 kg, 19-28 kg/m²;
  • The most recent menstrual cycle 21-35 days;
  • Confirmed diagnosis of endometriosis, and suitable for GnRH agonist;
  • Cervical cytology test result showing No Intraepithelial Lesion or ;
  • No plan for pregnancy, egg cryopreservation or donation, and agree to use effective from screening through 3 months after dosing.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Allergic to GnRH agonists/antagonists, or history of allergies to ≥3 different substances, or active allergic disease;
  • With to rescue medication (ibuprofen);
  • Current or past medical history of osteoporosis/osteopenia, pituitary tumor, epilepsy, depressive disorder, thromboembolic events, malignant tumors, unexplained abnormal uterine bleeding;
  • Received any GnRH agonist/antagonist within 12 weeks before screening;
  • Received medications that may significantly alter hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis hormone levels within 4 weeks before screening;
  • History of miscarriage within 4 weeks before screening;
  • History of alcohol dependence, drug abuse or illicit substance use;
  • Other conditions unsuitable for the trial judged by the investigator.
Terms in these criteria, in plain language(5)

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.

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.

Cancer (malignancy)

Malignancy means cancer. Criteria about another or earlier malignancy ask whether you have had a different cancer, usually within a set number of years.

Some are commonly allowed, such as treated skin cancers other than melanoma and early cancers removed completely — check the exceptions this study lists.

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.

Contraindication

A reason a treatment, test or procedure should not be given to a particular person, such as an allergy, another illness or a medicine they take.

Primary outcomes

  1. Concentrations of leuprorelin acetate

    Concentrations assessed by pre-specified methods

    Time frame: Baseline through 70 days post-dose

  2. Concentrations of estradiol

    Concentrations assessed by pre-specified methods

    Time frame: Baseline through 70 days post-dose

Secondary outcomes

Start is estimated for Oct 2026; primary completion for Mar 2027, 5 months later.

Of 24 phase 1 interventional studies under Endometriosis, half reached primary completion within 7 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 3 and three quarters within 26. This study's planned 5 months is below that.

Start moved once since we started tracking on Sep 25, 2026: Aug 2026 → Oct 2026, on Oct 26, 2026.

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.
