Clinical Trial Summary

Endometriosis is an estrogen-dependent chronic disease, characterized by the presence of endometrial-like tissue, glands and stroma outside the uterine cavity. Although endometriosis is classified in four stage (minimal, mild, moderate, severe), from the clinical point of view it is possible to subdivide among peritoneal superficial lesions, ovarian endometriomas and Deep Infiltrating Endometriosis (DIE). According to the European Society for Human Reproduction and Embryology (ESHRE) Guideline on the management of women with endometriosis, it is recommended to clinicians that in infertile women with endometrioma larger than 3 cm, cystectomy should be considered prior to Assisted Reproduction Technology (ART) to improve endometriosis-associated pain or the accessibility of follicles. They further recommend that clinicians counsel women with endometrioma regarding the risks of reduced ovarian function after surgery, the possible loss of the ovary, and consider that the decision to proceed with surgery should be taken carefully if the woman has had previous ovarian surgery. In addition, this Guideline suggests that clinicians can prescribe prolonged (3-6 months) pituitary downregulation with Gonadotropin Releasing Hormone-agonists (GnRH-a) prior to ART, in order to increase live birth rate by four-fold. Despite these recommendations, to date there is not robust evidence to choose between the two strategies prior to ART in order to improve reproductive outcomes. For this reason, the aim of the current study will be to compare reproductive outcomes in infertile women affected by ovarian endometrioma, undergoing laparoscopic enucleation or prolonged pituitary downregulation with GnRH-a, prior to ART.

Clinical trials are conducted in a series of steps, called phases - each phase is designed to answer a separate research question.

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.
