Subdermal Implant-bioabsorbable Gestrinone Pellet for Endometriosis Pelvic Pain Treatment

Sponsor: Science Valley Research Institute

View on ClinicalTrials.gov

Summary

Pelvic pain is considered a symptom of multifactorial origin among which Endometriosis is the main gynecological cause affecting 5-10% of worldwide women in their reproductive years, negatively impacting their quality of life and work efficiency. Treatment of endometriosis-associated pelvic pain is challenging and there are surgical and/or hormonal treatments available with variable endpoints. Gestrinone is a synthetic derivative of 19-nortestosterone with anti-estrogen, anti-progestin, androgenic, and weak estrogen-like action. Previous studies show that the oral treatment with Gestrinone induced an improvement in symptoms associated with endometriosis but with adverse events such as androgenization and uterine bleeding. Parenteral administration of Gestrinone could be effective to treat pain symptoms secondary to endometriosis and minimize these adverse events. This study evaluates the safety and tolerability of subdermal implant-bioabsorbable gestrinone pellet use in women with pelvic pain secondary to endometriosis after 6 months of Gestrinone pellet insertion versus placebo pellet. PK profile of the gestrinone pellet will be monitored.
