Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Women aged 18-45 with confirmed endometriosis, suitable for GnRH agonist therapy, and meeting health criteria.
✕Probably not a fit
Individuals with contraindications to GnRH agonists, recent GnRH treatment, or conditions that increase risk for adverse effects may not benefit.

What this trial studies
This Phase 1 trial compares HHK001 to Enantone, both containing leuprorelin acetate, in adults with endometriosis. Participants receive a single 3.75 mg injection and are monitored for pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, safety, and clinical benefit. The study focuses on absorption, bodily response, and potential side effects for the updated formulation. Researchers aim to identify any advantages of HHK001 over Enantone while ensuring participant safety.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, HHK001 could offer a comparable or improved therapy option with the same active ingredient.
How similar studies have gone: Previous studies have tested leuprorelin formulations; this study explores a novel formulation to determine if it provides benefits or comparable results.
