Official title: The Effect of a Novel Combined Hormonal Treatment Containing a GnRH-antagonist for Uterine Fibroids and Endometriosis on Hemostasis Parameters: a Prospective Cohort Study
Run by University Hospital, Geneva · NCT07173127 · Data updated 2026-11-12
This trial will test whether the GnRH antagonist Relugolix combined with low‑dose estradiol and progestin (Ryeqo) changes blood clotting markers in adult women treated for uterine fibroids or endometriosis.

Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Adult women (age ≥18) with uterine fibroids or endometriosis attending the Geneva University Hospital who are prescribed Ryeqo and can read and speak French are ideal candidates.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients who cannot read or speak French, those who recently used combined hormonal therapies or certain injectables, or women not prescribed Ryeqo will not be eligible and therefore will not benefit from this study.

What this trial studies
This is an interventional, single‑center study at Hôpitaux Universitaires de Genève that gives prescribed Ryeqo to eligible adult women and measures hemostasis parameters over treatment. Ryeqo combines relugolix with low‑dose estradiol and progesterone to suppress ovulation while limiting hypoestrogenic symptoms. Patients must be ≥18, French‑speaking, and not have used certain hormonal therapies in the prior three months. Blood markers of coagulation and related hemostasis measures are collected to detect potential changes associated with the medication.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, the study could show Ryeqo controls symptoms without causing harmful changes in blood clotting, supporting its safety for women with fibroids or endometriosis.
How similar studies have gone: Previous clinical trials have shown relugolix with add‑back (Ryeqo) reduces bleeding and pain from fibroids and endometriosis, but effects specifically on hemostasis markers have been less thoroughly studied.
