Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Premenopausal women aged 18–49 with a surgical diagnosis of endometriosis and moderate to severe pain who agree to nonhormonal contraception and comply with study procedures.

Probably not a fit

Individuals who do not experience a reduction in pain or who experience adverse effects may not benefit from this treatment.

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This randomized, placebo-controlled trial focuses on women aged 18 to 49 with a surgical diagnosis of endometriosis and moderate to severe pelvic pain. Participants will receive HMI-115 or placebo for 24 weeks, followed by a 28-week extension to monitor ongoing effects and safety. The study uses a composite score of pelvic signs and symptoms to select eligible participants and assesses pain during treatment. Nonhormonal birth control is required, and contraception continues through the post-treatment period. Primary outcomes center on changes in pain and safety signals over the treatment period.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, participants may experience reduced endometriosis-related pain and improved daily functioning during and after treatment.

How similar studies have gone: Prior similar approaches in endometriosis have shown mixed results; this study aims to provide more definitive evidence in a Phase 3 setting.
