Background

Do you have moderate to severe pelvic pain caused by endometriosis? Endometriosis affects about 10% of women — approximately 176 million women worldwide — and has no known cause or cure. One of the primary symptoms of endometriosis is pelvic pain. Although many women experience cramping during their menstrual period, women with endometriosis typically describe menstrual pain that’s far worse than usual.

This research study is evaluating an investigational non-hormonal medication to see if it is safe and effective in reducing moderate to severe endometriosis-related pelvic pain. If you have moderate to severe pelvic pain caused by endometriosis, you may be eligible to participate in a clinical research study.

This study seeks women who are currently diagnosed with endometriosis. Participants are required to attend 7 study visits at the research site over approximately a 6 month period and will be compensated $50 per study visit for participating in this study.
