A Study of Endometriosis Biomarkers

Overview

About this study

The purpose of this study is to analytically validate a cluster of specific biomarkers for endometriosis diagnosis and disease recurrence. This signature will be tested on endometrium and blood from 975 patients, divided in two groups : 550 patients affected by endometriosis and 225 patients unaffected (controls). EndoSearch is not about drug or medical device assessment but a research study for biomarker analytical validation purpose.
