A Study to Analyze the Microbiome and Immunology of the Lower and Upper Female Reproductive Tract in Women with Endometriosis
Rochester, MN
The purpose of this study is to map the female reproductive tract microbiome in patients with and without endometriosis to seek correlations of the microbiome to endometriosis, to determine if lower reproductive tract microbiome is predictive of upper reproductive tract changes by comparing composition of the microbiome in the lower and upper reproductive tracts, to explore immunologic differences in patients with and without endometriosis, compare presence of immunologic factors and cells between ectopic and eutopic endometrium, and to compare systemic immune system characteristics in patients with and without endometriosis using mass cytometry of peripheral blood samples.

A Study to Evaluate Pathologic Diagnosis of Endometriosis Compared to Gross Visualization
Scottsdale/Phoenix, AZ
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the diagnosis of endometriosis by gross visualization and compare to histologic evaluation during laparoscopic resection. By better understanding the polymorphic appearance of endometriosis, it will improve our diagnostic potential without having to rely on pathology. With this knowledge, it will improve patient centered care and possibly expedite treatment.

Laparoscopy vs. Robotic Surgery for Endometriosis (LAROSE): A Prospective Randomized Controlled Trial
Scottsdale/Phoenix, AZ
The objective of this study is to conduct a prospective randomized controlled trial of robotic-assisted versus conventional laparoscopy for the treatment of endometriosis.
-
A Study to Evaluate Endometriosis with PET/MRI
Rochester, MN
The purpose of this study is to demonstrate the feasibility of F18- FES PET/MRI in patients with endometriosis, to establish the normal bio-distribution of F18- FES in pre-menopausal women, and to compare the diagnostic performance of F18- FES PET/MRI with that of conventional imaging (ultrasound and MRI alone) using surgical findings as the reference standard.

A Study of Endometriosis Biomarkers
Scottsdale/Phoenix, AZ
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.

A Study to Evaluate Whether or Not Pelvic Peritonectomy Improves Quality of Life for Patients Regardless of Endometriosis Pathology?
Scottsdale/Phoenix, AZ
The purpose of this study is to investigate if complete pelvic peritonectomy is associated with improved quality of life in patients with chronic pelvic pain without histologic diagnosis of endometriosis as compared to patients with histologic diagnosis of endometriosis.

A Study of Ultrasound Imaging of Microscopic Blood Vessels as a Biomarker for Uterine Pathologies
Rochester, MN
The purpose of this study is to investigate the value of ultrasound imaging of microscopic blood vessels as a new biomarker for identifying the difference between benign and cancerous uterine pathologies, and to compare ultrasound imaging to the diagnostics of MRI and (if available), surgical pathology.

Microbiome Role in Non-Cancerous Reproductive Tract Disorders
Rochester, MN
The aim is the characterization of the microbiome of subjects experiencing benign reproductive tract disorders and its comparison to the microbiome present in individuals lacking that disorder.
