About this study
Official title: Impact vs. Dienogest: A Combined Oral Contraceptive in the Size of Endometriomas in Women With Diameters Smaller Than 4 Centimeters Thereof, at University Hospital Fundación Santa Fe de Bogota, Between the Years 2015-2017
Project Summary Endometriosis is a disease with a high prevalence that primarily affects women of childbearing age. This condition brings an important physical and emotional burden on sufferers and this is why it requires proper and timely medical management. At present there are several first-line drugs available for the management of symptoms and disease control. In the world literature we have reported several studies that demonstrate the effectiveness of different groups of drugs such as oral contraceptives, progestins, GnRH analogues and danazol. Within the available scientific evidence it has been extensively described the benefits of the new progestins Dienogest, demonstrating a favorable safety profile and efficacy along with a significant reduction of the symptoms of the disease by its anti-inflammatory, and antiproliferative antiagiogénicas in the endometrial tissue . However, although the therapeutic properties of this drug are known, studies are needed to compare its effectiveness with the effectiveness of other therapeutic agents as oral contraceptives. That is why the main objective of this study is to evaluate the impact of Dienogest to 2 mg / day compared with a combined oral contraceptive (levonorgestrel + ethinyl estradiol) in the size of the endometriomas diagnosed by transvaginal ultrasonography in 50 women having diameters less than 4 centimeters of the same, which medical management will be given for one year at the University Hospital Fundación Santa Fe de Bogota. The study was conducted by a clinical trial, randomized, single-blind by the observer. The results will be analyzed and the findings in the study will serve as a tool to define new therapeutic conduct in the management of endometriosis.

Problem and Justification:
Endometriosis is defined as the presence of endometrial tissue outside the uterine cavity, which induces a chronic inflammatory response.
It is a common problem that affects about 6-10% of women of reproductive age, 50-60% of women and adolescents with pelvic pain and nearly 50% of women with infertility. it is characterized by abdominal pain, back pain, pain during sex, dysfunctional uterine bleeding and infertility. Being a common condition among women of childbearing age, which often goes undiagnosed for many years. This delay in diagnosis is due to the variability of symptoms and the lack of tools for accurate diagnosis available for primary care, which is a major burden on the quality of life of patients symptomatic.
The diagnosis of endometriosis should start with clinical history and physical examination and transvaginal ultrasound has proven useful in the diagnosis of ovarian endometriomas and its differential diagnosis with other ovarian masses.
Histologically the lesions identified in endometriosis resemble endometrial tissue in places outside the endometrium, which proliferates in response to hormonal changes that occur with menstruation, causing increased pain and bleeding.
Pharmacological agents are preferred as first-line treatment for managing the symptoms. Among these, oral contraceptives are used to treat symptoms of menorrhagia and dysmenorrhoea associated with endometriosis, affecting the endometrial lining by decreasing the proliferation of endometrial tissue during the menstrual cycle, to shorten the number of days in which endometrial tissue appears, reducing the amount and consistency of bleeding.
Another drug that is used to manage this condition is the Dienogest, which has proven superior to treatment with placebo and the effect is comparable to that of other drugs used in the management of endometriosis, as progestins or GnRH analogues.
All drug treatments for endometriosis are effective in reducing the size and number of lesions, and are not intended to cure the disease or eliminate the injury of the peritoneal cavity. Another management option is surgery, which should be reserved for specific cases or those patients who do not respond to drug treatment.
Endometriosis is a disease that imposes a severe financial burden on society, and a physical and emotional toll on people who have it. Therefore it is important to understand, and education by medical staff against this disease. According to the statistics service approximately 200 women a year are treated in reproductive age of which on average 50 are endometriomas and since there is no clear scientific evidence on the impact of combined oral contraceptives compared with using Dienogest, the objective of this study is to determine the impact of Dienogest to 2 mg / day compared with combined oral contraceptives (levonorgestrel + ethinyl estradiol) in reducing the size of the endometriomas diagnosed by transvaginal ultrasound in women with diameters smaller than 4 centimeters thereof, in the Hospital Universitario Fundación Santa Fe de Bogota.
Goals:
General: Determine the impact of Dienogest to 2 mg / day compared with combined oral contraceptives (levonorgestrel + ethinyl estradiol 0.10 mg - 0.02 mg / day) in the treatment of endometriomas diagnosed by transvaginal ultrasound in women with smaller diameters 4 centimeters thereof, at University Hospital Fundación Santa Fe de Bogota.
Specific:
- Determine Decreasing the size of endometriomas Dienogest using as medical treatment for endometriosis.
- Determine Decreased endometriomas size using a combined oral contraceptive as medical treatment for endometriosis.
- Determine Through ultrasound scanning diagnostic tool as the impact of the reduction in size of endometriomas.
- Compare The effect of the Dienogest vs the combined oral contraceptive in time. Methodology Type of study Experimental study single-blind randomized clinical trial by the observer. Universe Endometriomas of patients with diameters smaller than 4 centimeters diagnosed by transvaginal ultrasound in patients presenting to the Santa Fe de Bogota Foundation between 2015 and 2016.
Sample size
To analyze cases of endometriomas in which medical management vs Dienogest be used with oral contraceptives, the sample size is calculated using the estimated sample size with a comparison of proportions between 2 samples with the following information:

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 2/3 study testing Dienogest and Levonorgestrel in people with Endometriosis, run by Fundación Santa Fe de Bogota at 1 site in Colombia.
The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.
Who may be eligible to take part?
The sponsor lists 1 inclusion and 5 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.
Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?
The record says: paused, as of the sponsor's last update on 22 Nov 2016. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 1 site in Colombia. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
What does this combined phase mean?
Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.
Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.
Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.
Are results available for this study?
Results are not available in the source record.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
the change from baseline in the size of the endometriomas, as determined by the diagnostic tool ultrasound, subsequent to drug treatment (time frame: one year). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
