About this study

Official title: Comparison of Genomic Maps of Endometrial Tissues of Patients With Endometriosis and Healthy Controls Via Nanochannel Technique and Proteomic-genomic Analyzes.

Endometriosis is a chronic inflammatory disease that affects 10-17% of women in childbearing age, 35-60% of women with chronic pelvic pain and can cause infertility, costing as much as 2.8 billion dollars per year. For this reason, every step taken in diagnosis and treatment is of great importance both materially and spiritually. Patients can be diagnosed about 8-9 years after the onset of their complaints due to inadequacy of diagnostic methods In the study, it is decided to look at the basis of the disease, endometrial cells. And aimed to find the difference between the two women who are thought to be no different from each other among our current knowledge but one has endometriosis while other have not.

Read the detailed description

Endometriosis is the appearance of a tissue similar to the endometrium in the ovaries, large intestine, and many other organ walls, except the uterus. The reason is unknown yet. Severe periodic pain, infertility, and pain during intercourse, affects approximately 2 million women in Turkey on average, 10% of women around the world. Endometriosis is a chronic inflammatory disease that affects 10-17% of women in childbearing age, 35-60% of women with chronic pelvic pain and can cause infertility, costing as much as 2.8 billion dollars per year. For this reason, every step taken in diagnosis and treatment is of great importance both materially and spiritually. Patients can be diagnosed about 8-9 years after the onset of their complaints due to the inadequacy of diagnostic methods In the study, it is decided to look at the basis of the disease, endometrial cells. And aimed to find the difference between the two women who are thought to be no different from each other among our current knowledge but one has endometriosis while others have not. For this reason, mapping of all genomes with the nanoclonal technique, the most advanced genetic screening method currently available from endometrial samples of patients and healthy women, is to identify the possible copy numbers, translocation, insertion and inversion anomalies, and to name them functionally by proteomic analysis. We believe that the results obtained from our study will guide the diagnostic tests and possible gene therapy in the future.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Endometriosis and Endometrioma, run by Acibadem University at 1 site in Turkey (Türkiye).

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 6 inclusion and 1 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 9 Jul 2019. 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 Turkey (Türkiye). 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.

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?

Contact Bahar Yuksel, md (05424732003, baharyl86@gmail.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

diagnostic testing (time frame: 2 years). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT03687398, which also lists 2 linked publications.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 9 Jul 2019.
