Blood and tissue tests to improve endometriosis diagnosis
Part of Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study collects blood and small tissue samples during planned gynecological surgery to better diagnose endometriosis and predict its course. It may help future patients by making diagnoses and outlook more accurate.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are a woman age 18–45 and are scheduled for laparoscopic (camera) surgery
- The surgery is for suspected endometriosis or for another non-cancer reason (like a cyst, fibroids, or sterilization) with no visible endometriosis found
- A tissue (biopsy) sample will be taken during surgery for study testing
- You can read and speak Swedish or English to complete questionnaires and consent
- Your BMI is 40 or less (BMI over 40 may exclude you)

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study looks for markers in body fluids (endometrial fluid, tissue, and follicular fluid) that might help understand moderate to severe endometriosis. Participating could give you more information about your condition and help researchers find better ways to diagnose and treat endometriosis.
This study tests whether a new blood test can accurately detect endometriosis (tissue similar to uterine lining growing outside the uterus). You may qualify if you menstruate regularly, are between 14–49 years old, and either have confirmed endometriosis, had a negative laparoscopy (a scope procedure), or have no endometriosis symptoms.
This study tests a new blood test (HerResolve™) to see if it can accurately detect endometriosis in women who already have pelvic pain or abnormal bleeding and are scheduled for a diagnostic laparoscopy. If accurate, it could offer a less invasive way to diagnose endometriosis in the future.
This study collects menstrual blood and cheek-swab DNA to better understand endometriosis. It may help researchers find markers that could eventually lead to earlier diagnosis and improved treatment planning.
This study is testing if a blood test can help doctors know if a woman has endometriosis. It is for women who are having their first surgical procedure to find out if they have endometriosis.
This Phase 2 study checks whether a new lab test (using samples from your body) can detect signs specific to endometriosis. It may help improve how endometriosis is identified, especially when people are heading toward laparoscopic surgery.
