Endometriosis markers in menstrual blood
Part of Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study looks for signs of endometriosis in menstrual blood collected with a menstrual cup. It could help find better ways to diagnose the condition.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Women aged 18 to 45 who have periods
- Already used a menstrual cup before
- Live or work in the Paris metropolitan area (Ile de France)
- For those with endometriosis: diagnosis by surgery or imaging (ultrasound/MRI) and pain level above 3 or infertility
- For those without endometriosis: low pain levels and no history of severe period pain in adolescence

This study looks at how immune cells (NK cells) and uterine lining cells interact in endometriosis. It may help researchers understand why endometriosis causes pain and infertility.
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 looks at what causes endometriosis by comparing healthy people and those with a clear diagnosis. You may join if you have regular periods and haven't used hormonal treatments in the last 3 months.
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 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 looks at immune cells and substances they release in women with endometriosis. The goal is to better understand the condition, which could lead to better treatments.
