Endometriosis gene mapping study
Part of Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study collects tissue samples during surgery to create a detailed map of genes in endometriosis. It may help researchers understand why some people have more severe symptoms.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 45 years old
- You have endometriosis in multiple areas (surface, deep, or cysts) and need surgery for pain or infertility
- OR you do not have endometriosis and are having surgery for tubal ligation or hysterectomy for a non-cancer, non-endometriosis reason
- You have not taken any hormonal treatments (like birth control pills or hormone shots) in the last 2 months
- Your surgery is scheduled during your menstrual period
- You do not have HIV, hepatitis B, hepatitis C, or HTLV, and are not under legal guardianship

This study creates a lab model of endometrial tissue from surgery samples to better understand and treat endometriosis. Researchers will collect tissue during your planned surgery (for endometriosis or another benign condition) to grow it in a dish and study it.
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.
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 how the immune system and gut bacteria relate to endometriosis. It involves women having surgery for endometriosis or other benign gynecologic issues to understand what makes endometriosis different and how to better treat it.
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.
This study gathers information from women with endometriosis and healthy women to better understand the condition. By participating, you help researchers learn more about endometriosis, which may lead to better care in the future.
