Immune system and gut bacteria in endometriosis
Treatments studied
Part of Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study looks at how the immune system and gut bacteria affect endometriosis. It may help find new treatments. You can join if you are having surgery for endometriosis or for another benign gynecological issue.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are a woman aged 18 to 42.
- You are scheduled for surgery during the luteal phase (the second half of your menstrual cycle).

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 looks at immune cells and the substances they release in women with endometriosis. It aims to better understand the disease and may lead to new insights for treatment.
This study looks at how tiny organisms (microbiota) inside the uterus and pelvis may be linked to endometriosis. If you are having surgery for endometriosis, researchers will collect tissue samples to compare the bacteria in your body with your symptoms.
This study looks at differences in the body’s microbes in people with endometriosis (and sometimes infertility) who are having key procedures through a laparoscopy (a small-camera surgery). It may help doctors better understand what’s going on and improve future treatment choices.
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 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.
