Endometriosis: what the trials found

Several GnRH antagonists and agonists have been evaluated for the management of endometriosis-related pain. Elagolix demonstrated significant improvements in both dysmenorrhea (DYS) and non-menstrual pelvic pain (NMPP) at 3 months compared to placebo, with statistically significant reductions in Numeric Rating Scale (NRS) scores [14, 15, 19, 20]. Linzagolix showed a significant proportion of responders for dysmenorrhea at month 3 17, while relugolix demonstrated high responder rates for both DYS and NMPP at weeks 52 and 104 16.

Hormonal treatments including estradiol/norethindrone acetate showed statistically significant improvements in DYS and NMPP outcomes at months 6 and 12 18. Triptorelin pamoate was shown to effectively achieve castrated status (E2 levels ≤184 Pmol/L or 50 pg/mL) by week 12 21.

Cyclic microgestin 1/20 showed a statistically significant reduction in bladder pain sensitivity from baseline, though changes in pelvic hyperalgesia and cortical activity were not significantly different from baseline 10. Ulipristal was associated with a statistically significant reduction in pelvic pain 11.

Recent results — preliminary, needs further review

  • OG-6129 showed mean overall pelvic pain score reductions of -1.5 to -2.0 by treatment cycle 3 1.
  • A 5% lidocaine/5 mg/ml 0.02% estradiol compound cream did not significantly change pain scores during the tampon test or on the SF-MPQ, but showed a significant improvement in self-reported physical health via SF-12 2.
  • Placebo oral tablets were compared against letrozole; however, no significant difference was found in the delta of endometriosis pain scores between patients receiving placebo and those with no endometriosis 3.
  • Peer Empowered Endometriosis Pain Support (PEEPS) 6 and 'My Pelvic Plan' website interventions were studied but did not show statistically significant differences in PROMIS pain interference, intensity, or self-efficacy scores compared to other groups 7.

For the clinician treating this condition

  • Elagolix, linzagolix, and relugolix are established options for reducing both dysmenorrhea and non-menstrual pelvic pain.
  • Estradiol/norethindrone acetate and triptorelin pamoate provide established pathways for managing symptoms or achieving hormonal castration status.
  • Cyclic microgestin 1/20 is associated with reduced bladder pain sensitivity, though its impact on hyperalgesia parameters is not statistically confirmed.

Questions about Endometriosis

Does exposure to BPA increase my risk of developing endometriosis based on recent studies?

Yes, recent meta-analyses show BPA exposure is linked to a higher risk of endometriosis, with odds ratios of 1.36 and 1.82.
