Patients' and clinicians' perspectives on item importance, scoring, and clinically meaningful differences for the Endometriosis Symptom Diary (ESD) and Endometriosis Impact Scale (EIS)
Health and quality of life outcomes ·doi:10.1186/s12955-020-01579-7

BACKGROUND: The Endometriosis Symptom Diary (ESD) and Endometriosis Impact Scale (EIS) are patient-reported outcome measures developed to evaluate efficacy in clinical trials and clinical practice. The ESD is a daily electronic diary assess…

Absence of Drug‐Drug Interaction of Anastrozole on Levonorgestrel Delivered Simultaneously by an Intravaginal Ring: Results of a Phase 2 Trial
Journal of clinical pharmacology ·doi:10.1002/jcph.1396

Intravaginal rings (IVRs) are an established option for continuous administration of drugs in women. The combination of anastrozole (ATZ) and levonorgestrel (LNG) in an IVR with an intended 4-week wearing period has been considered for long…

Efficacy, safety and tolerability of the CCR1 antagonist BAY 86‐5047 for the treatment of endometriosis‐associated pelvic pain: a randomized controlled trial
Acta obstetricia et gynecologica Scandinavica ·doi:10.1111/aogs.13105

INTRODUCTION: Antagonism of CC chemokine receptor type 1 (CCR1) may provide a novel treatment approach for women with symptomatic endometriosis. Studies of CCR1 antagonists in these patients have not been reported. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Wom…

Model‐Based Dose Selection for Intravaginal Ring Formulations Releasing Anastrozole and Levonorgestrel Intended for the Treatment of Endometriosis Symptoms
Journal of clinical pharmacology ·doi:10.1002/jcph.846

Pharmacokinetics (PK) of anastrozole (ATZ) and levonorgestrel (LNG) released from an intravaginal ring (IVR) intended to treat endometriosis symptoms were characterized, and the exposure-response relationship focusing on the development of …

Characterization of anastrozole effects, delivered by an intravaginal ring in cynomolgus monkeys
Human Reproduction ·doi:10.1093/humrep/deu315

Is it feasible to deliver anastrozole (ATZ), an aromatase inhibitor (AI), by a vaginal polymer-based drug delivery system in the cynomolgus monkey (Macaca fascicularis) to describe the pharmacokinetic profile? The present study showed the e…

Defining a minimal clinically important difference for endometriosis-associated pelvic pain measured on a visual analog scale: analyses of two placebo-controlled, randomized trials
Health and quality of life outcomes ·doi:10.1186/1477-7525-8-138

BACKGROUND: When comparing active treatments, a non-inferiority (or one-sided equivalence) study design is often used. This design requires the definition of a non-inferiority margin, the threshold value of clinical relevance. In recent stu…
