BACKGROUND: Elagolix (ELA) 200 mg twice daily is an oral treatment approved for moderate-to-severe endometriosis-associated pain. However, the clinical use of ELA is limited by potential hypoestrogenic effects, including the loss of bone mi…
BACKGROUND: Elagolix, an approved oral treatment for endometriosis-associated pain, has been associated with hypoestrogenic effects when used as monotherapy. Hormonal add-back therapy has the potential to mitigate these effects. OBJECTIVE:…
ObjectiveTo investigate the efficacy of elagolix plus add-back therapy (estradiol [1 mg] and norethindrone acetate [0.5 mg] once daily) on patient-reported nonbleeding symptoms and menstrual bleeding associated with uterine fibroids (UFs) a…
Bone mineral density (BMD) changes during the life span, increasing rapidly during adolescence, plateauing in the third decade of life, and subsequently entering a phase of age-related decline. In women, menopause leads to accelerated bone …
ObjectiveTo investigate the safety and efficacy of elagolix, an oral gonadotropin-releasing hormone antagonist, with hormonal add-back therapy for up to 12 months in women with heavy menstrual bleeding associated with uterine leiomyomas.Met…
ObjectiveTo evaluate the long-term safety and efficacy of bremelanotide as treatment for hypoactive sexual desire disorder in premenopausal women.MethodsWomen who completed the 24-week double-blind core phase of RECONNECT, composed of two p…
ObjectiveTo evaluate elagolix, an oral gonadotropin-releasing hormone receptor antagonist, alone or with add-back therapy, in premenopausal women with heavy menstrual bleeding (greater than 80 mL per month) associated with uterine leiomyoma…
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the efficacy and safety of elagolix, an oral, nonpeptide gonadotropin-releasing hormone antagonist, over 12 months in women with endometriosis-associated pain. METHODS: Elaris Endometriosis (EM)-III and -IV were exten…
We highlight this paper for 3 reasons. First, remarkably there are few robust data on effective treatment options for endometriosis. Subcutaneous GnRH antagonists are sometimes used off-label, but with very limited evidence. Secondly, the c…
BACKGROUND: Endometriosis is a chronic, estrogen-dependent condition that causes dysmenorrhea and pelvic pain. Elagolix, an oral, nonpeptide, gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) antagonist, produced partial to nearly full estrogen suppres…
New therapies for abnormal uterine bleeding have been slow to reach the marketplace for a variety of reasons. These reasons include the availability of cost-effective therapies already available and the extraordinarily difficult and expensi…
ObjectiveTo comprehensively review and evaluate the direct costs of endometriosis.Design and settingWe systematically reviewed studies published since 1990, and conducted an analysis of publicly available national databases (Healthcare Cost…
ObjectiveThe purpose of this study was to assess the in vitro effect of gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonist on natural killer cell activity in women with and without endometriosis and to ascertain whether gonadotropin-releasing hormone a…
OBJECTIVE: A possible association of endometriosis with decreased bone mineral density in women has been proposed. It has been reported that cortical and trabecular bone mass of the distal portion of the radius is decreased in patients with…
OBJECTIVE: To survey the nonsurgical diagnostic techniques for distinguishing adenomyosis, and to determine whether one technique offers diagnostic advantages. DATA SOURCES: We conducted a thorough search of the MEDLINE data base and identi…
PURPOSE: To prospectively compare conventional spin-echo magnetic resonance (MR) imaging and transvaginal sonography for the diagnosis of adenomyosis. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Twenty women with clinically suspected adenomyosis underwent MR i…
The persuasive data not only illustrate a familial tendency towards adenomyosis but also emphasize that adenomyosis can be diagnosed noninvasively and accurately by MRI. A possible familial predisposition toward or a direct familial cause o…
Intrauterine insemination is commonly performed in the treatment of infertility. Infectious complications associated with intrauterine insemination are frequently cited, though rarely reported. A review of the literature yields only five re…
