SR-16234, a Novel Selective Estrogen Receptor Modulator for Pain Symptoms with Endometriosis: An Open-label Clinical Trial.
This open-label trial found that 12 weeks of SR-16234 treatment significantly reduced pelvic pain and dysmenorrhea in endometriosis patients compared to baseline.

This open-label, single-arm clinical trial evaluated the efficacy and safety of SR-16234, a selective estrogen receptor modulator with reported ERα antagonistic and ERβ partial agonistic activity, for pain symptoms in endometriosis and adenomyosis patients. Ten participants with dysmenorrhea and pelvic pain associated with endometriosis and adenomyosis received 40 mg SR-16234 once daily for 12 weeks, with pelvic pain VAS as the primary endpoint and secondary assessments including dysmenorrhea scores, pelvic pain scores, objective observations (e.g., Douglas’ pouch stiffness, uterine movement limitation, ovarian chocolate cyst size, endometrial thickness, and serum CA125), and safety. After 12 weeks, baseline comparisons showed statistically significant decreases in pelvic pain VAS and total pelvic pain and dysmenorrhea scores, as well as improvements in several objective measures. The study’s main caveat is its small sample size and lack of a control group, limiting causal inference. This paper is centrally about endometriosis — it reports a clinical trial of SR-16234 for pain associated with endometriosis (and includes adenomyosis patients as well).
