History of Changes
  Purpose

The aromatase inhibitor (anastrazole) plus long acting GnRH agonist leuprolide acetate will be tested for the treatment of women with endometriosis recurrence compared with classical GnRH analog treatment. Pain symptom disappearance and disease free time during follow-up will be the outcomes for establishing which medical treatment is the best in endometriosis recurrence treatment.


Condition Intervention Phase
Endometriosis
 Drug: anastrazole
Drug: GnRH analog alone
 Phase 4

Primary Outcome Measures:
  • disease free time [ Time Frame: 24 months ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]
    time without pain symptoms due to the disease recurrence


Secondary Outcome Measures:
  • time of pain disappearance [ Time Frame: 24 months ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]
    time needed during treatment to improve pain symptoms


Other Outcome Measures:
  • reduction of endometriosis lesions [ Time Frame: 24 months ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
    endometriosis lesions regression during treatment evidenced by MRI scan


Estimated Enrollment: 70
Study Start Date: January 2013
Estimated Study Completion Date: December 2013
Estimated Primary Completion Date: August 2013 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure)
Arms Assigned Interventions
Experimental: anastrazole
women with endometriosis recurrence will be treated with Leuprolide acetate 11,25mg plus anastrazole 1mg/day for three months
 Drug: anastrazole
combined treatment with aromatase inhibitor (anastrazole) plus GnRH analog (leuprolide acetate) for three months
Active Comparator: GnRH analog alone
women with endometriosis recurrence will be treated with leuprolide acetate 11.25mg
 Drug: GnRH analog alone
treatment for three months with GnRH analog (leuprolide acetate) alone

Detailed Description:

Endometriosis is a chronic disease affecting 5-10% of women in reproductive age, showing recurrence after surgery at least in 20-50% after 5 years of follow-up. Aromatase inhibitor plus GnRH analog may be more effective than GnRH agonist alone in the treatment of endometriosis recurrence.
