E.2.2 | Secondary objectives of the trial |
EXPLORATORY EFFICACY OBJECTIVES:•To explore efficacy of PGL5001 with concomitant DMPA administration versus placebo with concomitant DMPA administration in: reducing endometriosis red lesions (and/or inflammatory lesions),reducing non-active endometriosis black lesions,reducing endometriosis associated-adhesions,improving endometriosis-related symptoms such as pain;•To evaluate the pharmacodynamics (PD) of PGL5001, establishing the relationship between JNK activity and endometriosis progression by assessing the level of different markers, especially inflammatory markers in the peritoneal fluid, blood and tissue samples (eutopic and ectopic endometrium). For PHARMACOKINETIC OBJECTIVES and SAFETY OBJECTIVES please refer to study protocol, section 2.2 and 2.3. |
