Authorised Therapeutic use (Phase IV) Women with endometriosis undergoing IVF/ICSI

ENDO-REAL: Endometriosis and Reproductive Enhancement with Letrozole

EU CTIS ID: 2025-524995-53-00

What this study is testing

The primary objective of this study is to determine whether letrozole co-administration during ovarian stimulation for IVF/ICSI can improve the occurrence of a live birth following embryo transfer(s) in patients diagnosed with endometriosis +/- adenomyosis. Primary outcome will focus on cumulative live birth per stimulation cycle, including fresh and frozen embryo transfers resulting from the same oocyte aspiration and transferred within 1 year (52 weeks) of randomization. Live birth following fresh embryo transfer and number of ETs needed for successful pregnancy will also be evaluated as an important outcome.

Who can take part

You may be able to join if

  • Sub/infertile women with a diagnosis of endometriosis (all types/ stages) either by TVUS/ MRI or surgically and an indication for treatment with IVF/ICSI (based on existing guidelines) are eligible for the study.
  • Planned fresh ET following oocyte retrieval
  • Patient with and without concomitant adenomyosis will be included
  • The patient must have undergone not more than three consecutive unsuccessful IVF/ICSI cycles since the last ongoing pregnancy (whether fresh and/or several frozen ET resulted from these attempts). Each patient may only participate once.
  • Age ≥ 18 years and < 40 years
  • Body mass Index (BMI) < 35kg/m

You likely can't join if

  • Anti-müllerian hormone (AMH) < 0.5 ng/mL (dosage in the 1 year preceding randomization)
  • Abnormal uterine cavity (known mullerian duct anomalies, intra-uterine adhesions or other untreated intra-uterine pathology)
  • Untreated tubal factor (hydrosalpinx)
  • Any untreated endocrine abnormality
  • Surgically obtained sperm
  • Ovarian stimulation for pre-implantation genetic testing (PGT-A/M)
