Randomized Study of Gonadotropin-releasing-hormone Agonist (GnRH-a) or Expectant Management for Endometriosis
March 14, 2011 updated by: Zhejiang University
A Randomized Study Comparing Goserelin or Expectant Management Following Laparoscopic Surgery for Advanced Endometriosis
The purpose of this study is to identify the recurrent rate and pregnancy rate of advanced endometriosis after laparoscopic surgery plus GnRHa goserelin acetate treatment.

Detailed Description
In order to decrease endometriosis recurrence and enhance pregnancy rate after surgical therapy, it has been proposed to use a post-surgical gonadotropin-releasing-hormone agonist (GnRHa) treatment.
Data on the short-term recurrence of advanced endometriosis is rare.
Although operative treatment has resulted in increasing pregnancy rate comparing non surgery management for moderate to severe endometriosis, very few data of spontaneous pregnancy rate are available comparing GnRHa treatment or expectant management after surgery treatment.
In this situation, the investigators conduct a prospective, randomized, controlled study to determine whether postoperative GnRHa (goserelin acetate) therapy for advanced endometriosis is effective in reducing endometriosis recurrence rate and improving reproductive outcome.

Arms and Interventions
Participant Group / Arm |
Intervention / Treatment |
---|---|
Experimental: 1
Patients in this arm will be treated with goserelin depot-3.6mg
plus add-back therapy.
|
The patient will be managed with GnRH-a injection (Goserelin 3.6mg) every 4 weeks for 6 months plus add-back therapy (Caltrate With Vitamin D 600mg p.o. q.d.& Livial 1.25-2.5mg
p.o. q.d.) if needed.

No Intervention: 2
The patient with advanced endometriosis(stage III-IV)confirmed histologically after conservative laparoscopic surgery will be suggested to prepare for spontaneous pregnancy rather than any medical administration.
