Hormone shot before embryo transfer may boost pregnancy chances in severe endometriosis
NCT ID NCT07696351
First seen Jul 10, 2026 · Last updated Jul 10, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether giving two injections of a long-acting hormone (GnRH-a) before standard hormone therapy can improve pregnancy rates in women with deep infiltrating endometriosis undergoing their first frozen embryo transfer. The hormone pretreatment aims to suppress endometriosis lesions and reduce inflammation, potentially making the womb lining more receptive. Participants are randomly assigned to receive either the hormone pretreatment plus standard therapy or standard therapy alone, and the main outcome is the rate of clinical pregnancy detected by ultrasound.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Triptorelin (GnRH agonist)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this approach could increase the chance of pregnancy after frozen embryo transfer for women with deep infiltrating endometriosis.
- What could go wrong
- This is a mid-stage trial with 120 participants, so results may not apply to all patients. GnRH agonists can cause side effects like hot flashes and mood changes.
