New hope for endometriosis? Plant-Based pill takes on hormone therapy

NCT ID NCT07164183

First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This phase 3 trial tests whether a plant-based supplement (Indinol Forto, made from indole-3-carbinol) works as well as a standard hormone drug (Visanne, dienogest) for reducing pelvic pain in endometriosis. About 290 women aged 18-45 with surgically confirmed endometriosis will take one of the two treatments for 24 weeks. The main goal is to see if pain scores improve similarly in both groups.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance

Indinol Forto (indole-3-carbinol) and Visanne (dienogest)

What this could lead to

If successful, this could offer a new non-hormonal option for managing endometriosis pain, potentially with fewer side effects than current hormone therapies.

What could go wrong

This is a non-inferiority trial, so it may only show that Indinol Forto is no worse than Visanne, not necessarily better. The open-label design (no placebo) could bias results, and the study is still recruiting.
