Study Endpoints

Primary Endpoints

Change of endometriosis associated pelvic pain (EAPP) measured by visual analog scale (VAS) from baseline to 24 weeks
24 weeks after baseline
Relative change in bone mineral density (BMD) of the lumbar spine as assessed by dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA)
Baseline week 52

The measurement of BMD by DEXA is the gold standard method for investigation of bone mass.

No primary variables defined, all variables are considered exploratory since no confirmatory statistical analysis planned
