Mitochondrial DNA Deletions in Plasma as a Diagnostic Aid for Females Presenting With Symptoms of Endometriosis

Summary

This study will investigate the clinical performance and diagnostic accuracy of the Mitomic® Endometriosis Test (MET) compared to laparoscopic diagnosis in a prospective clinical study in females presenting with symptoms suggestive of endometriosis. This study will recruit patients with suspected endometriosis who have been referred for a diagnostic laparoscopy. Patients will complete a questionnaire about their endometriosis symptoms and a sample of blood will be taken prior to their laparoscopy and sent to the laboratory for the MET to be run. This study aims to first enroll 104 subjects to support the clinical validation necessary for launch of the test as an LDT. Following this, we plan a study extension with an aim to enroll up to 900 more (for a total of 1000) subjects to enable more precise estimation of performance characteristics, characterization of test performance in subtypes of endometriosis, to better understand the relationship between test results and secondary endpoints such as symptoms and demographic variables, and to establish a bank of samples to support future test development.
