Eligibility Criteria Checklist
Specific guidelines that determine who can or cannot participate in a clinical trial Must have
Age ≥18 and <40 years at time of egg retrieval or signing informed consent
Documentation of diagnosis of endometriosis by surgical visualization of endometriosis (laparoscopy or laparotomy) or diagnosis by pathology within the last 10 years before the initial trial entry visit or documentation of ovarian endometrioma >2 cm or two or more smaller endometriomas that total >2 cm in diameter. If entry is based on the presence of an endometrioma, transvaginal ultrasound evaluation must document the same unambiguous endometrioma on two separate occasions in more than one menstrual cycle. Images will be printed or transmitted electronically and read centrally by investigators at Yale to assure uniform diagnostic criteria (classic ground glass appearance) are applied
Must not have
Presence of hydrosalpinx measuring >2cm on ultrasound, untreated endometrial polyps or intrauterine adhesions
Patients with cirrhosis or abnormal LFTs per self report or documented in the electronic medical record (EMR)

2Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Active Control
Group I: Pre-IVF Treatment with 60 day course of Placebo or SOC IVFExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
For those who agree to be randomized, subjects will be randomized to placebo, BID. The medication will be taken orally and subjects will be counseled to take the medication at the same time each day. This arm will also include participants who want to continue their ongoing or planned IVF and follow standard of care (SOC) (SOC IVF) if the participants do not want to delay the IVF procedure.
