Summary

This trial is testing whether two different treatments can improve heart function in women with endometriosis by reducing inflammation.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for women aged 18-45 with a prior diagnosis of endometriosis confirmed by laparoscopy within the last 5 years. Participants must not use nicotine, have diabetes, high blood pressure, abnormal liver function, cardiovascular disease, skin conditions or allergies relevant to the study drugs, and cannot be pregnant or breastfeeding.
What is being tested?
The trial is testing whether simvastatin (10mg) and SERM (bazedoxifene + conjugated estrogens) can reduce inflammation and improve cardiovascular function in women with endometriosis. The focus is on how these treatments affect endothelium-dependent vasodilation—a marker of vascular health.
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects may include muscle pain or weakness from simvastatin and hormonal changes such as hot flashes or leg cramps from bazedoxifene/estrogen therapy. Liver function might also be affected due to medication metabolism.
