EPiC+ study

EPiC+ is a study to find out how many women are slow or fast metabolisers of Dichloroacetate (DCA), which is the treatment we used in the EPiC study for endometriosis-related pain.

Why?

To find out how women metabolise (process) DCA in their bodies so that we can work out the proper dose to give when we run a bigger study using DCA as a treatment for endometriosis-related pain.

Who?

Women, who can give a blood sample, with endometriosis-related pain.  They must be 16 or over, pre-menopausal and been diagnosed with endometriosis in the last 10 years.

Where?

Royal Infirmary of Edinburgh

Recruitment target

100 women
