Pelvic pain is the main clinical manifestation associated with endometriosis, a disorder caused by endometrial tissues growing outside the uterus. Pain relievers, hormonal contraceptives, aromatase inhibitors, androgenic agents, and gonadotropin-releasing hormone (Gn-RH) agonists are currently used to manage endometriosis-associated pelvic pain. However, more-efficacious and more easily administered medical options remain a high unmet need. The launches of second-generation, orally administered Gn-RH antagonists will significantly expand the endometriosis therapeutic market by 2026.
