Have you ever wondered how the safety of new medicines is researched? Would you like to be part of that process and do something good today? You will even receive payment for the time you give us during your participation.

Trials4Us conducts medical research to help develop new medicines. Our 2 research units, based in London at St George’s University Hospital and Mayday University Hospital, provide you with the safest and most comfortable facilities.

What's this all about?

We have been asked to undertake a study in healthy Caucasian and Japanese female volunteers aged between 20 and 64. This study will involvepre-menopausal Caucasian and Japanese females aged 20 to 40 (inclusive) and post-menopausal Caucasian females aged 50 to 64 (inclusive).

KLH-2109 has been developed for the treatment of endometriosis, a condition where cells like the ones in the lining of the womb are found growing elsewhere in the body, most commonly on the ovaries. The symptoms of endometriosis include painful, heavy or irregular monthly periods and pelvic pain. Endometriosis can be difficult to treat and so it is anticipated that the study drug (KLH-2109) will be effective in managing the condition to relieve the pain which often worsens in time with the menstrual cycle.

The main aim of the study is to see what effect the body has on thestudy drug, KLH-2109, to assess how well the body tolerates KLH-2109 and to see if there are any side effects. KLH-2109 is not available on prescription or as an over-the-counter medication.

We are looking for healthy post-menopausal Caucasian females aged 50 to 64 (inclusive).
