Closed Research Studies
Listed below are research studies that RADfertility has participated in over the years.
CLOSED - The EMPOWER Clinical Study
Approximately 1 out of 10 women have endometriosis. However, it may take 10 years for the average woman to receive a diagnosis. To us, this is unacceptable.
Join other women in helping us find a better way!
Earlier diagnosis of endometriosis is associated with better treatment outcomes and improved quality of life. The purpose of the EMPOWER Study is to evaluate a new investigational test which may be able to detect endometriosis.
If you are scheduled for a diagnostic laparoscopy for suspected endometriosis you may be eligible to participate.
Participants will receive compensation in appreciation for providing a blood and saliva sample and completing two brief questionnaires.
Contact Eileen Davies by email at rad-edavies@radfertility.com for more information.

CLOSED - AMH Study
RADfertility is currently seeking patients to participate in a research study by donating a blood sample that will help evaluate a test that measures Anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH). AMH is a naturally occurring hormone found in both men and women. In women, AMH, is related to the reproductive cycle and the ability to get pregnant, and may help identify women who may have problems getting pregnant because of poor ovarian response.
Eligible participants will be compensated as a result of their volunteer participation in this study.
If you are currently planning to undergo your 1st, 2nd, or 3rd cycle of ovarian stimulation for IVF, you may be eligible to participate in this research study if you meet the following eligibility:
- You are between the ages of 21 and 45 years old.
- You have regular menstual cycles (between 21 and 35 days).
- You have both of your ovaries.
- You are not currently on oral contraceptives.
- You do not have confirmed PCOS.
- You have not had any ovarian surgery within the last year.
- You have not recently had drug or radiation treatment for cancer.
- You are not currently pregnant
- You are willing to provide a blood sample according to the research study.

CLOSED - Endometriosis & Pelvic Pain Center Observational Study
RADfertility is currently seeking new patients to participate in an Endometriosis & Pelvic Pain Center Observational Study. This study will describe historic, current, and evolving treatment pathways, treatments, and interventions in women with a suspected or confirmed diagnosis of endometriosis in order to better understand the impact of early intervention on the disease or its symptoms. Length of treatment is dependent on standard of care treatment provided and all study information will be collected during routine standard of care visits.
Please note the study is not open to current or past patients at this time. There are no study medications associated with this research trial. Your plan of care remains the same if you are a participant in the study or not.
You may be eligible to participate if you:
- are of reproductive age (between their first menstrual cycle and before onset of menopause).
- have experienced chronic pelvic pain (CPP) and/or dysmenorrhea (DYS) for at least 6 months prior to enrollment without symptom improvement with non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) or hormone/medical treatment.
