Clinical Studies

Within living memory, FDA policies previously recommended excluding women from clinical trials. This had deep consequences on our collective knowledge of how drugs impact female-born bodies. Research drives novel and profound discoveries about the world and ourselves. We will not be left out again.

Overview

  • We study your menstrual blood to advance women's health.
  • We are seeking participation in our studies from people with diverse backgrounds, ethnicities, health conditions, ages, and life-styles in order to build the most comprehensive and broadly relevant products.
  • If you are interested in learning more about how you can participate, check out the registries below. We ask you a few questions to understand which studies are the right fit for you. If you meet the criteria for an actively recruiting study, we'll reach out right away. If not, you'll stay in our registry and we'll contact you as new studies open up.

Sign up for the right registry

We've provided brief descriptions below of the three currently enrolling registries. You might fit into more than one (if you have endometriosis and IBD, for example). Pick the registry that most closely describes you and let us know in the open comments section any context that is important for us to know. A member of our team will review the information and reach out to you.

Reproductive Health Registry
For people with endometriosis, adenomyosis, fibroids, PCOS, or infertility — whether diagnosed or suspected. Your samples power our work to understand how to better diagnose and treat these conditions.
I&I Registry
For people with an autoimmune or inflammatory condition. We're studying what drives these diseases and new approaches to getting your body to homeostasis.
Autoimmune: Lupus, Rheumatoid Arthritis, Sjögren's, Hidradenitis Suppurativa.
Inflammatory: Crohn's, Ulcerative Colitis, Lyme, Sarcoidosis.
Healthy Controls Registry
For people who don't have any known gynecologic or immune/inflammatory conditions. Your samples are the baseline every discovery is measured against — the science doesn't work without you.
