RECRUITING

Endometriosis and Microvascular Dysfunction; Simvastatin and Duavee

Study Overview

This clinical trial focuses on testing the efficacy of different digital interventions to promote re-engagement in cancer-related long-term follow-up care for adolescent and young adult (AYA) survivors of childhood cancer.

Description

Purpose: To determine the effects of SERM and simvastatin interventions on endothelial dysfunction in women with endometriosis. Hypothesis: Treatment with the SERM (bazedoxifene + conjugated estrogen) or with simvastatin will decrease systemic inflammation and improve specific measures of cardiovascular function including endothelium-dependent vasodilation.
