Ellele's proprietary balloon device collects a vaginal sample, which the company uses to search for biomarkers of endometrial and ovarian cancer and to build a women's health biobank. The exploratory Ellele-02 study (NCT07429799) plans to collect samples from 300 people with and without these cancers, with Gateshead Health NHS Foundation Trust and the Royal Infirmary of Edinburgh as collaborators. Its first registered cancer study, NCT07429799, was posted on ClinicalTrials.gov in February 2026.","asOf":"2026-10-29","links":[{"label":"Official website","url":"https://www.ellelehealth.com/"},{"label":"Contact and company details","url":"https://www.ellelehealth.com/contact"},{"label":"Ellele-02 study launch","url":"https://www.ellelehealth.com/updates/ellele-02-exploratory-study-launch-announcement"},{"label":"ClinicalTrials.gov: Ellele-02 exploratory study (NCT07429799)","url":"https://clinicaltrials.gov/study/NCT07429799"}],"tags":[],"related":[],"cancers":["endometrial","ovarian"],"sections":["diagnostics","early-detection"],"technologies":["preanalytics-sample-stabilisation"],"targets":[],"drugs":[],"companies":[],"institutions":[],"pathways":[],"terms":[],"trials":[],"people":[],"bottlenecks":[],"keyPapers":[],"journals":[],"dependsOn":[],"notes":["Founding year from the company's own 'Our story' text, read on 29 October 2026.
