Summary

The purpose of this proof-of-concept study is to assess the safety and effectiveness of elagolix versus placebo to reduce uterine bleeding associated with uterine fibroids, and to reduce fibroid volume and uterine volume in premenopausal women 20 to 49 years of age with heavy uterine bleeding.

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion Criteria

  • Subject is a pre-menopausal female 20 to 49 years of age.
  • Subject has a diagnosis of uterine fibroids documented by a pelvic ultrasound assessed by a central reader and verification that a fibroid present met the following criteria:
  • At least 1 fibroid with diameter ≥ 2 cm (longest diameter), or multiple small fibroids with a total uterine volume of ≥ 200 cm³ to ≤ 2,500 cm³ (approximately 22 weeks' gestation) as documented by a centrally read ultrasound.
  • Only intramural, submucosal non-pedunculated, and subserosal fibroids qualified subjects for enrollment (intracavitary pedunculated fibroids were exclusionary).
  • Ultrasound procedures were performed during the Screening Period, and subjects were not randomized until the investigator reviewed the central reader results verifying the inclusion requirements.
  • Subject has a history of regular menstrual cycles between 24 to 35 days.
  • Subject has heavy uterine bleeding associated with uterine fibroids as evidenced by blood loss > 80 mL during 2 screening menstrual cycles, measured by the alkaline hematin method.

Exclusion Criteria

  • Subject has had a myomectomy, uterine artery embolization, or high intensity focused ultrasound for fibroid destruction within 1 year prior to randomization or any history of endometrial ablation.
  • Subject has a history of osteoporosis or other metabolic bone disease.
  • Subject shows evidence of clinically significant hematological, renal, endocrine, pulmonary, gastrointestinal, cardiovascular, hepatic, psychiatric (including depression), or neurologic diseases or any uncontrolled medical illness such as uncontrolled type 2 diabetes.
  • Subject has a history of clinically significant condition(s) including but not limited to:
  • Endometriosis
  • Epilepsy or seizures
  • Type 1 diabetes
  • Any cancer (except basal cell carcinoma of the skin), including breast or ovarian cancer or subject has taken any systemic cancer chemotherapy
