Summary
This randomized multicenter phase 3b study seeks to evaluate the safety of elagolix in combination with estradiol/norethindrone acetate for the management of heavy menstrual bleeding associated with uterine fibroids in premenopausal women. This study was double-blind (DB) during the first 12 months and open-label (OL) for the next 36 months.
