Evaluation of Safety, Pharmacokinetics, and Efficacy of Proellex Administered Vaginally in Women With Uterine Fibroids

Uterine Fibroids Clinical Trial

Official title: A Phase 2, 3 Arm, Randomized, Double-Blind Study to Evaluate the Safety, PK and Efficacy of Proellex® Administered Vaginally in the Treatment of Premenopausal Women With Uterine Fibroids

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

To determine the safety, pharmacokinetics and efficacy of 4 doses (3, 6, 12, 24 mg) of Proellex in premenopausal women with uterine fibroids confirmed by ultrasound. Drug will be administered vaginally.

Clinical Trial Description

This study is a phase II, 5 arm study with a 12 week active dosing period. The study will be conducted in 2 stages. In the first stage, the first 6 women to be enrolled will be treated at the 12mg dose level, and in addition to the other required study assessments will be monitored with a 24-hour PK assessment on Day 14, and daily trough assessments for the first 14 days. If, at Visit 3, the Cmax or AUC of any subject treated at 12mg exceeds the mean observed for the highest safe oral dose administered in the ZP-204 study, all subjects enrolled at the 12mg level will be discontinued, no further patients will be treated at this dose level, and the 6mg vaginal dose will be assessed in a similar fashion. In the second stage, the remaining subjects will be randomized to a dose of 3, 6, 12 or 24 mg.

For all subjects there will be a 4-6 week placebo run-in period, to establish baseline parameters (bleeding and quality of life) followed by treatment at one of three single-blind Proellex doses (3, 6 or 12 mg daily, administered vaginally in capsule form.) The primary efficacy endpoint will be bleeding assessed using the Pictorial Blood Loss Assessment Chart (PBAC) after 12 or 16 weeks of treatment. The secondary endpoints will be changes in size of uterine fibroids assessed by MRI and improvement in quality of life assessed using the Uterine Fibroid Symptom and Health-Related Quality of Life questionnaire (UFSQOL0. Safety endpoints include significant adverse events, changes in physical examination results, and/or clinical laboratory results significantly outside of normal range. For subjects enrolled in Stage 2, PK will be assessed after the first and last doses and trough levels every 2 weeks. ;
