Clinical Trial Summary

This study is designed to see how elagolix works compared to placebo in women with endometriosis and to see the effect, if any, on bone mineral density.


Description:

This is a Phase II, multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled parallel-group study to assess the efficacy and safety of elagolix at two dose levels administered once daily for up to 6 months. Participants will be randomized (1:1:1) to one of the following treatment groups for the first 12 weeks of dosing: 150 mg elagolix once daily (QD); 250 mg elagolix QD or placebo QD. Following 12 weeks of dosing, participants will continue in the study for an additional 12 weeks; participants randomized to elagolix will continue to receive their assigned dose and participants randomized to placebo will be re-randomized to receive one of the two doses of elagolix for 12 weeks in a double-blind fashion. Six weeks after the last dose of study drug at the end of Week 24, a follow-up visit will be performed (end of Week 30).

Outcome

Type Measure Description Time frame Safety issue
Primary Change From Baseline in the Monthly Mean Numerical Rating Score (NRS) for Endometriosis Pain at Week 12 The NRS is an 11-point scale used to measure endometriosis pain and was completed at approximately the same time each day using an electronic diary (e-Diary). Participants were instructed to select a single number between 0 (No pain) and 10 (Worst pain ever) that best described their endometriosis pain at its worst over the past day.
The monthly mean NRS is the average of the daily values reported during the 4 weeks prior to each visit.
Baseline and week 12
Secondary Change From Baseline in the Monthly Mean Numerical Rating Score (NRS) for Endometriosis Pain The NRS is an 11-point scale used to measure endometriosis pain and was completed at approximately the same time each day using an electronic diary (e-Diary). Participants were instructed to select a single number between 0 (No pain) and 10 (Worst pain ever) that best described their endometriosis pain at its worst over the past day.
The monthly mean NRS is the average of the daily values reported during the 4 weeks prior to each visit.
Baseline and weeks 4 and 8
Secondary Change From Baseline in the Monthly Peak Numerical Rating Score (NRS) for Endometriosis Pain The NRS is an 11-point scale used to measure endometriosis pain and was completed at approximately the same time each day using an electronic diary (e-Diary). Participants were instructed to select a single number between 0 (No pain) and 10 (Worst pain ever) that best described their endometriosis pain at its worst over the past day.
The monthly peak NRS is the maximum of the daily values reported during the 4 weeks prior to each visit.
Baseline and Weeks 4, 8, and 12
Secondary Change From Baseline in the Monthly Mean Non-menstrual Pelvic Pain Score Participants assessed their pelvic pain not related to menses and its impact on their daily activities at approximately the same time every day in an e-Diary according to the following response options:
0 = No pelvic pain
1 = Mild pelvic pain; subject could not do some of the things she usually does
2 = Moderate pelvic pain; subject could not do many of the things she usually does
3 = Severe pelvic pain; subject could not do most or all of the things she usually does.
The monthly mean non-menstrual pelvic pain score is the average of the daily values reported during the 4 weeks prior to each visit.
Baseline and weeks 4, 8, and 12
Secondary Change From Baseline in the Monthly Mean Dysmenorrhea Score Participants assessed dysmenorrhea (pain during menstruation) and its impact on their daily activities at approximately the same time each day in an e-Diary according to the following response options:
Subject is not having her period
0 = No pain related to period
1 = Mild pain related to period; subject could not do some of the things she usually does
2 = Moderate pain related to period; subject could not do many of the things she usually does
3 = Severe pain related to period; subject could not do most of or all of the things she usually does.
The monthly mean dysmenorrhea score is the average of the daily values reported during the 4 weeks prior to each visit.
Baseline and Weeks 4, 8, and 12
Secondary Change From Baseline in the Monthly Mean Total of Dysmenorrhea and Non-menstrual Pelvic Pain Scores Participants assessed dysmenorrhea and pelvic pain not related to menses and their impact on daily activities at approximately the same time every day on a 4-point scale (0 = none, 1 = mild, 2 = moderate, and 3 = severe) in an e-Diary.
The sum of the dysmenorrhea and non-menstrual pelvic pain scores on each day were calculated to create a daily total score. On days the participant was not having her period, the dysmenorrhea score was not defined; hence, the total score was equal to the non-menstrual pelvic pain score (range 0 to 3). On days where the participant recorded menstruation the total score ranged from 0 to 6, where higher scores indicate more severe pain. The monthly mean sum of dysmenorrhea and non-menstrual pelvic pain scores is the average of the daily values reported during the 4 weeks prior to each visit.
Baseline and Weeks 4, 8, and 12
Secondary Percentage of Days With No Pain Based on NRS The NRS is an 11-point scale used to measure endometriosis pain and was completed at approximately the same time each day using an electronic diary (e-Diary). Participants were instructed to select a single number between 0 (No pain) and 10 (Worst pain ever) that best described their endometriosis pain at its worst over the past day.
The percentage of days a participant reported a value of zero (or "no pain") for the NRS was calculated for the 4 weeks prior to each visit.

Secondary Change From Baseline in Endometriosis Health Profile-5 (EHP-5) at Week 12 The EHP-5 is an instrument to measure health-related quality of life in women with endometriosis. The EHP-5 consists of two parts:
A core questionnaire consisting of five questions that measure the areas of pain, control and powerlessness, emotional well-being, social support, and self-image with five response categories for each item (Never, Rarely, Sometimes, Often, Always)
A supplemental questionnaire consisting of six additional questions which assess the areas of work, relationship with children, sexual intercourse, feelings about the medical profession, treatment, and infertility with the same five response categories plus an additional response category of Not Relevant which was not scored.
The scores associated with each possible outcome category are as follows: never (0), rarely (25), sometimes (50), often (75), and always (100). A negative change from baseline score indicates improvement in quality of life.
