E.2 Objective of the trial |
E.2.1 | Main objective of the trial |
•To evaluate the efficacy of PGL2001 with concomitant, continuous NETA administration versus placebo with concomitant, continuous NETA administration to relieve pain symptoms associated with endometriosis by Week 16 (end of PGL2001 treatment) |
|
E.2.2 | Secondary objectives of the trial |
•To evaluate the efficacy of PGL2001 with concomitant, continuous NETA administration to relieve pain symptoms associated with endometriosis over 28 weeks after end of treatment with PGL2001 (Week 16 up to Week 44).
•To evaluate the safety and tolerability of PGL2001 with concomitant, continuous NETA administration during 16-week PGL2001 treatment period and up to Week44 (28 weeks follow-up period).
•To evaluate the efficacy of PGL2001 with concomitant, continuous NETA administration to improve symptoms associated with endometriosis by Week 16 (end of PGL2001 treatment) and up to Week 44 (28 weeks follow-up period).
•To evaluate the pharmacokinetics (PK trough levels) of PGL2001 with concomitant, continuous NETA administration during 16 week PGL2001 treatment period and up to Week 44 (28 weeks follow-up period). |
