E.2 Objective of the trial |
E.2.1 | Main objective of the trial |
To evaluate the long-term effect of relugolix 40 mg with estradiol 1.0 mg and norethindrone acetate 0.5 mg (relugolix with E2/NETA) once daily, compared with placebo on menstrual blood loss at Week 76 (24 weeks after randomization). |
|
E.2.2 | Secondary objectives of the trial |
• To evaluate the long-term effect of relugolix with E2/NETA once daily, compared with placebo on menstrual blood loss at 52-weeks after randomization. • To evaluate the effect of retreatment with relugolix with E2/NETA on menstrual blood loss in patients whose menstrual blood volume returned to ≥ 80 mL during the 52-week randomized period. • To evaluate the long-term effect of relugolix with E2/NETA at 52 weeks after randomization on the following: • Achievement of amenorrhea • Resumption of menses • Resumption of heavy menstrual bleeding (HMB) • Hemoglobin • Health-related quality of life as measured by the Short Form (36) (SF-36) • Patient Global Assessment (PGA) for function and symptoms • Work and productivity impact as measured by the Work Productivity •Activity Impairment-Uterine Fibroids (WPAI-UF) •Disease-specific quality of life as measured by the Uterine Fibroid Symptom and Health-Related Quality of Life (UFS-QoL). |

E.3 | Principal inclusion criteria |
A woman will be eligible for enrollment in this study only if all of the following inclusion criteria are met at the time of the Week 52/Baseline visit: 1. Completed the OLE study; 2. Has voluntarily signed and dated the informed consent form prior to initiation of any screening or study-specific procedures for MVT-601-035; Note: Procedures conducted as part of the OLE study that also serve as baseline procedures for this study may be done under the informed consent for the OLE study; 3. Is not expected to undergo gynecological surgery or ablation procedures for uterine fibroids within the study period, including the Safety Follow-up period; 4. Is a responder: Has a menstrual blood loss of < 80 mL AND at least a 50% reduction from the Parent study baseline based on the results of the alkaline hematin testing performed on the feminine products returned at the Week 48 visit of the OLE study. Results from Week 44 may be used if Week 48 data is unavailable; 5. Has a negative urine pregnancy test at the Week 52/Baseline visit; 6. Agrees to continue to use acceptable nonhormonal contraceptive methods as described in protocol consistently during the treatment period and for at least 30 days after the last dose of study drug. However, the patient is not required to use the specified nonhormonal contraceptive methods if she: a. Has a sexual partner(s) who was vasectomized at least 24 weeks prior to the Week 52/Baseline visit; b. Had a bilateral tubal occlusion (including ligation and blockage methods such as Essure™), at least 16 weeks prior to the Week 52/Baseline visit (patients with Essure must have prior confirmation of tubal occlusion by hysterosalpingogram) and there must be no evidence of post-Essure syndrome; c. Has a nonhormonal intrauterine device (e.g., Paragard®) placed in the uterus; d. Is not sexually active with men; periodic sexual relationship(s) with men requires the use of nonhormonal contraception as noted above; e. Practices total abstinence from sexual intercourse, as her preferred lifestyle; periodic abstinence is not acceptable. |
|
E.4 | Principal exclusion criteria |
None of the following criteria may be true for a patient to be eligible for enrollment into this study: 1. Has undergone myomectomy, ultrasound-guided laparoscopic radiofrequency ablation, or any other surgical procedure for fibroids, uterine artery embolization, magnetic resonance-guided focused ultrasound for fibroids, or endometrial ablation for abnormal uterine bleeding at any time during the Parent study or OLE study; 2. Has a weight that exceeds the weight limit of the DXA scanner or has a condition that precludes an adequate DXA measurement at the lumbar spine and proximal femur (e.g., bilateral hip replacement or spinal hardware in the lumbar spine); 3. Anticipates use of any prohibited medications as detailed in the protocol; 4. Has developed any contraindication to treatment with estradiol or norethindrone acetate including: a. Known or suspected breast cancer; b. Known or suspected estrogen-dependent neoplasia; c. Active deep vein thrombosis or pulmonary embolism; d. Active arterial thromboembolic disease, including stroke and myocardial infarction; e. Known anaphylactic reaction or angioedema or hypersensitivity to estradiol or norethindrone acetate; f. Known protein C, protein S, or antithrombin deficiency, or other known thrombophilia disorders, including Factor V Leiden; g. Migraine with aura; h. Porphyria; 5. Has current active liver disease from any cause; 6. Has a new diagnosis of a systemic autoimmune disease (e.g., systemic lupus erythematosus, Sjogren’s syndrome, rheumatoid arthritis, polymyositis, systemic sclerosis, psoriasis, psoriaticarthritis, vasculitic syndromes, etc.). Psoriasis not requiring or anticipated to require systemic therapy is permitted; 7. Had any of the following clinical laboratory abnormalities at the OLE study Week 48 visit or any subsequent visit: a. Alanine aminotransferase (ALT) or aspartate aminotransferase (AST) > 2.0 times the upper limit of normal (ULN); or b. Bilirubin (total bilirubin) > 1.5 x ULN (or > 2.0 x ULN if secondary to Gilbert syndrome or pattern consistent with Gilbert syndrome); c. Hemoglobin < 8 g/dL despite iron supplementation; 8. Is currently pregnant or lactating, or intends to become pregnant during the study period or within 4 weeks after the last dose of study drug, or plans to donate ova during the study period or within 8 weeks after the last dose of study drug; 9. Is inappropriate for participation in this study because of conditions that may interfere with interpretation of study results or prevent the patient from complying with study requirements, as determined by the investigator, sub-investigator, or medical monitor; 10. Met a withdrawal criterion in the OLE study.

E.5 End points |
E.5.1 | Primary end point(s) |
The primary endpoint of the study is the proportion of women who maintain a menstrual blood loss volume of < 80 mL at Week 76 (24 weeks of the randomized treatment period) as measured by the alkaline hematin method. The primary endpoint of responder rate will be evaluated using the mITT Population. |
