E.2 Objective of the trial |
E.2.1 | Main objective of the trial |
Assessment of safety of 5 mg of mifepristone for the treatment of endometriosis in premenopausal women during two treatment cycles of 24 weeks each based on the incidence of endometrial abnormalities, defined as cancer or endometrial hyperplasia, as measured by endometrial biopsy. |
|
E.2.2 | Secondary objectives of the trial |
The secondary objectives of the present trial are the assessment of the following safety outcomes after treatment with Mifepristone 5 mg over two 24-week treatment cycles: • change in endometrial thickness as measured by transvaginal ultrasound • safety of mifepristone for the treatment of endometriosis in terms of the incidence of Adverse Events and Serious Adverse Events • vaginal bleeding during treatment with mifepristone.

E.3 | Principal inclusion criteria |
[1] Premenopausal female, from 18 years of age inclusive, at the time of signing consent [2] Patients with Endometriosis Associated Pelvic Pain (EAPP: i.e. any type of pelvic pain associated with endometriosis: non-menstrual pelvic pain, dysmenorrhea, dyschezia and dyspareunia) and with history of EAPP for at least the past 6 months prior to the initial screening visit [3] Endometriosis diagnosed by laparoscopy and/or surgery in the past 10 years or less or diagnosed by MRI or transvaginal ultrasound in the past 5 years [4] Patients with a history of regular menstrual cycles (21-35 days) while not being on any pharmacological treatment that could alter the menstrual cycle (e.g. oral contraceptive pills) [5] Patients who agree to use only ibuprofen 400 mg as rescue medication up to a total daily dose of not more than 2400 mg [6] Patients willing and able (e.g. mental and physical condition) to participate in all aspects of the study as evidenced by providing signed written informed consent [7] Patient agrees to use double barrier contraception birth control methods (e.g. condom with spermicide) during the entire length of participation in the study. Patient is not required to use double barrier contraception methods if: - Sexual partner(s) is (are) vasectomized, at least 6 months prior to screening - Patient has had a bilateral tubal occlusion (including ligation and blockage methods such as Essure®), at least 3 months prior to screening - Patient is not sexually active with men; periodic sexual relationship(s) with men requires the use of dual non-hormonal contraception as noted above.
