Primary outcomes

  1. Percentage of Participants in Amenorrhea at the End of Treatment Course 1

    Time frame: At the end of 18-weeks Treatment Course 1

    Amenorrhea was defined as no bleeding intensity score greater than 1 using the Daily Diary Card during the 28 days leading up to the last day of dosing at Week 18. Bleeding intensity was graded on a 5-point scale where: 0=no bleeding to 4=heavy bleeding.

Secondary outcomes

  1. Percentage of Participants in Amenorrhea at the End of Treatment Course 2

    Time frame: At the end of 18-weeks Treatment Course 2

    Amenorrhea was defined as no bleeding intensity score greater than 1 using the Daily Diary Card during the 28 days leading up to the last day of dosing at Week 18. Bleeding intensity was graded on a 5-point scale where: 0=no bleeding to 4=heavy bleeding.

  2. Change in Pictorial Blood Loss Assessment Chart (PBAC) Score From Baseline to the End of Treatment Courses 1 and 2, ODI Course 1 and the Course 2 Week 28 Follow-up (FU) Visit

    Time frame: Baseline (No treatment period) to the end of 18-weeks Treatment Course 1, the end of ODI Course 1, the end of 18-weeks Treatment Course 2 and the Course 2 Week 28 FU Visit

    Uterine bleeding was assessed with the use of the PBAC, a validated self-reporting method to estimate menstrual blood loss. Participants recorded daily the number of tampons and towels used and the degree to which individual items were soiled with blood (plus small or large clots). Pictorial scores range from score 1 for slightly stained tampon/towel, 5 for a partially stained tampon/towel, 10 for a completely saturated tampon, 20 for a completely saturated towel, and 5 for each episode of flooding and for each blood clot larger than a quarter in size. Total score can range from 0 (no bleeding) to >500. Higher scores indicate more bleeding. Lower scores indicate less bleeding. A negative change from Baseline indicates improvement (reduction in bleeding).
