Key information

About this study

The study is a prospective, dose-finding, randomized, parallel group, double-blind, placebo-controlled phase 2b study investigating the efficacy and safety of OBE2109 in the treatment of 330 women with moderate-to-severe endometriosis associated pain.

Subject will be randomized to one of 6 treatment groups in a 1:1:1:1:1:1 ratio (1 placebo group, 5 dose groups with different dosage/regimen).

Eligible subjects will be offered the opportunity to continue treatment with OBE2109 in an extension phase. Subjects who do not continue in the extension will enter the treatment-free follow-up phase of the study.

Primary outcomes

  1. Percentage of Subjects With 30% or Greater Reduction From Baseline to Week 12 in Mean Overall Pelvic Pain Score (0-3 VRS)

    Time frame: From baseline to week 12

    The primary efficacy endpoint of the study was a response at Week 12, with response defined as a reduction of 30% or greater from baseline in the mean overall pelvic pain score, defined as the mean of daily pain scores reported in electronic diary during the preceding 28 days (4-week period), assessed on a Verbal Rating Scale for pelvic pain of 0 (no pain) to 3 (severe pain). The baseline mean score was calculated as the mean of daily scores recorded in electronic diary over the two complete menstrual cycles performed during the screening period.

    The relevant time points are Baseline and Week 12.

Secondary outcomes

  1. Change From Baseline to Week 12 in the Mean Overall Pelvic Pain Score (0-10 NRS)

    Time frame: From baseline to week 12

    This endpoint corresponds to the change from baseline to Week 12 in the mean overall pelvic pain score, defined as the mean of daily pain scores reported in electronic diary during the preceding 28 days (4-week period), assessed on a Numerical Rating Scale (NRS) for pelvic pain of 0 (no pelvic pain) to 10 (worst pelvic pain imaginable). The baseline mean score was calculated as the mean of daily scores recorded in electronic diary over the two complete menstrual cycles performed during the screening period.

    The relevant time points are Baseline and Week 12.

  2. Percentage of Subjects With 30% or Greater Reduction From Baseline to Week 12 in Mean Pelvic Pain Scores (0-3 VRS) for Days With Uterine Bleeding

    Time frame: From baseline to week 12

    This endpoint corresponds to a response at Week 12, with response defined as a reduction of 30% or greater from baseline in the mean pelvic pain score for days with uterine bleeding/spotting, defined as the mean of daily pain scores on days with uterine bleeding/spotting recorded in electronic diary during the preceding 28 days (4-week period), assessed on a Verbal Rating Scale for pelvic pain of 0 (no pain) to 3 (severe pain). The baseline mean score was calculated as the mean of daily scores recorded in electronic diary over the two complete menstrual cycles performed during the screening period.

    The relevant time points are Baseline and Week 12.

  3. Percentage of Subjects With 30% or Greater Reduction From Baseline to Week 12 in Mean Pelvic Pain Scores (0-3 VRS) for Days With no Uterine Bleeding

    Time frame: From baseline to week 12

    This endpoint corresponds to a response at Week 12, with response defined as a reduction of 30% or greater from baseline in the mean pelvic pain score for days with no uterine bleeding, defined as the mean of daily pain scores on days with no uterine bleeding recorded in electronic diary during the preceding 28 days (4-week period) on a Verbal Rating Scale for pelvic pain of 0 (no pain) to 3 (severe pain). The baseline mean score was calculated as the mean of daily scores recorded in electronic diary over the two complete menstrual cycles performed during the screening period.

    The relevant time points are Baseline and Week 12.

  4. Change From Baseline to Week 12 in the Mean Dyspareunia Score (0-3 VRS)

    Time frame: From baseline to week 12

    This endpoint corresponds to the change from baseline to Week 12 in the mean dyspareunia score, defined as the mean of daily dyspareunia scores recorded in electronic diary during the preceding 28 days (4-week period), assessed on a 0-3 Verbal Rating Scale (VRS) for dyspareunia, with 0 representing "No discomfort during sexual intercourse" and 3 representing "I avoided sexual intercourse because of pain". The baseline mean score was calculated as the mean of daily scores recorded in electronic diary over the two complete menstrual cycles performed during the screening period.

    The dyspareunia questionnaire also included an option "not applicable: I was not sexually active for reasons other than my endometriosis or did not have sexual intercourse"; for scoring, answering "not applicable" was considered like a missing value.

    The relevant time points are Baseline and Week 12.

  5. Change From Baseline to Week 12 in the Mean Dyschezia Score (0-10 NRS)

    Time frame: From baseline to week 12

    This endpoint corresponds to the change from baseline to week 12 in the mean dyschezia score, defined as the mean of weekly dyschezia scores reported in electronic diary during the preceding 28 days (4-week period), assessed on a 0-10 Numerical Rating Scale for dyschezia, with 0 representing no pain and 10 representing the worst pain imaginable. The baseline mean score was calculated as the mean of weekly scores recorded in electronic diary over the two complete menstrual cycles performed during the screening period.

    The relevant time points are Baseline and Week 12.

  6. Percentage of Subjects With Any Analgesics Use at Week 12

    Time frame: Up to week 12

    This endpoint corresponds to the percentage of subjects at week 12 who recorded at least one pain medication intake in electronic diary during the preceding 28 days (4-week period).

  7. Change From Baseline to Week 12 in the Mean Score of Endometriosis Health Profile-30 (EHP-30) Pain Domain

    Time frame: From baseline to week 12

    This endpoint corresponds to the change from baseline to Week 12 in the mean score of pain dimension of the EHP-30. The EHP-30 questionnaire was answered on electronic diary after activation by site staff during subject's monthly visits at site.

    The EHP-30 pain dimension consists of 11 items each addressing the effect of pain on various activities in the past 4 weeks and each assessed on a 5-point scale (0=Never through to 4=Always). Scaled score was equalled to total of raw score of each item in scale divided by the maximum possible raw score of all the items in the dimension, multiplied by 100, resulting in a score on a scale from 0 (best possible health status) to 100 (worst possible health status).

    The relevant time points are Baseline and Week 12.

  8. Percentage of Subjects With Improvement in the Patient Global Impression of Change (PGIC) Score at Week 12

    Time frame: Up to week 12

    The PGIC questionnaire consists of one question rated on a seven point scale (1="Very Much Improved" to 7="Very Much Worse"), with which the subject had to qualify her overall status since the start of the study. The PGIC was answered on electronic diary after activation by site staff during Week 12 visit at site.

    This endpoint corresponds to the percentage of subjects with an "improvement" in the PGIC score, which includes all subjects who answered "Very much improved" or "Much improved" or "Minimally improved" at Week 12.

  9. Percentage of Subjects With an Endometriosis Severity Score of "Severe" at Week 12

    Time frame: Up to week 12

    Subject was asked monthly on electronic diary to assess their impression of endometriosis severity, considering the preceding 4-weeks, with following possible answers: no symptoms, very mild, mild, moderate, severe. This question was programmed to raise automatically every 4 weeks on the subject electronic diary. Result reported here is the percentage of subjects who answered "severe" at week 12.
