A Clinical Study to Evaluate the Safety and Efficacy of Elagolix in Subjects With Moderate to Severe Endometriosis-Associated Pain (ELARIS EM-I)

A Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Study to Evaluate the Safety and Efficacy of Elagolix in Subjects With Moderate to Severe Endometriosis-Associated Pain

A randomized study evaluating the safety and efficacy of elagolix in the management of moderate to severe endometriosis-associated pain in adult premenopausal female participants.

Study Overview

• Status: Completed
• Conditions: Endometriosis
• Intervention / Treatment: Drug: elagolix; Other: placebo

Detailed Description

This is a Phase 3, multicenter, double-blind, placebo-controlled, randomized study to assess the safety and efficacy of two doses of elagolix versus placebo in premenopausal 18 to 49 year old women with moderate to severe endometriosis-associated pain. The study consists of 4 periods: 1) Washout Period (if applicable); 2) a Screening Period of up to 100 days prior to first dose; 3) a 6 month Treatment Period; and 4) a Post treatment Follow-up Period of up to 12 months (if applicable). An electronic diary will be dispensed and training provided to record endometriosis-associated pain, uterine bleeding, and analgesic medication use for endometriosis-associated pain on a daily basis. Pregnancy testing will be performed monthly throughout the study.

• Study Type: Interventional
