LIBERTY 2: Efficacy & Safety Study of Relugolix in Women With Heavy Menstrual Bleeding Associated With Uterine Fibroids

March 23, 2022 updated by: Myovant Sciences GmbH

LIBERTY 2: An International Phase 3 Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Efficacy and Safety Study to Evaluate Relugolix Co-Administered With and Without Low-Dose Estradiol and Norethindrone Acetate in Women With Heavy Menstrual Bleeding Associated With Uterine Fibroids

The purpose of this study is to determine the benefit of relugolix 40 milligrams (mg) once a day co-administered with estradiol (E2) 1 mg and norethindrone acetate (NETA) 0.5 mg compared with placebo for 24 weeks on heavy menstrual bleeding associated with uterine fibroids.

Study Overview

Detailed Description

This study is an international phase 3 randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled efficacy and safety study to evaluate 24 weeks of oral daily relugolix 40 mg co-administered with low-dose E2 and NETA (Group A) and 12 weeks of daily oral relugolix 40 mg alone followed by 12 weeks of daily oral relugolix 40 mg co-administered with low-dose E2 and NETA (Group B) compared with 24 weeks of placebo (Group C).

All participants completing the Week 24 visit, including participants randomized to placebo, were offered the opportunity to enroll in an open-label extension study in which all eligible participants will receive relugolix co-administered with low-dose E2 and NETA. Participants who did not enroll into the extension study had a follow-up visit approximately 30 days after the end of treatment (that is, after the participant's last dose of study medication).

Safety will be assessed throughout the study by monitoring adverse events, vital signs, physical examinations, clinical laboratory tests, 12-lead electrocardiograms, and assessments of bone mineral density.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Percentage Of Participants Who Achieved A Menstrual Blood Loss (MBL) Volume Of < 80 mL And A ≥ 50% Reduction From Baseline MBL Volume With Relugolix Plus E2/NETA
Time Frame: From Baseline up to the last 35 days of treatment (up to Week 24)

A responder was a participant who had MBL volume of < 80 mL and at least a 50% reduction from baseline MBL volume over the last 35 days of treatment (up to Week 24). All returned feminine products collected at each clinical visit were analyzed by the alkaline hematin method to obtain the MBL volume. MBL volume was measured over the Week 24/early termination feminine product collection interval (up to 35 days prior to the last dose of treatment). The percentage of participants who were responders are presented.

As per the objective of the study, the pre-specified primary efficacy analyses compared relugolix plus E2/NETA with placebo. Therefore, only relugolix plus E2/NETA and placebo arms are presented.

From Baseline up to the last 35 days of treatment (up to Week 24)

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Percentage Of Participants With A Hemoglobin Level ≤ 10.5 g/dL At Baseline Who Achieved An Increase Of > 2 g/dL From Baseline At Week 24
Time Frame: From Baseline up to Week 24

Blood samples were collected from participants for hemoglobin measurements. Percentages are based on number of participants with hemoglobin ≤ 10.5 gram (g)/deciliter (dL) at Baseline and reported at Week 24.

As per the objective of the study, the pre-specified secondary efficacy analyses compared relugolix plus E2/NETA with placebo. Therefore, only relugolix plus E2/NETA with placebo arms are presented.

From Baseline up to Week 24
Percentage Of Participants Experiencing Vasomotor Symptoms Through Week 24
Time Frame: Baseline through Week 24

An adverse event was defined as an unfavorable or unintended sign (including an abnormal laboratory finding), symptom, or disease (new or exacerbated) temporally associated with the use of a medicinal product, whether or not related to the medicinal product. The preferred terms of hyperhidrosis, feeling hot, hot flush, night sweats, and flushing were combined to describe vasomotor symptoms. Participants with multiple events for a given preferred term were counted only once for each preferred term.

Reported percentages based on the total number of participants in each treatment group.

As per the objective of the study, the pre-specified secondary efficacy analyses compared relugolix plus E2/NETA with placebo. Therefore, only relugolix plus E2/NETA and placebo arms are presented.

Baseline through Week 24
Sustained Amenorrhea Rate (No Or Negligible Bleeding)
Time Frame: Week 24
