Subdermální implantát-bioabsorbovatelné pelety Gestrinone pro léčbu endometriózy pánevní bolesti (GLADE)
Randomizovaná, placebem kontrolovaná, dvojitě zaslepená, multicentrická studie fáze II k prozkoumání bezpečnosti a explorační účinnosti bioabsorbovatelné pelety Gestrinonu subdermálním implantátem na bolest pánve sekundární k léčbě endometriózy
Pelvic pain is considered a symptom of multifactorial origin among which Endometriosis is the main gynecological cause affecting 5-10% of worldwide women in their reproductive years, negatively impacting their quality of life and work efficiency. Treatment of endometriosis-associated pelvic pain is challenging and there are surgical and/or hormonal treatments available with variable endpoints. Gestrinone is a synthetic derivative of 19-nortestosterone with anti-estrogen, anti-progestin, androgenic, and weak estrogen-like action. Previous studies show that the oral treatment with Gestrinone induced an improvement in symptoms associated with endometriosis but with adverse events such as androgenization and uterine bleeding. Parenteral administration of Gestrinone could be effective to treat pain symptoms secondary to endometriosis and minimize these adverse events. This study evaluates the safety and tolerability of subdermal implant-bioabsorbable gestrinone pellet use in women with pelvic pain secondary to endometriosis after 6 months of Gestrinone pellet insertion versus placebo pellet. PK profile of the gestrinone pellet will be monitored.

Detailní popis
This is a Phase 2, exploratory, multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study followed by an optional open-label pharmacokinetic extension.
This study aimed to assess the safety and tolerability profile of a subdermal 85-mg gestrinone bioabsorbable implant compared with a matched placebo bioabsorbable implant, in women with endometriosis-associated pelvic pain. The pharmacokinetics of the gestrinone implant will be monitored. Exploratory efficacy analyses will be descriptively reported for participant satisfaction, change in pelvic pain intensity, use of rescue pain medication, and quality of life.
One hundred patients will be randomized in a 1: 1 ratio. Initially, all the patients will undergo insertion of an intrauterine system of levonorgestrel release (Kyleena) as a contraceptive method. On the same day, after randomization, the subdermal implantation of the gestrinone (85 mg) or placebo pellet will be performed. Visits will occur after 3 and 6 months of the pellet insertion. Primary endpoint is a combination of serious adverse events (SAEs) accumulated within 6 months of pellet insertion and collected through spontaneous reporting and/or clinical findings.

Combination of serious adverse events (SAEs) accumulated within 6 months of gestrinone or placebo pellet insertion and collected through spontaneous reporting and/or clinical findings
Časové okno: From randomization to the end of study on 6 months after insertion of the gestrinone or placebo pellet
|
The primary safety outcome will be the proportion of patients who present serious adverse events (SAEs) over 6 months after randomization, defined as a combination of death, conditions that threat or present risk to life, conditions needing hospitalization or prolonging the pre-existing hospitalization, conditions causing disability or permanent damage, conditions leading to a congenital anomaly and any other significant medical occurrence that, based on appropriate medical judgment, may harm the participant and/or require medical or surgical intervention to prevent any of the other aforementioned occurrences. In this study, the occurrence of thromboembolic events (such as, for example, acute myocardial infarction, pulmonary embolism, deep vein thrombosis, ischemic stroke, and transient ischemic attack) was predefined as a significant medical event. |
