About this study

Official title: A Randomized, Double-blind, Parallel-group, Multicenter Phase 2b Study to Assess the Efficacy and Safety of Two Different Doses of Vilaprisan (BAY1002670) Versus Placebo in Women With Symptomatic Endometriosis

The primary objective of this study was to assess the efficacy and safety of two doses of vilaprisan compared to placebo in women with symptomatic endometriosis.

The secondary objective of this study was to evaluate the safety and tolerability of two different doses of vilaprisan in women with symptomatic endometriosis.

With the implementation of protocol version 4.0 dated 11-Dec-2018, no new subjects were enrolled. The objectives above cannot be reached as only limited data is available from subjects recruited before the temporary pause.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Mean Worst Pelvic Pain (Measured on a Numerical Rating Scale [NRS], Recorded in the Daily Endometriosis Symptom Diary [ESD])

    Pain intensity was assessed on 11-point (0-10) NRS by ESD item 1. In ESD item 1, participants were asked to rate the worst pain in the target area during the past 24 hours, where 0= no pain and 10= worst imaginable pain and responses were recorded in ESD. Mean 'worst pelvic pain' was calculated as the sum of the participant's daily assessments of the ESD item 1 ("worst pain" during the last 24 hours) during a study period divided by number of days with pain assessment in that study period. This was summarized by study period. No inferential statistical analysis was performed.

    Measured: Screening period (up to a maximum of 75 days) + treatment period (up to a maximum of 168 days)

Secondary outcomes (8)
  1. Mean Worst Pelvic Pain (Measured on a Numerical Rating Scale [NRS], Recorded in the Daily Endometriosis Symptom Diary [ESD]) on Days With/Without Vaginal Bleeding

    Pain intensity was assessed on 11-point (0-10) NRS by ESD item 1. In ESD item 1, participants were asked to rate the worst pain in the target area during the past 24 hours, where 0= no pain and 10= worst imaginable pain and responses were recorded in ESD. Mean 'worst pelvic pain' on bleeding/non-bleeding days was calculated as the sum of the participant's daily assessments of the ESD item 1 ("worst pain" during the last 24 hours) on bleedings/non-bleeding days during a study period divided by number of bleeding/non-bleeding days with pain assessment in that study period. This was summarized by study period. No inferential statistical analysis was performed.

    Measured: Screening period (up to a maximum of 75 days) + treatment period (up to a maximum of 168 days)

  2. Mean Number of Tablets of Rescue Pain Medication 1 (Ibuprofen 200 mg) Taken Daily for Endometriosis-associated Pelvic Pain (EAPP)

    Mean number of tablets of rescue pain medication 1 (Ibuprofen 200 mg) taken daily for EAPP was calculated as the sum of the tablets taken for EAPP during a study period divided by the number of days in that study period. This was summarized by study period. No inferential statistical analysis was performed.

    Measured: Screening period (up to a maximum of 75 days) + treatment period (up to a maximum of 168 days)

  3. Mean Number of Tablets of Rescue Pain Medication 2 (Tramadol 50 mg) Taken Daily for Endometriosis-associated Pelvic Pain (EAPP)

    Mean number of tablets of rescue pain medication 2 (Tramadol 50 mg) taken daily for EAPP was calculated as the sum of the tablets taken for EAPP during a study period divided by the number of days in that study period. This was summarized by study period. No inferential statistical analysis was performed.

    Measured: Screening period (up to a maximum of 75 days) + treatment period (up to a maximum of 168 days)

  4. The Number of Participants With Treatment Emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs)

    An adverse event (AE) is any untoward medical occurrence (i.e. any unfavorable and unintended sign [including abnormal laboratory findings], symptom or disease) in a patient or clinical investigation subject after providing written informed consent for participation in the study. TEAE is defined as AE that is observed or reported after the first administration of study drug or if it starts before the first administration of study drug and the intensity/grade worsens on treatment) in this study.

    Measured: Up to 6 months

  5. Number of Participants With Clinical Significant Abnormal Endometrial Histology Findings

    Number of participants with endometrial histology findings, e.g. hyperplasia, malignant neoplasm or endometrial polyps

    Measured: Up to 6 months

  6. Number of Participants With Clinical Significant Abnormal Ultrasound Examinations

    Ultrasound examinations (evaluated for efficacy and safety) will be performed by a qualified expert in performing gynecologic ultrasound exams. If possible, the same examiner should conduct all examinations of a subject throughout the study and the same ultrasound machine (per site) should be used throughout the study. Preferably the safety evaluation should be performed by transvaginal ultrasound (TVU). However, if deemed appropriate, transabdominal or transrectal ultrasound examinations can be performed instead. The chosen method should be used consistently throughout the study.

    Measured: Up to 6 months

  7. Number of Participants With Clinical Significant Abnormal Bone Mineral Density Measurements

    A Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) scan of the lumbar spine (lumbar anterior-posterior, L1-L4) and the hip/femoral neck were performed.

    Measured: Up to 6 months

  8. Number of Participants With Clinical Significant Abnormal Laboratory Values

    Clinical laboratory values including the values of hematology, general chemistry, urinalysis, coagulation, hormones, immunology and vitamins.

    Measured: Up to 6 months
