About this study

Official title: A Phase 3 Multicenter, Randomized, Double-blind, Placebo-controlled, Clinical Study to Assess the Efficacy and Safety of Linzagolix in Subjects With Moderate to Severe Endometriosis-associated Pain.

The primary objective of this study is to demonstrate the efficacy and safety of linzagolix administered orally once daily for 3 months at a dose of 75 mg alone or of 200 mg in combination with add-back hormone replacement therapy (ABT: estradiol (E2) 1 mg / norethisterone acetate (NETA) 0.5 mg) versus placebo, in the management of moderate to severe endometriosis-associated pain (EAP).

Read the detailed description

This is a prospective, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study to demonstrate the efficacy and safety of linzagolix administered orally once daily at doses of 75 mg alone and 200 mg in combination with low dose ABT (E2 1 mg/NETA 0.5 mg) versus placebo in the management of moderate to severe EAP in 450 women.

Eligible subjects who have completed the 6-month treatment period may enter a separate extension study for 6 additional months of active treatment (no placebo control). Subjects who do not continue in the extension study will enter a 6 month treatment-free follow-up phase.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 5 inclusion and 7 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 2 Apr 2025. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 71 sites in United States, Poland, Ukraine, Bulgaria, Romania and 5 more countries. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 29 May 2024). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Reduction of Dysmenorrhea (DYS) at Month 3 - Proportion of Responders (time frame: Baseline to Month 3). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT03992846, which also lists 1 linked publication.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?
