Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: The primary objective of the study is to evaluate the effect of two doses of UC1010 on premenstrual symptoms in women with PMDD in comparison to placebo. The effect of UC1010 given repeatedly to women with PMDD as subcutaneous injections during the luteal phase of three consecutive menstrual cycles will be compared with a corresponding placebo administration. Effect will be assessed by comparison of symptoms recorded daily by the patients using a validated rating scale also used for the diagnosis of PMDD. ;Secondary Objective: The secondary objective of the study is to evaluate safety and tolerability of repeated subcutaneous administration of UC1010;Primary end point(s): Primary analysis will be change from baseline in late luteal phase Total symptom score (LmaxSum21) determined as the average sum score of all 21 questions (Q) recorded during the worst 5 consecutive days during Day -6 to Day 1. The DRSP variables will be calculated as the difference between the average of two diagnostic cycles (D) and the average of the two last treatment cycles in the UC1010-treated (A), and in placebo-treated patients (P), i.e. Lmax (D-A vs. D-P). Only ovulatory cycles (confirmed by elevated progesterone levels) will be used for assessment of treatment effects. ;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: During treatment: -during the worst 5 consecutive days during Day -6 to Day 1 for each patient -during ovulatory cycles

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Secondary end point(s): The corresponding Lmax for the Impairment score, i.e. sum scores of Q22-24 (Lmax Impairment) will be calculated accordingly. The corresponding Lmax for the PMDD cardinal symptom score, i.e. sum Q1-8 (Lmax Sum1a4b) including depression, anxiety, lability and anger/irritability scores will be calculated accordingly. Symptom severity will be assessed using the CGI-S scale, and change in symptom severity from baseline to after completion of the three treatment cycles will be assessed using the CGI-I scale where subjects with a score of 1 (very much improved) or 2 (much improved) are defined as responders.;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: During treatment
