Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: To show superiority of at least one dose of mifepristone 2.5 mg and mifepristone 5 mg relative to placebo for the treatment of endometriosis in reproductive-age women at 24 weeks in terms of the reduction of Endometriosis Associated Pelvic Pain (EAPP) as measured by Visual Analog Scale (VAS) and considering intake of rescue medication.;Secondary Objective: • Efficacy of mifepristone 2.5 mg & 5 mg during the 1st cycle and during the 2nd cycle in terms of the reduction of EAPP measured by VAS with the intake of rescue medication • Efficacy of mifepristone 2.5 mg & 5 mg vs. placebo during the 1st treatment cycle of the reduction of each type of pain (non-menstrual pelvic pain, dysmenorrhea and/or dyschezia and/or dyspareunia) • Percentage of responders based on the reduction in EAPP as measured by VAS with no intake of rescue medication • Effect of mifepristone 2.5 mg, 5 mg & placebo by the modified Biberoglu & Behrman pain scale, by the Patient Global Impression of Change scale and the Clinical Global Impressions scale, on “Quality of Life” assessed by the SF-36 Health Survey questionnaire, on fertility by the Hoogland score • Return to fertility after the treatment with mifepristone 2.5 mg & 5 mg for two cycles by the Hoogland score • Safety of mifepristone 2.5 mg & 5 mg during two treatment cycles and in comparison to placebo ;Primary end point(s): Co-Primary end points: - Pre-post absolute change between baseline and final value after 24 weeks double-blind treatment in EAPP - Final value at the end of 24 weeks of double-blind treatment in the amount of analgesic rescue medication (ibuprofen 400 mg tablets) ;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: - Pre-post absolute change between baseline and final value after 24 weeks double-blind treatment in EAPP - Final value at the end of 24 weeks of double-blind treatment in the amount of analgesic rescue medication (ibuprofen 400 mg tablets)

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Secondary end point(s): - Pre-post absolute change for every 4 weeks of treatment in EAPP as documented on a VAS (in mm) throughout the trial by the patient in her diary - Intake of analgesic rescue medication for each 4-week period throughout the trial (i.e., number of pills/day) as documented by patient in her diary - Pre-post absolute change of each pain type associated with endometriosis (non-menstrual pelvic pain, dysmenorrhea, dyschezia and dyspareunia) as documented on a VAS (in mm) at each visit - Proportion of patients responding to treatment based on change in VAS EAPP and intake of analgesic rescue medication after 12 and 24 weeks of double-blind treatment - Pre-post absolute change in the total symptom and sign severity score calculated from the modified Biberoglu and Behrman scale - Clinical Global Impressions (CGI) scale at Week 24 of the 1st treatment cycle and Week 24 of the 2nd and 3rd treatment cycle - Patient Global Impression of Change (PGIC) scale at Week 24 of the 1st treatment cycle and Week 24 of the 2nd and 3rd treatment cycle - Absolute change from baseline in Quality of Life domain scores as determined by SF-36 questionnaire at Week 24 of the 1st treatment cycle and Week 24 of the 2nd and 3rd treatment cycle - Percent of subjects who achieve amenorrhea at Weeks 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24 of the 1st treatment cycle and Weeks 8, 16, and 24 of the 2nd and 3rd treatment cycle and Follow-up visit ;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: - Pre-post change for every 4 weeks in EAPP - Intake of analgesic rescue medication for every 4 weeks - Pre-post change of each pain type associated with endometriosis at each visit - Proportion of patients responding to treatment based on change in VAS EAPP and intake of rescue medication after 12 and 24 weeks of double-blind treatment - Pre-post change in the total symptom and sign severity score by B &B scale - CGI & PGIC scale at Week 24 of the 1st cycle and Week 24 of the 2nd and 3rd cycle - Change from b
