Elagolix Versus Subcutaneous Depot Medroxyprogesterone Acetate for the Treatment of Endometriosis

Bone mineral density (BMD) was measured by dual X-ray absorptiometry (DXA). The percent change from baseline in spine and femur BMD at week 24 was assessed using a one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) model. The absence of significant bone loss was supported if the lower bounds of the confidence intervals for the mean percent change in BMD were ≥ -2.2% for both the spine and femur at week 24.

Time frame: Baseline and week 24

Population: Participants who received at least one dose (i.e., one tablet or injection) of study drug (safety analysis set) with available BMD data at both time points

The CPSSS consists of 5 components that address dysmenorrhea, dyspareunia, non-menstrual pelvic pain, pelvic tenderness, and pelvic induration. Each component was scored on a scale of 0 to 3 (0 = absent, 1 = mild, 2 = moderate, and 3 = severe). The dysmenorrhea score was based on the participant's response to the question Have you had painful menstruation during the last 28 days?. Change from baseline was analyzed using a mixed-effects repeated measures (MERM) analysis of covariance model which included fixed effects for treatment, time, treatment-by-time interaction, a random effect for patient, and terms for baseline value and the baseline-by-time interaction.

Time frame: Baseline and weeks 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, and 24

Population: All randomized participants who received at least one oral dose of study drug, an initial subcutaneous injection, and either reported at least 7 e-diary VAS values or provided an assessment of either dysmenorrhea or non-menstrual pelvic pain at week 4 or later during the treatment phase (intent-to-treat) with available data at each time point.

The EHP-5 is an instrument to measure health-related quality of life in women with endometriosis. The EHP-5 consists of two parts: * A core questionnaire consisting of five questions that measure the areas of pain, control and powerlessness, emotional well-being, social support, and self-image * A supplemental questionnaire consisting of six additional questions, five of which were recorded in this study: work, relationship with children, sexual intercourse, feelings about the medical profession and treatment. Each question was scored on a five point scale (Never = 0, Rarely = 25, Sometimes = 50, Often = 75, Always = 100), where 0 indicates the best health status and 100 worst health status. A negative change from baseline score indicates improvement in quality of life.

The VAS for pelvic pain was used as an assessment of pain intensity. The VAS was a horizontal line on which the left extreme was labeled no pain and the right extreme was labeled worst pain ever felt scored on a scale from of 0 (no pain) to 100 (worst pain ever felt). Participants indicated the worst level of pain felt over a 24-hour period by ''ticking'' the horizontal line on their e-Diary at approximately the same time each day. Monthly mean VAS for pelvic pain defined as the average of all VAS pain scores reported for an individual participant from the previous visit to the day of the current scheduled visit. Change from baseline was analyzed using a mixed-effects repeated measures (MERM) analysis of covariance model which included fixed effects for treatment, time, treatment-by-time interaction, a random effect for patient, and terms for baseline value and the baseline-by-time interaction.
