Brief summary

The primary objective of this extension study is to assess the maintenance of efficacy of linzagolix administered orally once daily for up to an additional 6 months (for up to 12 months of treatment in total) in women who have already completed 6 months of linzagolix treatment at a dose of 75 mg alone or of 200 mg in combination with ABT (E2 1 mg / NETA 0.5 mg), in the management of moderate to severe endometriosis-associated pain (EAP) in women with surgically confirmed endometriosis.

Detailed description

This is a prospective, randomized, double-blind study. Subjects who have completed the 6-month Treatment Period in 18-OBE2109-002 - Edelweiss 2 study (herein referred to as main study) will be invited to enter the present extension study. Month 6 visit of the main study is a decision point for Subjects to either end treatment and enter a post-treatment follow up (part of the main study), or to opt for a 6-month treatment extension. All subjects will receive once daily either linzagolix 75 mg alone (with ABT placebo) or 200 mg combined with ABT for 6 months. Subjects who received placebo during the main study will be randomized to either linzagolix 75 mg alone (with ABT placebo) or linzagolix 200 mg with ABT. Subjects who received active treatment during the main study will continue with the same treatment. Double-dummy design will be used in order to maintain the blinding of the study. After end of treatment in the extension study (6-month treatment period: from Month 6 to Month 12), subjects will enter a post-treatment Follow-Up Period of 6 months with no investigational medicinal product (IMP) or - for subjects willing to continue treatment - a second extension study will be proposed.

Recruitment details

Of the 85 subjects randomized in the Edelweiss 2 study, 37 completed the 6-month treatment. Of the 37 subjects, 30 subjects opted to participate in the current extension study (7 from Placebo, 13 from LGX 75 mg, and 10 from LGX 200 mg+ABT). At entry into the extension study, the 7 subjects in the placebo group were re-randomized to an active LGX group (PBO/LGX 75 mg: 3, PBO/LGX 200 mg+ABT: 4). Subjects receiving LGX during Edelweiss 2 study, continued treatment as randomized in the main study.

Pre-assignment details

Subjects who received placebo in the main study were randomized in a 1:1 ratio to either linzagolix 75 mg alone (with ABT-matching placebo) or linzagolix 200 mg with ABT, as per the main study randomization schedule.
