Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Percentage of Participants Meeting the Criteria for Responder

    Percentage of responders, defined as participants who met the following conditions: * Menstrual blood loss (MBL) volume \< 80 mL during the Final Month (the last 28 days prior to and including the Reference Day, which is defined as the last visit date during the Treatment Period (last treatment visit date) or the last dose date if there are evaluable alkaline hematin data after the last treatment visit date and prior to or on the last dose date), and * ≥ 50% reduction in MBL volume from Baseline to the Final Month. Participants who prematurely discontinued study drug due to "lack of efficacy," "requires surgery or invasive intervention for treatment of uterine fibroids," or "adverse events" were considered non-responders regardless of whether she meets the two aforementioned responder criteria or not.

    Final Month (the last 28 days prior to and including the Reference Day), up to Month 6

Secondary Outcomes (6)

  • Change From Baseline in MBL Volume to the Final Month

    Baseline and Final Month (the last 28 days prior to and including the Reference Day), up to Month 6

  • Percentage of Participants With Suppression of Bleeding at the Final Month

    Final Month (the last 28 days prior to and including the Reference Day), up to Month 6

  • Change From Baseline in MBL Volume to Month 6

    Month 0 (Baseline), Month 6

  • Change From Baseline in MBL Volume to Month 3

    Month 0 (Baseline), Month 3

  • Percentage of Participants With Baseline Hemoglobin <= 10.5 g/dL Who Have an Increase in Hemoglobin > 2 g/dL at Month 6

    Month 0 (Baseline), Month 6
