Trial Outcomes & Findings for Study of the Safety and Contraceptive Efficacy of Relugolix Combination Therapy in Women With Uterine Fibroids or Endometriosis Who Are at Risk for Pregnancy (NCT NCT04756037)

NCT ID: NCT04756037

Last Updated: 2026-05-13

Results Overview

The At-Risk PI is defined as the number of on treatment pregnancies per 100 women-years of treatment. The At-Risk PI will be calculated on the basis of cycles considered at-risk of pregnancy, that is, consecutive 28-day periods without use of any other contraceptive methods and with affirmed occurrence of vaginal intercourse. On-treatment pregnancies are pregnancies with an estimated conception date between the first day of study intervention intake up to and including 7 days after the last intake of study medication.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: 13 consecutive 28-day treatment cycles

Population: Restricted Intent-to-treat Population is defined as the subset of patients included in the ITT population (defined as all patients who have completed the informed consent process, completed screening procedures, and have been allocated to treatment and receive at least one dose of study intervention.) who have at least one at-risk treatment cycle or who have a treatment cycle (at-risk or not) in which a pregnancy has occurred. Patients are aged between \>= 18 years to \<=50 years.

The At-Risk PI is defined as the number of on treatment pregnancies per 100 women-years of treatment. The At-Risk PI will be calculated on the basis of cycles considered at-risk of pregnancy, that is, consecutive 28-day periods without use of any other contraceptive methods and with affirmed occurrence of vaginal intercourse. On-treatment pregnancies are pregnancies with an estimated conception date between the first day of study intervention intake up to and including 7 days after the last intake of study medication.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: 13 consecutive 28-day treatment cycles

Population: The Modified Intent-to-Treat (mITT) population is defined as the subset of patients included in the ITT(all patients who have completed the ICF process, completed screening procedures, and have been allocated to treatment and receive at least one dose of study intervention) who have at least one treatment cycle without use of other contraceptive methods or patients with a treatment cycle (at-risk or not) in which a pregnancy has occurred. Patients are aged between \>= 18 years to \<=50 years.

The Modified At-Risk PI is based on the number of on-treatment pregnancies occurring during cycles without any other contraceptive methods, regardless of occurrence of vaginal intercourse. On-treatment pregnancies are pregnancies with an estimated conception date between the first day of study intervention intake up to and including 7 days after the last intake of study medication.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: 13 consecutive 28-day treatment cycles

Population: The ITT population is defined as all enrolled patients who receive at least one dose of study intervention. Patients are aged between \>= 18 years to \<=50 years.

The "typical use" contraceptive efficacy will be assessed using the Gross PI, based on the number of on-treatment pregnancies occurring during all cycles regardless of the use of other contraceptive methods, confirmed vaginal intercourse, or protocol compliance. On-treatment pregnancies are pregnancies with an estimated conception date between the first day of study intervention intake up to and including 7 days after the last intake of study medication.

Population: The Per Protocol (PP) population is defined as the subset of patients in the Restricted Intent-to-treat (rITT) population with at least one treatment cycle and without meeting prespecified important protocol deviations. Patients are aged between \>= 18 years to \<=50 years.

The "perfect use" contraceptive efficacy will be assessed using the Method Failure PI, based on the number of on-treatment pregnancies occurring during cycles that are at risk and without major protocol deviations. On-treatment pregnancies are pregnancies with an estimated conception date between the first day of study intervention intake up to and including 7 days after the last intake of study medication.

Population: Restricted Intent-to-treat Population is defined as the subset of patients included in the ITT population (defined as all patients who have completed the informed consent process, completed screening procedures, and have been allocated to treatment and receive at least one dose of study intervention.) who have at least one at-risk treatment cycle or who have a treatment cycle (at-risk or not) in which a pregnancy has occurred.

Cumulative 1-year pregnancy rate and the associated 95% CI will be estimated on each of the efficacy analysis populations by the Kaplan-Meier (KM) survival analysis.
