A Phase 3 interventional study of PGL4001 and leuprorelin in Uterine Myomas, sponsored by PregLem SA. Completed at 46 sites in 9 countries. Open to female participants aged 18 Years to 50 Years. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2012-12-17.
Sponsored by PregLem SA · Phase 3, Interventional, and Treatment
This trial will assess the efficacy and safety of PGL4001 versus GnRH agonist, over a 3-month period for the pre-operative treatment of pre-menopausal women suffering from excessive uterine bleeding due to uterine myoma.
61 studies on the registry are indexed under Myoma; 10 are open to participants now.
This study's enrollment of 301 is above the median of 80 across 45 interventional studies indexed under Myoma.

Exclusion Criteria:
Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.
Able to become pregnant: from the first period until menopause, unless permanently unable to through surgery (removal of the womb, or of both ovaries or both fallopian tubes).
Criteria for people of childbearing potential usually ask for a negative pregnancy test and for contraception during the study and for a time after it.
Ways of preventing pregnancy. “Highly effective” methods fail less than 1% of the time a year when used correctly — for example an IUD or an implant.
Criteria usually say which methods count and how long to keep using them after the last dose, sometimes for male participants too. Some studies accept a partner’s vasectomy if it was confirmed successful and that person is the participant’s only sexual partner.
Weight in kilograms divided by height in metres squared. Example: 70 kg and 1.75 m gives 70 ÷ (1.75 × 1.75) ≈ 22.9.
What counts as overweight or obesity differs between countries (some use lower cut-offs), so go by the range the study states.
A drug or device being studied in a clinical trial.
It may be new, or already approved and being studied for another use, dose or form. Criteria often leave out people who took part in another study of one within a recent period, commonly 30 days or five half-lives.

Percentage of Subjects With Reduction of Uterine Bleeding at Week 13 Visit Defined as Pictorial Blood-loss Assessment Chart (PBAC) Score < 75 at End-of-treatment Visit (Week 13 Visit)
Uterine bleeding was assessed with the use of the PBAC, a validated self-reporting method to estimate menstrual blood loss. Patients recorded daily the number of tampons and towels used and the degree to which individual items were soiled with blood (plus small or large clots). Monthly scores range from 0 (amenorrhea) to more than 500, with higher numbers indicating more bleeding. A slightly stained tampon/towel scores 1, a partially stained tampon/towel scores 5, a completely saturated tampon scores 10 and a completely saturated towel scores 20. Small clots/flooding (2cm) score 1. Large clots/flooding (3cm) score 5. Menorrhagia is defined as a PBAC \> 100 during one menstrual period which approximates to a blood loss of \> 80 mL. A PBAC of 400 corresponds to a blood loss of around 300 mL or approximately 80 tampons/towels used. The week 13 PBAC score was calculated using the last 28 days of treatment.
Time frame: 3 months
Co-primary Safety Endpoint: Serum Estradiol Levels at End of Treatment Visit (Week 13 Visit) for PGL4001 Compared With GnRHagonist
Measured by log 10 (log pg/ml) transformed values for estradiol (E2) in blood samples
Time frame: Week 13 visit
Co-primary Safety Endpoint: % of Subjects Reporting Moderate or Severe Hot Flushes as Adverse Events Throughout the Treatment Period for PGL4001 Compared With GnRH-agonist
Difference in percentage of subjects reporting moderate or severe hot flushes: Frequency and severity of this adverse event(as spontaneously reported by patients or elicited by nonleading questions) were recorded on standard forms at every visit up to week 17.
Time frame: Up to week 17
Change in the Total Volume of the Three Largest Myomas From Baseline to Week 13
Assessment of PGL4001 capacity to decrease volume of the three largest myomas was performed at each center by means of ultrasonography at baseline and at week 13. The total volume of the three largest myomas assessed at screening and at end-of-treatment visit (Week 13) was analysed on a logarithm transformed scale (to base 10).
