ListOutcomeTime frameDescription
PrimaryPercent Change From Baseline in Bone Mineral Density of the Spine at Week 24Baseline and week 24
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.
PrimaryPercent Change From Baseline in Bone Mineral Density of the Femur at Week 24Baseline and week 24
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.
SecondaryPercent Change From Baseline in Bone Mineral Density of the Spine at Weeks 12 and 48Baseline and weeks 12 and 48Bone mineral density (BMD) was measured by dual X-ray absorptiometry (DXA). The percent change from baseline in BMD was assessed using a one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) model.
SecondaryPercent Change From Baseline in Bone Mineral Density of the Femur at Weeks 12 and 48Baseline and weeks 12 and 48Bone mineral density (BMD) was measured by dual X-ray absorptiometry (DXA). The percent change from baseline in BMD was assessed using a one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) model.
SecondaryChange From Baseline in N-telopeptide at Weeks 12, 24 and 48Baseline and weeks 12, 24 and 48
Blood samples to determine N-telopeptide concentrations were analyzed by a central laboratory using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Change from baseline in N-telopeptide was analyzed using a one-way ANOVA model.
SecondaryPercentage of Participants With a Response in the Dysmenorrhea Component of the Composite Pelvic Signs and Symptoms Score (CPSSS) at Week 24Baseline and week 24
The CPSSS consists of 5 components that address dysmenorrhea (pain during menstruation), dyspareunia (painful intercourse), non-menstrual pelvic pain, pelvic tenderness, and pelvic induration (hardening). 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?". Participants were classified as responders for dysmenorrhea if they reported a 1 point or greater reduction (improvement) from baseline.
SecondaryPercentage of Participants With a Response in the Non-menstrual Pelvic Pain Component of the CPSSS at Week 24Baseline and week 24
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 non-menstrual pelvic pain score was based on participant's response to the question "Have you had pelvic pain during the last 28 days?" Participants were classified as responders for non-menstrual pelvic pain if they reported a 1 point or greater reduction (improvement) from baseline.
SecondaryPercentage of Participants With a Response in the Dysmenorrhea Component of the CPSSS Over TimeBaseline and weeks 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24, 28, 36, and 48
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?". Participants were classified as responders for dysmenorrhea if they reported a 1 point or greater reduction (improvement) from baseline.
SecondaryPercentage of Participants With a Response in the Non-menstrual Pelvic Pain Component of the CPSSS Over TimeBaseline and weeks 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24, 28, 36, and 48
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 non-menstrual pelvic pain score was based on participant's response to the question "Have you had pelvic pain during the last 28 days?" Participants were classified as responders for non-menstrual pelvic pain if they reported a 1 point or greater reduction (improvement) from baseline.
SecondaryChange From Baseline in Total CPSSS During the Treatment PeriodBaseline and weeks 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, and 24
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). Dysmenorrhea, dyspareunia, and nonmenstrual pelvic pain scores are based on the participant's assessment, pelvic tenderness and induration were assessed by the investigator based on findings associated with a pelvic examination. The total CPSSS has a maximum possible value of 15 (total score range: 0 to 15, where a lower score indicates less signs and symptoms of endometriosis or better functioning). 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.
