ListOutcomeTime frameDescription
PrimaryNumber of Participants With Intracyclic Bleeding at Cycle 6Up to Cycle 6 (168 days) with 28 days per cycleIntracyclic bleedings were defined as bleedings while a participant takes active tablets.
SecondaryNumber of Participants With a Change in Total Dysmenorrhea Score From Baseline to Cycle 6From baseline up to Cycle 6 (168 days) with 28 days per cycle
Total dysmenorrheal score was defined as sum of 2 sub-scores: severity of dysmenorrhea (none: 0, mild: 1, moderate: 2, severe: 3) and use of analgesics (none: 0, mild: 1, moderate: 2, severe: 3). Note: used with permission of Nobelpharma Co., Ltd. from the phase 3 clinical study protocol of IKH-01 in dysmenorrhea (associated with endometriosis) (Nobelpharma Co., Ltd.). Changed total dysmenorrheal scores: -6 to -1 mean improvement, 1 to 6 mean worsening, 0 means no change.
SecondaryNumber of Participants With a Change in Total Dysmenorrhea Score From Baseline to Cycle 13From baseline up to Cycle 13 (364 days) with 28 days per cycle
Total dysmenorrheal score was defined as sum of 2 sub-scores: severity of dysmenorrhea (none: 0, mild: 1, moderate: 2, severe: 3) and use of analgesics (none: 0, mild: 1, moderate: 2, severe: 3). Note: used with permission of Nobelpharma Co., Ltd. from the phase 3 clinical study protocol of IKH-01 in dysmenorrhea (associated with endometriosis) (Nobelpharma Co., Ltd.). Changed total dysmenorrheal scores: -6 to -1 mean improvement, 1 to 6 mean worsening, 0 means no change.
SecondaryDistribution of Total Dysmenorrhea Score at Cycle 6Up to Cycle 6 (168 days) with 28 days per cycleTotal dysmenorrhea score was defined as sum of 2 sub-scores: severity of dysmenorrhea and use of analgesics. Higher score means it is more severe. 0=None, 6=Severest.
SecondaryDistribution of Total Dysmenorrhea Score at Cycle 13Up to Cycle 13 (364 days) with 28 days per cycleTotal dysmenorrhea score was defined as sum of 2 sub-scores: severity of dysmenorrhea and use of analgesics. Higher score means it is more severe. 0=None, 6=Severest.
SecondaryDistribution of Severity of Lower Abdominal Pain During Menstruation at Cycle 6Up to Cycle 6 (168 days) with 28 days per cycle
Severity of lower abdominal pain during menstruation was rated as none (none), mild (can be easily tolerated), moderate (noticeable, but does not interfere with daily activities), or severe (interferes with daily activities).
SecondaryDistribution of Severity of Lower Abdominal Pain During Menstruation at Cycle 13Up to Cycle 13 (364 days) with 28 days per cycle
Severity of lower abdominal pain during menstruation was rated as none (none), mild (can be easily tolerated), moderate (noticeable, but does not interfere with daily activities), or severe (interferes with daily activities).
SecondaryDistribution of Severity of Lumbago During Menstruation at Cycle 6Up to Cycle 6 (168 days) with 28 days per cycle
Severity of lumbago during menstruation was rated as none (none), mild (can be easily tolerated), moderate (noticeable, but does not interfere with daily activities), or severe (interferes with daily activities).
SecondaryDistribution of Severity of Lumbago During Menstruation at Cycle 13Up to Cycle 13 (364 days) with 28 days per cycle
Severity of lumbago during menstruation was rated as none (none), mild (can be easily tolerated), moderate (noticeable, but does not interfere with daily activities), or severe (interferes with daily activities).
SecondaryDistribution of Severity of Headache During Menstruation at Cycle 6Up to Cycle 6 (168 days) with 28 days per cycle
Severity of headache during menstruation was rated as none (none), mild (can be easily tolerated), moderate (noticeable, but does not interfere with daily activities), or severe (interferes with daily activities).
