ListOutcomeTime frameDescription
PrimaryPercentage of Participants With Total PBAC Score of <10 From Week 6 to 12Week 6 to 12
PBAC score was used to measure volume of menstrual blood loss. Participants used sanitary products designated by sponsor and recorded the numbers of tampons or towels used, clots and flooding in patient diary. Three diagrams used which represented a lightly, moderately stained or completely saturated pad/tampon. Following scores assigned: 1) 1, 5, or 20 points for each pad; 2) 1, 5, or 10 points for each tampon; 3) 1 or 5 points for each blood clot of \<1 cm/=1 cm/\>1 in longest diameter; 4) 5 points for each episode of flooding. The total PBAC score (sum of points) ranges from 0 to \>500.
SecondaryPercentage of Participants With Total PBAC Score of <10 From Week 2 to 6Week 2 to 6

The total PBAC score (sum of points) ranges from 0 to \>500.
SecondaryPercentage of Participants With Total PBAC Score of <10 From Week 18 to 24Week 18 to 24
PBAC score was used to measure volume of menstrual blood loss. Participants used sanitary products designated by sponsor and recorded the numbers of tampons or towels used, clots and flooding in patient diary. Three diagrams used which represented a lightly, moderately stained or completely saturated pad/tampon. Following scores assigned: 1) 1, 5, or 20 points for each pad; 2) 1, 5, or 10 points for each tampon; 3) 1 or 5 points for each blood clot of \<1 cm/=1 cm/\>1 in longest diameter; 4) 5 points for each episode of flooding. The total PBAC score (sum of points) ranges from 0 to \>500.
SecondaryPercentage of Participants With Total PBAC Score of <10 for 6 Weeks Before the Final Dose of Study DrugFor 6 weeks before the final dose of study drug (up to Week 24)
PBAC score was used to measure volume of menstrual blood loss. Participants used sanitary products designated by sponsor and recorded the numbers of tampons or towels used, clots and flooding in patient diary. Three diagrams used which represented a lightly, moderately stained or completely saturated pad/tampon. Following scores assigned: 1) 1, 5, or 20 points for each pad; 2) 1, 5, or 10 points for each tampon; 3) 1 or 5 points for each blood clot of \<1 cm/=1 cm/\>1 in longest diameter; 4) 5 points for each episode of flooding.

SecondaryPercent Change From Baseline in Myoma Volumes at Weeks 2, 4, 8, 12 and 24Baseline, Weeks 2, 4, 8, 12 and 24
A transvaginal ultrasound was performed to determine myoma volumes. Only the largest myoma among those measurable at visit 1 was measured throughout the study. On the assumption that the myoma was spheroids, the myoma volumes were calculated using 3 diameters (D1, D2, and D3). D1: the longest diameter of the myoma; D2: the longest diameter of the myoma which was perpendicular to D1; D3: the diameter of the myoma which crossed the intersection of D1 and D2 (intersection "Z") and was perpendicular to D1/D2 plane. The formula used for calculation is Myoma volume= D1\*D2\*D3\*π/6.
SecondaryPercent Change From Baseline in Uterine Volumes at Weeks 2, 4, 8, 12 and 24Baseline, Weeks 2, 4, 8, 12 and 24
A transvaginal ultrasound was performed for determination of uterine volumes. On the assumption that the uterus was spheroids, the uterine volumes were calculated using 3 diameters (D1, D2, and D3) measured as shown below: D1: the longest diameter of the uterus (unit of length: cm); D2: the longest diameter of the uterus which was perpendicular to D1 (unit of length: cm); D3: the diameter of the uterus which crossed the intersection of D1 and D2 (intersection "Z") and was perpendicular to D1/D2 plane (unit of length: cm). The formula used for calculation is Uterine volume=D1\*D2\*D3\*π/6.
SecondaryChange From Baseline in Hemoglobin at Weeks 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24 and Follow upBaseline, Weeks 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24 and Follow up (up to Week 28)Anemia-related measurements consisted of hemoglobin, which were determined at the central laboratory.
SecondaryNumerical Rating Scale (NRS) ScoreFrom Week 6 to 12, from Week 2 to 6, from Week 18 to 24, and for 6 weeks before the final dose (up to Week 24)Pain symptoms were evaluated using the NRS score. NRS score is a self-reported instrument assessing pain from 0 to 10. Higher scores reflect greater level of pain.
SecondaryChange From Baseline in Uterine Fibroid Symptom and Quality of Life (UFS-QOL)- Symptom Severity Score at Weeks 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24 and Follow-upBaseline, Weeks 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24 and Follow-up (up to Week 28)
UFS-QOL was a 37-item self-reporting tool for evaluating QOL in participants with uterine fibroid. It includes eight symptom-related questions and 29 HRQL questions across six subscales (concern, activities, energy/mood, control, self-consciousness, sexual function). The total symptom severity score is ranging from 0 to 100. The higher scores indicate greater severity.
SecondaryChange From Baseline in Uterine Fibroid Symptom and Quality of Life (UFS-QOL)- HRQL Total Scores at Weeks 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24 and Follow-upBaseline, Weeks 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24 and Follow-up (up to Week 28)
UFS-QOL was a 37-item self-reporting tool for evaluating QOL in participants with uterine fibroid. It includes eight symptom-related questions and 29 HRQL questions across six subscales (concern, activities, energy/mood, control, self-consciousness, sexual function). The total HRQL score is ranging from 0 to 100. The higher scores indicate better QOL.
