Study question To assess the long-term (52-week) efficacy and safety of relugolix combination therapy (Relugolix-CT) in the treatment of endometriosis-associated pain. Summary answer Relugolix-CT demonstrated a sustained improvement of endometriosis-associated pain and maintenance of bone mineral density (BMD) over the extension treatment period. It was well tolerated. What is known already Endometriosis is a chronic condition characterized by symptoms of menstrual and non-menstrual pain, and dyspareunia, which have a substantial impact on women’s lives. SPIRIT 1 and 2 were Phase 3, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled studies of once-daily Relugolix-CT (relugolix 40 mg, estradiol 1 mg, norethindrone acetate 0.5 mg) in premenopausal women (age 18–50 years) with surgically diagnosed endometriosis and moderate-to-severe dysmenorrhea and non-menstrual pelvic pain (NMPP) at baseline. These trials demonstrated a significant improvement of dysmenorrhea, NMPP and dyspareunia in women treated with Relugolix-CT, with a minimal decline in BMD vs placebo over 24 weeks. Study design, size, duration Women who completed the 24-week pivotal studies (SPIRIT 1 and 2 trials) were eligible to enroll in an open-label, single-arm, long-term safety and efficacy extension study for an additional 80 weeks. All women received once-daily oral Relugolix-CT. Analyses were done based on original randomization in pivotal studies: Relugolix-CT, delayed Relugolix-CT (relugolix 40 mg alone for 12 weeks, then Relugolix-CT for 12 weeks), or placebo. Here, 52-week efficacy and safety outcomes are presented. Participants/materials, setting, methods The primary endpoints were the proportion of dysmenorrhea and NMPP responders at Week 52, based on daily Numerical Rating Scale (NRS) scores (0=no pain, 10=worst pain imaginable). A responder was a woman who achieved a predefined, clinically meaningful reduction from baseline in NRS score with no increase in analgesic use. Secondary efficacy endpoints included change in Endometriosis Health Profil...
