Overview

Ulipristal acetate (ulipristal) is a selective progesterone receptor modulator that has been marketed for daily use in Europe and Canada to reduce symptoms caused by uterine fibroids. It was authorized for surgical pre-treatment in 2012 after the conduct of the PEARL I and II randomized controlled trials.

Shrinkage of Fibroids - Size of Fibroids

The primary outcome, fibroid volume, was calculated by an ellipsoid formula (π/6xd1xd2xd3) using orthogonal three-dimensional measurements taken from pelvic MRI scan. Individual volumes were summed to assess total fibroid volume for each woman, which were log-transformed before analysis. Women with paired MRI results were included in this intent to treat analysis, even if they did not take all study medication. Fibroids were included if they were seen on both studies.The absolute change in cm3 between baseline and end of treatment was calculated and its log was used for statistics and reporting the results in the data table below.

Short Form-36 and Uterine Fibroid Symptom Quality of Life

The short form-36 (SF-36)and Uterine Fibroid Symptom Quality of Life (UFS-QOL) questionnaires were given before and at treatment end with scales of 0 - 100. SF-36 scales = mental and physical well-being. The UFS subscales are symptom severity, concern, activities, energy and mood, control, self-consciousness, sexual functioning compiled into an overall QOL score. Higher results indicate better QOL on all but symptom severity (higher = worse). The change in scores from baseline to end of treatment was calculated. (NCT00290251)

Participants recorded bleeding in a daily diary. Absence of bleeding was defined as no bleeding days (i.e. no entries for bleeding or heavy bleeding; however, spotting was allowed), starting from Day 11 through the end of the 12-week Treatment Period. (NCT02147197)
Timeframe: Day 11 through the end of the 12-week Treatment Period

Time to Absence of Bleeding on Treatment

Time to absence of bleeding was defined as the duration in days from first dose to the first day in the time interval in which absence of bleeding occurs and persists through the last dose on treatment. The persistence of absence of bleeding occurred for a minimum of 35 consecutive days counting backward from the last dose on treatment in the 12-week Treatment Period. (NCT02147197)
Timeframe: From first dose up to the end of the 12-week Treatment Period
