A Phase 3B Study to Evaluate Bone Mineral Density With Long-Term Use of Relugolix Combination Tablet in Women With Uterine Fibroids or Endometriosis
What this study is about
The purpose of this clinical trial to characterize changes in bone mineral density during continuous treatment with relugolix combination tablet for up to 48 months (4 years) and 1 year of post-treatment follow-up in premenopausal women with heavy menstrual bleeding associated with uterine leiomyomas (fibroids) or with moderate-to-severe pain associated with endometriosis.
View original scientific description
The purpose of this clinical trial to characterize changes in bone mineral density during continuous treatment with relugolix combination tablet for up to 48 months (4 years) and 1 year of post-treatment follow-up in premenopausal women with heavy menstrual bleeding associated with uterine leiomyomas (fibroids) or with moderate-to-severe pain associated with endometriosis.
Interventions
DRUG
Relugolix Combination Tablet
A fixed-dose combination tablet containing relugolix 40 mg, estradiol (E2) 1 mg, and norethindrone acetate (NETA) 0.5 mg.
Primary outcome measures
Percent change from baseline in BMD (bone mineral density) at Month 48 on-treatment at lumbar spine (L1-L4) in women with uterine fibroids.
Time frame: Baseline up to Month 48
Assessed by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) scan.

Who can participate
This study lists these criteria on ClinicalTrials.gov. A study coordinator reviews eligibility during screening — this page does not determine whether you qualify.
Inclusion criteria
- Is a premenopausal woman, 18 to 50 years of age (inclusive);
- A diagnosis of uterine fibroids confirmed by imaging or review of medical records and reports heavy menstrual bleeding negatively affecting quality of life. or
- A diagnosis of endometriosis that is associated with moderate to severe pain.;
- If at risk of pregnancy is willing to avoid pregnancy for 4 years (the duration of the treatment period) using nonhormonal methods of contraception.
- Has a negative serum pregnancy test at the screening visit and a negative urine pregnancy test at the allocation visit (or Month 12 if entering from MVT-601-050 \[NCT04756037; SERENE\]);
- In good physical and mental health based on medical, surgical, and gynecological history as well as physical, gynecological, and breast examinations, clinical laboratory test results, and vital sign measurements;
- Has a body mass index ≥ 18 kg/m\^2. Key
Exclusion criteria
- Has a weight or body habitus that exceeds the limit of the DXA scanner or has a condition that precludes an adequate DXA measurement at the lumbar spine or proximal femur
- Has a DXA result demonstrating the following criteria at any anatomic site (lumbar spine, total hip, femoral neck):
- For patients entering de novo a Z-score ≤ -1.5 or T-score ≤ -2.0 (if ≥ 40 years of age)
- For patients entering from MVT-601-050 (NCT04756037; SERENE) a 12-month on-treatment DXA demonstrating Z-score ≤ -2.0, T-score ≤ -2.5 (if ≥ 40 years of age), or BMD loss ≥ 8% compared with pre-treatment baseline;
- Screening 25-OH vitamin D level \< 12 ng/mL (patients with 25-OH vitamin D deficiency with levels ≥ 12 to \< 20 ng/mL are permitted if supplementing with vitamin D or if vitamin D supplementation is started in the screening period);
- Has a history of or currently has Cushing's Syndrome, Rheumatoid Arthritis, metabolic bone disease, uncorrected hyperparathyroidism, Paget's disease of the bone, collagen vascular disease, Marfan's syndrome, Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (if confirmed on genetic testing or meets definitive criteria for hypermobility type), chronic kidney disease (CKD) stage 3 or greater with glomerular filtration rate (GFR) \< 60 mL/min/m2 using Modification of Diet in Renal Disease (MDRD) method, hyperprolactinemia, known pituitary adenoma, hyperthyroidism, anorexia nervosa, bulimia (within the last year), abnormal bone mineral metabolism (eg, hypophosphatemia). Patients whose hyperparathyroidism or hyperthyroidism has been successfully treated or whose hyperprolactinemia has been successfully treated are allowed;
- History of low trauma (fragility) fracture.
- Past history of use or current use of medication used to treat bone loss other than calcium and vitamin D preparations;
- Prior use of depot-medroxyprogesterone acetate for a treatment period \> 2 years (if treatment occurred within the past 5 years) or prior use of GnRH agonist or antagonist for \> 12 months total (unless directly entering from MVT-601-050 \[NCT04756037; SERENE\]);
- Malabsorptive disease (including, but not limited to, inflammatory bowel disease and gastric bypass surgery);
- Current breast cancer, history of breast cancer or other hormone-sensitive malignancy, at increased risk for hormone-sensitive malignancy, or taking an aromatase inhibitor for breast cancer treatment or prevention
- History of organ transplantation or history of bone marrow
- BIRADS ≥ 3 Mammogram at entry (or within the past 6 months).
- Has a known human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection or at high risk of contracting HIV
- Has a current psychiatric disorder that would, in the investigator or medical monitor's opinion, impair the ability of the patient to participate in the study or would impair interpretation of their data.
- Is currently using a hormonal intrauterine device or contraceptive implant, hormonal contraceptive, or other prohibited medication and is unwilling to discontinue this hormonal contraception

Frequently asked questions
What is a clinical trial?
A clinical trial is a research study that tests new medical treatments, drugs, devices, or procedures to determine their safety and effectiveness. Trials are carefully designed and monitored to protect participants while advancing medical knowledge.
Is it safe to participate?
Clinical trials follow strict safety guidelines and ethical standards. Trials must be reviewed and approved, and participants are closely monitored by medical professionals throughout the study. You can withdraw at any time if you choose.
Will I be compensated?
Many clinical trials offer compensation for your time, travel expenses, and inconvenience. The specific compensation varies by study and will be discussed during the screening process. All study-related medical care is typically provided at no cost to participants.
Will I receive a placebo instead of treatment?
When effective treatment exists, participants typically receive either the standard treatment plus the study intervention, or the standard treatment plus placebo. You would not be denied effective care. Placebos are primarily used when no proven treatment is available, or in addition to standard care. Your trial consent form will clearly explain what treatments you may receive.
Can I leave a trial if I change my mind?
Absolutely. Participation in clinical trials is completely voluntary. You have the right to withdraw from the study at any time, for any reason, without penalty or loss of benefits to which you are otherwise entitled.
How long does a clinical trial last?
Trial duration varies widely depending on the study design and purpose. Some trials last just a few weeks, while others may continue for months or years. The study coordinator will provide specific timeline information during your screening call.
