Ulipristal acetate for Japanese women with symptomatic uterine fibroids: A double-blind, randomized, phase II dose-finding study.


ABSTRACT: Purpose:A multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial was conducted to evaluate the efficacy, safety, and appropriate dose of ulipristal acetate (UPA) in Japanese women with symptomatic uterine fibroids (UFs). Methods:A total of 121 premenopausal women with UFs were enrolled to receive either placebo, UPA-2.5 mg, UPA-5 mg, UPA-10 mg, or leuprorelin acetate (LEU), a reference drug, for 12 weeks. The primary end point was the rate of patients having achieved amenorrhea for 35 days at Week 12. Results:The rates for amenorrhea were 4.5%, 60.0%, 72.7%, 88.0%, and 76.2% in the placebo, UPA-2.5 mg, UPA-5 mg, UPA-10 mg, and LEU groups, respectively. The median times to amenorrhea were 20.0, 5.0, 5.0, and 23.0 days for treatment with UPA-2.5 mg, UPA-5 mg, UPA-10 mg, and LEU, respectively. A significant dose-response of UPA for the rate of amenorrhea was observed. The overall incidence rates of adverse events were 45.8% in the placebo group, 56.5%-80.0% in the UPA groups, and 100.0% in the LEU group. There were no notable safety issues with UPA. Conclusions:Ulipristal acetate was effective and well tolerated in Japanese women with UFs. The recommended dose of UPA is considered to be 10 mg.
