Study type: Interventional

Study phase: Phase 4

Overall status: Recruiting

Study design:

Allocation: Randomized

Intervention model: Parallel Assignment

Primary purpose: Treatment

Masking: None (Open Label)

Intervention:

Intervention type: Drug
Intervention name: Myfembree Oral Product
Description: The study drug Myfembree will be taken orally with water, once daily, at approximately the same time, with or without food. Each tablet of Myfembree contains Relugolix 40mg, estradiol 1mg, and norethindrone acetate 0.5 mg.

Summary: In this project, the proposition is that the use of daily dosed Myfembree ( a combination of relugolix with estradiol and norethindrone acetate), FDA-approved medication to treat heavy menses fibroid-related symptoms, has the potential to delay the recurrence of fibroid symptoms, prolong the improved quality of life and delay the need for re-intervention after uterine sparing surgery versus the routine standard of care.

Criteria for eligibility:
Criteria:
Inclusion Criteria: - Inclusion Criteria (all inclusion criteria must have been met prior to randomization unless otherwise specified): 1. Has voluntarily signed and dated the informed consent form prior to initiation of any screening or study-specific procedures 2. Premenopausal female aged 18 years and older on the day of signing of the informed consent form 3. Has a diagnosis of uterine fibroids that is confirmed by a pelvic ultrasound (transvaginal and/or transabdominal) performed during the screening period. 4. Has at least one or more of the following symptoms: 1. Heavy menses defined as PBAC (Pictorial Bleeding Assessment Chart) score ≥ 120 2. Pelvic pain during menses measured on NRS (Numeric Pain Rating Scale) ≥ 4 at baseline 3. Moderately severe fibroid-related symptoms (a score ≥ 25 on the Uterine Fibroid UF quality of life symptoms severity subscale) 5. Has a negative urine pregnancy test at the Screening, Baseline and interval clinic visits 6. Agrees to not be pregnant for at least 12 months. Participant may use any form of non-hormonal contraception consistently during the screening period . These may include: Diaphragm, cervical cap, spermicides, male and female condoms, copper IUD ( intra uterine device) and sponge. Each one will be explained in detail for the participants. However, the patient is not required to use dual contraception if she: 1. Has a sexual partner(s) who was vasectomized at least 6 months prior to the screening period. 2. Had a bilateral tubal occlusion (including ligation and blockage methods such as Essure™), at least 4 months prior to the first screening visit (patients with Essure™ must have prior confirmation of tubal occlusion by hysterosalpingogram); 3. Is not sexually active with men; periodic sexual relationship(s) with men requires the use of dual non-hormonal contraception as noted above; or 4. Practices total abstinence from sexual intercourse as her preferred lifestyle; periodic abstinence is not acceptable. 7. Has an endometrial (aspiration) biopsy, if clinically indicated, performed during the screening period, with results showing no clinically significant endometrial pathology (hyperplasia, endometritis, or endometrial cancer). Exclusion Criteria: Participants who choose not to undergo randomization and instead opt for the parallel group, selecting the standard of care (SOC) arm, are exempted from meeting the exclusion criteria (4-5-6-7-8(C&D)-9-11-12) specified for the study drug. 1. Has transvaginal and/or transabdominal ultrasound during the screening period demonstrating pathology other than uterine fibroids that could be responsible for or contributing to the patient's heavy menstrual bleeding, such as uterine or cervical polyps > 2.0 cm, or any other clinically significant gynecological disorder determined by the investigator to require further evaluation and/or treatment. Note: Saline or gel contrast is not routinely required. Use of such contrast is required only when the endometrium cannot be evaluated or when there are ambiguous and potentially exclusionary findings on the transvaginal and/or transabdominal ultrasound (e.g., suspected intrauterine masses, equivocal endometrial findings, etc.) 2. Has unexplained vaginal bleeding outside of the patient's regular menstrual cycle 3. Has undergone ultrasound-guided laparoscopic radiofrequency ablation, or any other surgical procedure for fibroids, uterine artery embolization, magnetic resonance-guided focused ultrasound for fibroids, as well as endometrial ablation for abnormal uterine bleeding within 6 months prior to the Screening visit 4. Has a history of or currently has osteoporosis, or other metabolic bone disease, hyperparathyroidism, hyperprolactinemia, hyperthyroidism, anorexia nervosa, or low traumatic (from the standing position) or atraumatic fracture (toe, finger, skull, face, and ankle fractures are allowed). A history of successfully treated hyperparathyroidism, hyperprolactinemia, or hyperthyroidism is allowed if the patient's bone mineral density is within normal limits 5. Has a history of the use of bisphosphonates, calcitonin, calcitriol, ipriflavone, teriparatide, denosumab, or any medication other than calcium and vitamin D preparations to treat bone mineral density loss 6. Anticipated use of systemic glucocorticoids at an oral prednisone-equivalent dose of more than 5 mg every other day during the study. Note: topical, inhaled, intranasal, optic, ophthalmic, intraarticular, or intralesional subcutaneous are permitted without restriction 7.

These conditions include: i. deep vein thrombosis ii. pulmonary embolism iii. vascular disease (e.g., cerebrovascular disease, coronary artery disease, peripheral vascular disease) iv. inherited or acquired hypercoagulopathies, known protein C, protein S, or antithrombin deficiency, or other known thrombophilia disorders, including Factor V Leiden thrombogenic valvular or thrombogenic rhythm diseases of the heart (for example, subacute bacterial endocarditis with valvular disease, or atrial fibrillation) v. uncontrolled hypertension vi. headaches with focal neurological symptoms or migraine headaches with aura if over 35 years of age vii.
