OBJECTIVES

To evaluate the impact of elagolix, a novel oral gonadotropin-releasing hormone antagonist, on the health-related quality of life assessed by the EQ-5D-5L survey among patients with moderate-to-severe endometriosis-associated pain

METHODS

Premenopausal women with surgically-confirmed endometriosis and moderate-to-severe endometriosis-associated pain were randomized to placebo, elagolix 150mg once daily (QD) or elagolix 200mg twice daily (BID) in a 6-month, phase III placebo-controlled randomized trial. EQ-5D-5L was administered at baseline and months 1, 3 and 6 of treatment. Changes from baseline in EQ-5D-5L visual analog scale (VAS) and index scores (where “1” represents perfect health and “0” represents death) were compared between each elagolix dose and placebo using analysis of covariance while controlling for baseline scores

RESULTS

A total of 815 patients were randomized and dosed (n=360, 226 and 229 in placebo, elagolix 150mg QD and elagolix 200mg BID; respectively). Baseline mean VAS scores were not significantly different between treatment groups (66.79, 65.19 and 68.0 for placebo, elagolix 150mg QD and elagolix 200mg BID; respectively). Least square (LS) mean change from baseline at month 3 was significantly higher (i.e. better) for each elagolix dose compared to placebo (5.09, 9.65 and 12.3 for placebo, elagolix 150mg QD and elagolix 200mg BID respectively; each p<0.01). Similar results were observed at month 6 (each p<0.05). Mean index scores were similar at baseline (0.73, 0.72 and 0.75 for placebo, elagolix 150mg QD and elagolix 200mg BID; respectively). LS mean changes from baseline were higher (i.e. better) for each elagolix dose compared to placebo at month 3 (0.06, 0.09 and 0.1 for placebo, elagolix 150mg QD and elagolix 200mg BID respectively; each p<0.01) . Similarly, each elagolix dose had higher LS mean changes at month 6 (p<0.05 for elagolix 200mg BID only)

CONCLUSIONS

Both doses of elagolix significantly improved health-related quality of life measured by EQ-5D-5L among endometriosis patients
