BT-114143 injection for treating abnormal uterine bleeding.

Evaluation of Safety, Efficacy, and Pharmacokinetics of BT-114143 Injection in Patients With Abnormal Uterine Bleeding

What this trial studies

This is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multiple-dose escalation Phase Ib trial enrolling approximately 39 premenopausal women with abnormal uterine bleeding. Participants will receive low, medium, or high doses of BT-114143 injection or placebo and will be monitored for safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics. Efficacy signals will be explored by measuring menstrual blood loss (using the alkaline hemoglobin method), coagulation-related biomarkers, and patient-reported quality of life. The study will collect serial blood samples for drug levels and coagulation markers and follow participants through treatment and immediate post-treatment assessments.

Who should consider this trial

Good fit: Ideal candidates are premenopausal women aged 18–50 with regular cycles and documented heavy menstrual blood loss (>80 mL in two screening cycles or ≥160 mL in one cycle), BMI 18.5–28 kg/m², and a negative pregnancy test who can comply with study visits.

Not a fit: Patients with significant structural uterine disease (for example endometrial polyps >1.5 cm), endometrial malignancy or atypia, or those outside the age or BMI ranges are unlikely to benefit from enrollment.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, BT-114143 could reduce heavy menstrual bleeding and improve quality of life while demonstrating an acceptable safety profile.

How similar studies have performed: While established therapies for heavy menstrual bleeding (such as levonorgestrel IUDs and antifibrinolytics) exist, BT-114143 appears to be a novel agent with limited prior human data.

2. Patients with known or investigator-determined ovulatory dysfunctional abnormal uterine bleeding who require hormonal therapy;
3. Patients identified by investigators as having iatrogenic abnormal uterine bleeding;
4. Patients with abnormal uterine bleeding related to coagulation dysfunction, including but not limited to those with laboratory test results showing: platelet count ≤ 100×10⁹/L, or APTT prolonged by ≥ 10s beyond the upper limit of normal, or PT prolonged by ≥ 3s beyond the upper limit of normal;
5. Patients with bleeding caused by cervical or vaginal lesions;
6. Patients who have undergone major surgery within 6 months prior to screening;

For long-acting (3-month) gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonists or progesterone preparations, the last administration must be no later than 6 months prior to randomization;
9. Patients who have used danazol, desmopressin, tranexamic acid, aminocaproic acid, or traditional Chinese medicines for the treatment of menorrhagia within 3 months prior to randomization;
10. Patients who need to receive anticoagulants (e.g., warfarin, heparin, etc.) or antiplatelet therapies (e.g., clopidogrel, ticagrelor, etc.) during the study period;
11. Patients with intolerance or contraindications to BT-114143 Injection;
12. Patients who have participated in clinical trials of other investigational drugs, biological agents, or medical devices and received therapeutic interventions within 30 days prior to screening;
13. Patients with clinically severe diseases such as known disorders of the circulatory, endocrine, nervous, digestive, respiratory, urinary, hematological, immunological, psychiatric, or metabolic systems, as assessed by investigators as unsuitable for participation in the trial;
14. Patients with a known history of glaucoma or retinopathy, as assessed by investigators as unsuitable for participation in the trial;
15. Untreated or poorly controlled thyroid dysfunction, except for mild subclinical hypothyroidism (i.e., TSH \< 10 mIU/L with normal FT4 and TT4);
16. Patients with a known history of thrombotic diseases, including but not limited to pulmonary embolism, deep vein thrombosis, etc.;
17. Patients diagnosed with malignant tumors within the past 5 years, except for cured basal cell carcinoma of the skin;
18. Patients with cervical cytology results indicating a risk of cervical cancer within 1 year prior to the screening period and requiring treatment.
