Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates are premenopausal women aged 18 to 50 with diagnosed uterine fibroids or endometriosis and associated symptoms.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients who are not premenopausal or those with conditions that contraindicate the use of the relugolix combination tablet may not benefit from this study.

What this trial studies
This clinical trial aims to assess the impact of a relugolix combination tablet on bone mineral density over a continuous treatment period of 48 months in premenopausal women suffering from heavy menstrual bleeding due to uterine fibroids or moderate to severe pain from endometriosis. The study will involve approximately 1000 participants, with bone density monitored every six months using dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry. Following the treatment phase, there will be a one-year post-treatment follow-up to evaluate any changes in bone mineral density. The study is designed to provide insights into the long-term effects of this medication on bone health in affected women.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this study could help improve the management of bone health in women undergoing treatment for uterine fibroids or endometriosis.
How similar studies have gone: Other studies have explored the effects of hormonal treatments on bone density, suggesting that this approach may yield valuable insights, although this specific combination and duration is less commonly tested.

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
