6.1 Clinical Trials Experience Because clinical trials are conducted under widely varying conditions, adverse reaction rates observed in the clinical trials of a drug cannot be directly compared to rates in the clinical trials of another drug and may not reflect the rates observed in clinical practice.
Heavy Menstrual Bleeding Associated with Uterine Leiomyomas The safety of MYFEMBREE was evaluated in two placebo-controlled clinical trials, Study L1 (LIBERTY 1) and Study L2 (LIBERTY 2), in women with heavy menstrual bleeding associated with uterine fibroids.
In these trials, women received a once daily relugolix 40-mg tablet and an over-encapsulated tablet of E2 1 mg and NETA 0.5 mg (relugolix + E2/NETA), which is equivalent to 1 tablet of MYFEMBREE.
Across the two trials, 254 women received MYFEMBREE once daily for 24 weeks.
Additionally, 256 women received placebo for 24 weeks, and 258 women received relugolix 40-mg monotherapy once daily for 12 weeks followed by MYFEMBREE for 12 weeks [see Clinical Studies ( 14.1 )] .
Of these, 476 women were treated with MYFEMBREE in a 28-week extension trial, Study L3 (LIBERTY Extension), for a total treatment duration of up to 12 months.
5 WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS Thromboembolic Disorders and Vascular Events : Discontinue MYFEMBREE if an arterial or venous thrombotic, cardiovascular, or cerebrovascular event occurs.
Discontinue MYFEMBREE if there is sudden unexplained partial or complete loss of vision, proptosis, diplopia, papilledema, or retinal vascular lesions and evaluate for retinal vein thrombosis immediately.
( 5.1 ) Bone Loss : Decreases in bone mineral density (BMD) may not be completely reversible.
Baseline BMD assessment is recommended in all women.
In women with heavy menstrual bleeding associated with uterine fibroids, periodic BMD assessments are recommended.
Like all medications, Myfembree can cause side effects. However, not everyone who takes this medication will experience them. Many side effects are dose-dependent and may improve as your body adjusts to the medication. Others may require dose adjustment or medical attention.
