About this study
Official title: A Phase III, Multicentre, Extension Study Investigating the Efficacy and Safety of Repeated Intermittent 3-month Courses of Open-label Administration of Ulipristal Acetate, in Subjects With Symptomatic Uterine Myomas and Heavy Uterine Bleeding
This is a phase III, multicentre, long-term open-label extension of the phase III study: Pearl IIIextension (PGL09-027). During Pearl III (PGL09-026) and subsequent Pearl III extension (PGL09-027), patients have been exposed to a total of 4 cycles of daily 3month open-label treatment with ulipristal acetate 10mg before entering the proposed study Pearl extension 2 (PGL11-024).
This proposed study consists of 4 further consecutive courses of 3 months (84 days) open label ulipristal acetate 10mg once daily treatment each separated by a drug free period.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.
Who may be eligible to take part?
The sponsor lists 2 inclusion and 4 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.
Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?
The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 8 Jan 2016. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
What does this phase mean?
Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.
Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.
Are results available for this study?
The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Myoma symptom control assessed with a Global Study Treatment Satisfaction Questionnaire (time frame: 9 months). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 8 Jan 2016; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 8 Nov 2026.
