To investigate the efficacy and safety of repeated 12-week courses of 5 or 10 mg daily of ulipristal acetate for intermittent treatment of symptomatic uterine fibroids.
Double-blind, randomized administration of two 12-week courses of ulipristal acetate.
Gynecology centers.
PATIENT(S): A total of 451 patients with symptomatic uterine fibroid(s) and heavy bleeding.
INTERVENTION(S): Two repeated 12-week treatment courses of daily 5 or 10 mg of ulipristal acetate.
MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE(S): Amenorrhea, controlled bleeding, fibroid volume, quality of life (QoL), pain.
RESULT(S): In the 5- and 10-mg treatment groups (62% and 73% of patients, respectively) achieved amenorrhea during both treatment courses. Proportions of patients achieving controlled bleeding during two treatment courses were >80%. Menstruation resumed after each treatment course and was diminished compared with baseline. After the second treatment course, median reductions from baseline in fibroid volume were 54% and 58% for the patients receiving 5 and 10 mg of ulipristal acetate, respectively. Pain and QoL improved in both groups. Ulipristal acetate was well tolerated with less than 5% of patients discontinuing treatment due to adverse events.
CONCLUSION(S): Repeated 12-week courses of daily oral ulipristal acetate (5 and 10 mg) effectively control bleeding and pain, reduce fibroid volume, and restore QoL in patients with symptomatic fibroids.

探讨每日服用5毫克或10毫克醋酸乌利司他,重复进行两个12周疗程用于间歇性治疗有症状子宫肌瘤的疗效和安全性。
醋酸乌利司他两个12周疗程的双盲随机给药。
妇科中心。
共有451例有症状子宫肌瘤且有大量出血的患者。
每日5毫克或10毫克醋酸乌利司他重复两个12周治疗疗程。
闭经、出血得到控制、肌瘤体积、生活质量(QoL)、疼痛。
在5毫克和10毫克治疗组中(分别占患者的62%和73%),两个治疗疗程期间均实现闭经。两个治疗疗程期间出血得到控制的患者比例均>80%。每个治疗疗程后月经恢复,且与基线相比月经量减少。第二个治疗疗程后,接受5毫克和10毫克醋酸乌利司他治疗的患者肌瘤体积较基线的中位数分别减少54%和58%。两组的疼痛和生活质量均有所改善。醋酸乌利司他耐受性良好,因不良事件停药的患者不到5%。
每日口服醋酸乌利司他(5毫克和10毫克)重复12周疗程可有效控制有症状子宫肌瘤患者的出血和疼痛,缩小肌瘤体积,并恢复生活质量。
