Further study details as provided by Novartis:

Primary Outcome Measures:
  • Measure: To evaluate the safety & tolerability of multiple dosing of BGS649 at two dose levels over 53 months in pre-menopausal women with moderate-severe endometriosis, as assessed by serial transvaginal ultrasonography & bone resorption biomarker [ Time Frame: 8 months. Evaluate safety and tolerability from baseline up to 3 months of treatment via transvaginal ultrasonography and up to 5 months from baseline to month 5 via bone resorption biomarker. ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]

Secondary Outcome Measures:
  • Measure: To evaluate the pharmacokinetic profile of BGS649 following multiple dosing at two dose levels over 3 months in pre-menopausal women with moderate to severe endometriosis. [ Time Frame: 8 months (Assess PK profile from first dosing through end of study and compare PK on Day 1 of first dose to that of third month) ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]

  • Aromatase inhibitor therapy (includes Femara (letrozole), Aromasin (exemestane) or Arimidex (anastrozole) within the past 12 months.
  • Oral bisphosphonate therapy (i.e. Fosamax (alendronate)) within the past 6 months or intravenous bisphosphonate (i.e., Reclast, pamidronate) < 15 months from screening.
