Gender: Female
Health Condition(s) or Problem(s) studied
Endometriosis
Intervention(s)
Drug: BGS649
Drug: Placebo
Primary Outcome(s)
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.]
Secondary Outcome(s)
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)]
