Primary Outcome Measures:
- Endometrial Hyperplasia Based on Histological Assessment of Endometrial Biopsies [ Time Frame: Week 52 ]The endometrial hyperplasia rate was calculated based on the number of patients with endometrial hyperplasia/endometrial carcinoma divided by the total number of subjects with interpretable biopsies at Week 52.
Secondary Outcome Measures:
- Transvaginal Ultrasound: Endometrial Thickness [ Time Frame: Week 0, week 52 ]Transvaginal ultrasounds were performed at Baseline (Week 0) and Week 52, or at the time of withdrawal in the case of a subject's premature discontinuation. Endometrial thickness, measured (double layer) in mm, were lesser than 4 mm for entry into the trial.
