B(Standard of care)
Standard of care as determined by the investigators, this could be watch & wait or non-hormonal medical treatment
|
Other: Standard of care
Standard of care as determined by the investigators (including watch and wait, symptomatic nonhormonal) |
- Percentage Change in Bone Mineral Density (BMD) of Lumbar Spine [ Time Frame: From baseline to about 1 year after start of treatment ]The percentage change in BMD (measured by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) scan) of lumbar spine from baseline to about one year after start of treatment (SoT) in all randomized and treated participants with measurements at those 2 time points in each treatment group.
- Number of Bleeding Days [ Time Frame: Approximately 1 year ]Number of bleeding days were defined from Day 1 of the first treatment period until the day before a new treatment period would start again following the last treatment period for that respective treatment group. Number to be normalized by 28 days
- Endometrial Histology [ Time Frame: Approximately 1 year ]Number of participants with endometrial histology findings, e.g. benign endometrium, presence or absence of hyperplasia or malignancy
- Endometrial Thickness [ Time Frame: Treatment phase: appximately 1 year, follow-up phase: up to 2 years ]Ultrasound examinations were performed. Endometrial thickness was measured in the medio-sagittal section as double-layer in millimeters. Summary statistics for change from baseline in endometrial thickness was provided in below table.
- Percentage Change From Baseline in BMD Measured at Lumbar Spine (Other Time Points Not Mentioned as Primary Safety Variable) and Hip/Femoral Neck [ Time Frame: Up to 2 years ]Percentage change in BMD (measured by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) scan) of lumbar spine (other time points not mentioned as primary safety analysis), hip, and femoral neck from baseline was analyzed using the same statistical methods as used for the primary variable.
