- Number of Participants With Amenorrhea [ Time Frame: The last 28 days of treatment period 1 ]Amenorrhea was defined as menstrual blood loss (MBL) <2 mL during the last 28 days of treatment.
- Number of Participants With Heavy Menstrual Bleeding (HMB) Response [ Time Frame: The last 28 days of treatment period 1 and treatment period 2 ]HMB response was defined as MBL <80 mL during the last 28 days of treatment and >50% reduction from baseline.
- Time to Onset of Amenorrhea [ Time Frame: In treatment period 1 (12 weeks) and in treatment period 2 (12 weeks) ]Onset of amenorrhea was defined by the first day for which the MBL for all subsequent 28-day periods up to the end of a treatment period was < 2 mL (amenorrhea defined similar to primary endpoint).
- Time to Onset of Controlled Bleeding [ Time Frame: In treatment period 1 (12 weeks) and in treatment period 2 (12 weeks) ]Onset of controlled bleeding was defined by the first day for which the MBL for all subsequent 28-day periods up to the end of a treatment period was <80.00 mL.
- Number of Participants With Absence of Bleeding (Spotting Allowed) [ Time Frame: The last 28 days of treatment period 1 and treatment period 2 ]Absence of bleeding was defined as no scheduled or unscheduled bleeding (spotting allowed) during the last 28 days of a treatment period based on subjects' daily responses to the Uterine Fibroid Daily Bleeding Diary (UF-DBD).
- Endometrial Histology [ Time Frame: Up to 36 weeks ]Benign endometrium, presence or absence of hyperplasia or malignancy
- Endometrial Thickness [ Time Frame: Up to 36 weeks ]
