- Efficacy endpoints [ Time Frame: From baseline to end of PGL4001 treatment (3months treatment) and to approximately 2 weeks after double blind treatment with progestin/placebo. ]Investigate efficacy of PGL4001 on uterine bleeding (% of subjects in amenorrhea at end of PGL4001 treatment), myoma size (transvaginal ultrasound), pain (short Mc Gill questionnaire) and quality of life (specific UFS-QoL questionnaire and general EQ-5D questionnaire).
- Number and proportion of subjects experiencing open label treatment-emergent adverse events [ Time Frame: From baseline to end of PGL4001 treatment (3months treatment) ]
