Elagolix sodium has the following structural formula: Elagolix sodium is a white to off white to light yellow powder and is freely soluble in water. ORILISSA 150 mg tablets are light pink, oblong, film-coated tablets with “EL 150” debossed on one side. Each tablet contains 155.2 mg of elagolix sodium (equivalent to 150 mg of elagolix) as the active ingredient and the following inactive ingredients: mannitol, sodium carbonate monohydrate, pregelatinized starch, povidone, magnesium stearate, polyvinyl alcohol, titanium dioxide, polyethylene glycol, talc, and carmine high tint. ORILISSA 200 mg tablets are light orange, oblong, film-coated tablets with “EL 200” debossed on one side. Each tablet contains 207.0 mg of elagolix sodium (equivalent to 200 mg of elagolix) as the active ingredient and the following inactive ingredients: mannitol, sodium carbonate monohydrate, pregelatinized starch, povidone, magnesium stearate, polyvinyl alcohol, titanium dioxide, polyethylene glycol, talc, and iron oxide red. Elagolix sodium has the following structural formula
Indications
ORILISSA is indicated for the management of moderate to severe pain associated with endometriosis. Limitation s of Use:   Limit the duration of use based on the dose and coexisting condition (see Table 1 ) [see D osage and Administration ( 2.1 ) and Warnings and Precautions ( 5.1 ) ] . ORILISSA is a gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) receptor antagonist indicated for the management of moderate to severe pain associated with endometriosis. ( 1 )       Limitation s of Use:   Limit the duration of use based on the dose and coexisting condition (see Table 1 ). ( 1 )
Dosage
Normal liver function or mild hepatic impairment : 150 mg once daily for up to 24 months or 200 mg twice daily for up to 6 months. ( 2.1 ) Moderate hepatic impairment : 150 mg once daily for up to 6 months. ( 2.1 ) Exclude pregnancy before starting ORILISSA or start ORILISSA within 7 days from the onset of menses. Take ORILISSA at approximately the same time each day, with or without food. Use the lowest effective dose, taking into account the severity of symptoms and treatment objectives [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.1 , 5.3 , 5.4 ) and Clinical Studies ( 14 )] . Limit the duration of use because of bone loss ( Table 1 ) [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.1 )] . Table 1. Recommended Dosage and Duration of Use Dosing Regimen Maximum Treatment Duration Coexisting Condition Initiate treatment with ORILISSA 150 mg once daily 24 months None Consider initiating treatment with ORILISSA 200 mg twice daily 6 months Dyspareunia Initiate treatment with ORILISSA 150 mg once daily. Use of 200 mg twice daily is not recommended. 6 months Moderate hepatic impairment (Child-Pugh Class B) No dosage adjustment of ORILISSA is required in women with mild hepatic impairment (Child-Pugh A). Compared to women with normal liver function, those with moderate hepatic impairment had approximately 3-fold higher elagolix exposures and those with severe hepatic impairment had approximately 7-fold higher elagolix exposures. Because of these increased exposures and risk for bone loss: ORILISSA 150 mg once daily is recommended for women with moderate hepatic impairment (Child-Pugh B) with the duration of treatment limited to 6 months. Use of ORILISSA 200 mg twice daily is not recommended for women with moderate hepatic impairment [see Use in Specific Populations ( 8.7 ) and Clinical Pharmacology ( 12.3 )] . ORILISSA is contraindicated in women with severe hepatic impairment (Child-Pugh C) [see Contraindications ( 4 ), Use in Specific Populations ( 8.7 ) and Clinical Pharmacology ( 12.3 )] . Instruct the patient to take a missed dose of ORILISSA on the same day as soon as she remembers and then resume the regular dosing schedule. 150 mg once daily: take no more than 1 tablet each day. 200 mg twice daily: take no more than 2 tablets each day.
Dosage forms
The 150 mg tablets are light pink, oblong, film-coated tablets with “EL 150” debossed on one side. Each tablet contains 155.2 mg of elagolix sodium equivalent to 150 mg of elagolix. The 200 mg tablets are light orange, oblong, film-coated tablets with “EL 200” debossed on one side. Each tablet contains 207.0 mg of elagolix sodium equivalent to 200 mg of elagolix. Oral tablets: 150 mg and 200 mg ( 3 )
Contraindications
ORILISSA is contraindicated in women: ● Who are pregnant [see Use in Specific Populations ( 8.1 )] . Exposure to ORILISSA early in pregnancy may increase the risk of early pregnancy loss. ● With known osteoporosis because of the risk of further bone loss [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.1 )] ● With severe hepatic impairment [see Use in Specific Populations ( 8.7 ), Clinical Pharmacology ( 12.3 )] ● Taking inhibitors of organic anion transporting polypeptide (OATP)1B1 (a hepatic uptake transporter) that are known or expected to significantly increase elagolix plasma concentrations  [see Drug Interactions ( 7.2 )]   ● With known hypersensitivity reaction to ORILISSA or any of its inactive components. Reactions have included anaphylaxis and angioedema [see Adverse Reactions ( 6.2 )] . Pregnancy ( 4 ) Known osteoporosis ( 4 ) Severe hepatic impairment ( 4 ) Organic anion transporting polypeptide (OATP) 1B1 inhibitors that significantly increase elagolix plasma concentrations ( 4 ) Hypersensitivity reactions ( 4 , 6.2 )
Warnings
Bone Loss : Dose- and duration-dependent decreases in bone mineral density (BMD) that may not be completely reversible. Assess BMD in women with additional risk factors for bone loss ( 5.1 ) Reduced Ability to Recognize Pregnancy : ORILISSA may alter menstrual bleeding, which may reduce the ability to recognize pregnancy. Perform testing if pregnancy is suspected. Discontinue if pregnancy is confirmed ( 5.2 ) Suicidal Ideation and Mood Disorders : Advise patients to seek medical attention for suicidal ideation, suicidal behavior, new onset or worsening depression, anxiety, or other mood changes ( 5.3 ) Hepatic Transaminase Elevations : Dose-dependent elevations in serum alanine aminotransferase (ALT). Counsel patients on signs and symptoms of liver injury ( 5.4 ) Interactions with Hormonal Contraceptives : Use non-hormonal contraception during treatment and for 28 days after discontinuing ORILISSA. Coadministration of ORILISSA 200 mg twice daily with an estrogen-containing contraceptive is not recommended because of the potential for increased estrogen-associated risks. Coadministration of ORILISSA with an estrogen-containing contraceptive may reduce the efficacy of ORILISSA. Coadministration with progestin-containing oral contraceptives may reduce the efficacy of the contraceptive. ( 5.5 ) ORILISSA causes a dose-dependent decrease in bone mineral density (BMD). BMD loss is greater with increasing duration of use and may not be completely reversible after stopping treatment [see Adverse Reactions ( 6.1 )] . The impact of these BMD decreases on long-term bone health and future fracture risk are unknown. ORILISSA is contraindicated in women with known osteoporosis [see Contraindications ( 4 )].   Consider assessment of BMD in patients with a history of a low-trauma fracture or other risk factors for osteoporosis or bone loss. Limit the duration of use to reduce the extent of bone loss [see Dosage and Administration ( 2.2 )]. Although the effect of supplementation with calcium and vitamin D was not studied, such supplementation may be beneficial for all patients. Women who take ORILISSA may experience a reduction in the amount, intensity or duration of menstrual bleeding, which may reduce the ability to recognize the occurrence of a pregnancy in a timely manner [see Adverse Reactions ( 6.1 )] . Perform pregnancy testing if pregnancy is suspected, and discontinue ORILISSA if pregnancy is confirmed. Suicidal ideation and behavior, including one completed suicide, occurred in subjects treated with ORILISSA in the endometriosis clinical trials. ORILISSA subjects had a higher incidence of depression and mood changes compared to placebo, and ORILISSA subjects with a history of suicidality or depression had a higher incidence of depression compared to subjects without such a history [see Adverse Reactions ( 6.1 )] . Promptly evaluate patients with depressive symptoms to determine whether the risks of continued therapy outweigh the benefits [see Adverse Reactions ( 6.1 )] . Patients with new or worsening depression, anxiety or other mood changes should be referred to a mental health professional, as appropriate. Advise patients to seek immediate medical attention for suicidal ideation and behavior. Reevaluate the benefits and risks of continuing ORILISSA if such events occur. In clinical trials, dose-dependent elevations of serum alanine aminotransferase (ALT) at least 3-times the upper limit of the reference range occurred with ORILISSA. Use the lowest effective dose of ORILISSA and instruct patients to promptly seek medical attention in case of symptoms or signs that may reflect liver injury, such as jaundice. Promptly evaluate patients with elevations in liver tests to determine whether the benefits of continued therapy outweigh the risks [see Adverse Reactions ( 6.1 )] . Advise women to use effective non-hormonal contraceptives during treatment with ORILISSA and for 28 days after discontinuing ORILISSA [see Use in Specific Populations ( 8.1 , 8.3 ), Drug Interactions ( 7.1 ), Clinical Pharmacology ( 12.3 )] . Increase in Estrogen Exposure and Potential Associated Increased Risks When ORILISSA 200 mg Twice Daily is Taken With Combined Hormonal Contraceptives Co-administration of a combined oral contraceptive (COC) (containing 20 mcg ethinyl estradiol/0.1 mg levonorgestrel) following administration of ORILISSA 200 mg twice daily for 14 days increases the plasma ethinyl estradiol concentration by 2.2-fold compared to this COC alone. ORILISSA 200 mg twice daily co-administered with a COC containing ethinyl estradiol may lead to increased risk of ethinyl estradiol-related adverse events including thromboembolic disorders and vascular events and is not recommended [see Drug Interactions ( 7.1 ), Clinical Pharmacology ( 12.3 )] . Potential for Reduced Efficacy of Progestin -Containing Hormonal Contraceptives Co-administration of ORILISSA 200 mg twice daily and a COC containing 0.1 mg levonorgestrel decreases the plasma concentrations of levonorgestrel by 27%, potentially affecting contraceptive efficacy. Co-administration of ORILISSA with COCs containing norethindrone acetate did not show reduction in plasma concentrations of norethindrone  [see Drug Interactions ( 7.1 ), Clinical Pharmacology ( 12.3 )] . Co-administration of ORILISSA with progestin-containing intrauterine contraceptive systems has not been studied. Reduced efficacy of ORILISSA Based on the mechanism of action of ORILISSA, estrogen-containing contraceptives are expected to reduce the efficacy of ORILISSA. The effect of progestin-only contraceptives on the efficacy of ORILISSA is unknown.
Adverse reactions
The following serious adverse reactions are discussed elsewhere in labeling:
Drug interactions
See full prescribing information for a list of clinically important drug interactions ( 7 ). Elagolix is: A weak to moderate inducer of cytochrome P450 (CYP) 3A. Co-administration with ORILISSA may decrease plasma concentrations of drugs that are substrates of CYP3A (see Table 7). A weak inhibitor of CYP 2C19. Co-administration with ORILISSA may increase plasma concentrations of drugs that are substrates of CYP2C19 (see Table 7). An inhibitor of efflux transporter P-glycoprotein (P-gp). Co-administration with ORILISSA may increase plasma concentrations of drugs that are substrates of P-gp (see Table 7). The effects of co-administration of ORILISSA on concentrations of concomitant drugs and the clinical recommendations for these drug interactions are summarized in Table 7. Table 7. Drug Interactions: Effects of ORILISSA on Other Drugs Concomitant Drug Class: Drug Name Effect on Plasma Exposure of Concomitant Drug Clinical Recommendations Cardiac glycosides: digoxin ↑ digoxin Increase monitoring of digoxin concentrations and potential signs and symptoms of clinical toxicity when initiating ORILISSA in patients who are taking digoxin. If ORILISSA is discontinued, increase monitoring of digoxin concentrations. Benzodiazepines: oral midazolam ↓ midazolam Consider increasing the dose of midazolam by no more than 2-fold and individualize midazolam therapy based on the patient’s response. Statins: rosuvastatin ↓ rosuvastatin Monitor lipid levels and adjust the dose of rosuvastatin, if necessary. Proton pump inhibitors: omeprazole ↑ omeprazole No dose adjustment needed for omeprazole 40 mg once daily when co-administered with ORILISSA. When ORILISSA is used concomitantly with higher doses of omeprazole, consider dosage reduction of omeprazole. Combined hormonal contraceptives: oral ethinyl estradiol/levonorgestrel ↑ethinyl estradiol ↓levonorgestrel Advise women to use effective non-hormonal contraception during treatment with ORILISSA and for 28 days after discontinuing ORILISSA. See Tables 10 and 11   [ see   Clinical Pharmacology ( 12.3 )] . The direction of the arrow indicates the direction of the change in the area under the curve (AUC) (↑= increase, ↓ = decrease). Elagolix is a substrate of CYP3A, P-gp, and OATP1B1. Concomitant use of ORILISSA 200 mg twice daily and strong CYP3A inhibitors for more than 1 month is not recommended. Limit concomitant use of ORILISSA 150 mg once daily and strong CYP3A inhibitors to 6 months. Co-administration of ORILISSA with strong CYP3A inducers may decrease elagolix plasma concentrations and may result in a decrease of the therapeutic effects of ORILISSA. Concomitant use of ORILISSA 200 mg twice daily and rifampin is not recommended. Limit concomitant use of ORILISSA 150 mg once daily and rifampin to 6 months. The effect of concomitant use of P-gp inhibitors or inducers on the pharmacokinetics of ORILISSA is unknown. OATP1B1 inhibitors that are known or expected to significantly increase elagolix plasma concentrations are contraindicated due to increased risk of elagolix-associated adverse reactions [see Contraindications ( 4 )].
Use in_specific_populations
Pregnancy Exposure  Registry There is a pregnancy registry that monitors pregnancy outcomes in women exposed to ORILISSA during pregnancy. Healthcare providers are encouraged to register patients, or pregnant women may enroll themselves in the registry by calling 1-833-782-7241 or visiting https://www.bloompregnancyregistry.com. Risk Summary Use of ORILISSA is contraindicated in pregnant women. Exposure to ORILISSA early in pregnancy may increase the risk of early pregnancy loss. Discontinue ORILISSA if pregnancy occurs during treatment. The limited human data with the use of ORILISSA in pregnant women are insufficient to determine whether there is a risk for major birth defects or miscarriage. Although two cases of congenital malformations were reported in clinical trials with ORILISSA, no pattern was identified and miscarriages were reported at a similar incidence across treatment groups (see Data ) . When pregnant rats and rabbits were orally dosed with elagolix during the period of organogenesis, postimplantation loss was observed in pregnant rats at doses 20 times the maximum recommended human dose (MRHD). Spontaneous abortion and total litter loss was observed in rabbits at doses 7 and 12 times the MRHD. There were no structural abnormalities in the fetuses at exposures up to 40 and 12 times the MRHD for the rat and rabbit, respectively (see Data ) . Data Human Data There were 49 pregnancies reported in clinical trials of more than 3,500 women (of whom more than 2,000 had endometriosis) treated with ORILISSA for up to 12 months. These pregnancies occurred while the women were receiving ORILISSA or within 30 days after stopping ORILISSA. Among these 49 pregnancies, two major congenital malformations were reported. In one case of infant cleft palate, the mother was treated with ORILISSA 150 mg daily and the estimated fetal exposure to ORILISSA occurred during the first 30 days of pregnancy. In one case of infant tracheoesophageal fistula, the mother was treated with ORILISSA 150 mg daily and the estimated fetal exposure to ORILISSA occurred during the first 15 days of pregnancy. Among these 49 pregnancies, there were five cases of spontaneous abortion (miscarriage) compared to five cases among the 20 pregnancies that occurred in more than 1100 women treated with placebo. Although the duration of fetal exposure was limited in ORILISSA clinical trials, there were no apparent decreases in birth weights associated with ORILISSA in comparison to placebo. Animal Data Embryofetal development studies were conducted in the rat and rabbit. Elagolix was administered by oral gavage to pregnant rats (25 animals/dose) at doses of 0, 300, 600 and 1200 mg/kg/day and to rabbits (20 animals/dose) at doses of 0, 100, 150, and 200 mg/kg/day, during the period of organogenesis (gestation day 6-17 in the rat and gestation day 7-20 in the rabbit). In rats, maternal toxicity was present at all doses and included six deaths and decreases in body weight gain and food consumption. Increased postimplantation losses were present in the mid dose group, which was 20 times the MRHD based on AUC. In rabbits, three spontaneous abortions and a single total litter loss were observed at the highest, maternally toxic dose, which was 12 times the MRHD based on AUC. A single total litter loss occurred at a lower non-maternally toxic dose of 150 mg/kg/day, which was 7 times the MRHD. No fetal malformations were present at any dose level tested in either species even in the presence of maternal toxicity. At the highest doses tested, the exposure margins were 40 and 12 times the MRHD for the rat and rabbit, respectively. However, because elagolix binds poorly to the rat gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) receptor (~1000 fold less than to the human GnRH receptor), the rat study is unlikely to identify pharmacologically mediated effects of elagolix on embryofetal development. The rat study is still expected to provide information on potential non-target-related effects of elagolix. In a pre- and postnatal development study in rats, elagolix was given in the diet to achieve doses of 0, 100 and 300 mg/kg/day (25 per dose group) from gestation day 6 to lactation day 20. There was no evidence of maternal toxicity. At the highest dose, two dams had total litter loss, and one failed to deliver. Pup survival was decreased from birth to postnatal day 4. Pups had lower birth weights and lower body weight gains were observed throughout the pre-weaning period at 300 mg/kg/day. Smaller body size and effect on startle response were associated with lower pup weights at 300 mg/kg/day. Post-weaning growth, development and behavioral endpoints were unaffected. Maternal plasma concentrations in rats on lactation day 21 at 100 and 300 mg/kg/day (47 and 125 ng/mL) were 0.06-fold and 0.16-fold the maximal elagolix concentration (C max ) in humans at the MRHD. Because the exposures achieved in rats were much lower than the human MRHD, this study is not predictive of potentially higher lactational exposure in humans. Risk Summary   There is no information on the presence of elagolix or its metabolites in human milk, the effects on the breastfed child, or the effects on milk production. There are no adequate animal data on the excretion of ORILISSA in milk. The developmental and health benefits of breastfeeding should be considered along with the mother’s clinical need for ORILISSA and any potential adverse effects on the breastfed child from ORILISSA. Data There are no adequate animal data on excretion of elagolix in milk. Based on the mechanism of action, there is a risk of early pregnancy loss if ORILISSA is administered to a pregnant woman [see Use in Specific Populations ( 8.1 ), Clinical Pharmacology ( 12.1 )] . Pregnancy Testing ORILISSA may delay the ability to recognize the occurrence of a pregnancy because it may reduce the intensity, duration, and amount of menstrual bleeding. Exclude pregnancy before initiating treatment with ORILISSA. Perform pregnancy testing if pregnancy is suspected during treatment with ORILISSA and discontinue treatment if pregnancy is confirmed  [see Contraindications ( 4 ) and Warnings and Precautions ( 5.2 )] . Contraception Advise women to use effective non-hormonal contraception during treatment with ORILISSA and for 28 days after discontinuing ORILISSA  [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.5 )] . Safety and effectiveness of ORILISSA in pediatric patients have not been established. No dose adjustment of ORILISSA is required in women with any degree of renal impairment or end-stage renal disease (including women on dialysis) [see Clinical Pharmacology ( 12.3 )] . No dosage adjustment of ORILISSA is required for women with mild hepatic impairment (Child-Pugh A). Only the 150 mg once daily regimen is recommended for women with moderate hepatic impairment (Child-Pugh B) and the duration of treatment should be limited to 6 months. ORILISSA is contraindicated in women with severe hepatic impairment (Child-Pugh C) [see Contraindications ( 4 ), and Clinical Pharmacology ( 12.3 )] .

Clinical pharmacology
ORILISSA is a GnRH receptor antagonist that inhibits endogenous GnRH signaling by binding competitively to GnRH receptors in the pituitary gland. Administration of ORILISSA results in dose-dependent suppression of luteinizing hormone (LH) and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), leading to decreased blood concentrations of the ovarian sex hormones, estradiol and progesterone. Effect on Ovulation and Estradiol In a 3-menstrual cycle study in healthy women, ORILISSA 150 mg once daily and 200 mg twice daily resulted in an ovulation rate of approximately 50% and 32%, respectively. In the Phase 3 trials in women with endometriosis, ORILISSA caused a dose-dependent reduction in median estradiol concentrations to approximately 42 pg/mL for 150 mg once daily regimen and 12 pg/mL for the 200 mg twice daily regimen. Cardiac Electrophysiology The effect of elagolix on the QTc interval was evaluated in a randomized, placebo- and positive-controlled, open-label, single-dose, crossover thorough QTc study in 48 healthy adult premenopausal women. Elagolix concentrations in subjects given a single dose of 1200 mg was 17-times higher than the concentration in subjects given elagolix 200 mg twice daily. There was no clinically relevant prolongation of the QTc interval. The pharmacokinetic properties of ORILISSA in healthy subjects are summarized in Table 8 . The steady state pharmacokinetic parameters under fasting conditions are summarized in Table 9 . Table 8.

The mean exposures are similar for women with moderate to severe or end stage renal disease (including women on dialysis) compared to women with normal renal function. Patients with Hepatic Impairment   Elagolix exposures (C max and AUC) are similar between women with normal hepatic function and women with mild hepatic impairment. Elagolix exposures in women with moderate and severe hepatic impairment are approximately 3-fold and 7-fold, respectively, higher than exposures from women with normal hepatic function [see Use in Specific Populations ( 8.7 )] . Rac ial or Ethnic Groups   No clinically meaningful difference in the pharmacokinetics of ORILISSA between White and Black subjects or between Hispanics and others was observed. There is no clinically meaningful difference in the pharmacokinetics of ORILISSA between Japanese and Han Chinese subjects. Body weight/Body mass index Body weight or body mass index does not affect the pharmacokinetics of ORILISSA. Drug Interaction Studies Drug interaction studies were performed with ORILISSA and other drugs that are likely to be co-administered and with drugs commonly used as probes for pharmacokinetic interactions. Tables 10 and 11 summarize the pharmacokinetic effects when elagolix was co-administered with these drugs. Table 10.

Hepatic uptake of elagolix involves the OATP 1B1 transporter protein. Higher plasma concentrations of elagolix have been observed in patients who have two reduced function alleles of the gene that encodes OATP 1B1 (SLCO1B1 521T>C) (these patients are likely to have reduced hepatic uptake of elagolix and thus, higher plasma elagolix concentrations). The frequency of this SLCO1B1 521 C/C genotype is generally less than 5% in most racial/ethnic groups. Subjects with this genotype are expected to have a 78% mean increase in elagolix concentrations compared to subjects with normal transporter function (i.e., SLCO1B1 521T/T genotype). Adverse effects of elagolix have not been fully evaluated in subjects who have two reduced function alleles of the gene that encodes OATP1B1 (SLCO1B1 521T>C).

Two-year carcinogenicity studies conducted in mice (50, 150, or 500 mg/kg/day) and rats (150, 300, or 800 mg/kg/day) that administered elagolix by the dietary route revealed no increase in tumors in mice at up to 19-fold the MRHD based on AUC. In the rat, there was an increase in thyroid (male and female) and liver (males only) tumors at the high dose (12 to 13-fold the MRHD). The rat tumors were likely species-specific and of negligible relevance to humans. Elagolix was not genotoxic or mutagenic in a battery of tests, including the in vitro bacterial reverse mutation assay, the in vitro mammalian cell forward mutation assay at the thymidine kinase (TK+/-) locus in L5178Y mouse lymphoma cells, and the in vivo mouse micronucleus assay. In a fertility study conducted in the rat, there was no effect of elagolix on fertility at any dose (50, 150, or 300 mg/kg/day). Based on AUC, the exposure multiple for the MRHD in women compared to the highest dose of 300 mg/kg/day in female rats is approximately 5-fold. However, because elagolix has low affinity for the GnRH receptor in the rat [see Use in Specific Populations ( 8.1 )] , and because effects on fertility are most likely to be mediated via the GnRH receptor, these data have low relevance to humans.
Clinical studies
The efficacy of ORILISSA 150 mg once daily and 200 mg twice daily for the management of moderate to severe pain associated with endometriosis was demonstrated in two multinational double-blind, placebo-controlled trials in 1686 premenopausal women [Study EM-1 (NCT01620528) and Study EM-2 (NCT01931670)]. The median age of women in the trials was 32 years; 88% were White, 9% were Black or African American and 3% were other races. Each placebo-controlled trial assessed the reduction in endometriosis-associated pain over 6 months of treatment. Moderate to severe pain associated with endometriosis was required for entry into the trials and was assessed during screening using the composite pelvic signs and symptoms score (CPSSS) and other baseline criteria. The CPSSS is based on a modified Biberoglu and Behrman scale with five elements: three responses reported by study subjects (dysmenorrhea, dyspareunia, and non-menstrual pelvic pain) and two findings based on investigator assessment during physical examination (rating of pelvic tenderness and induration). Each element is scored from 0 (absent) to 3 (severe) for a maximum total score of 15. A total score of at least 6, with a score of at least 2 for dysmenorrhea and at least 2 for non-menstrual pelvic pain was required to qualify for randomization. Subjects were also required to have non-menstrual pelvic pain for at least four days in the preceding calendar month, defined as 35 days. Other criteria to determine eligibility for randomization included subject responses in a daily electronic diary (Endometriosis Daily Pain Impact Scale, described below) for both dysmenorrhea and non-menstrual pelvic pain in the 35 days prior to randomization. Dysmenorrhea and Non-Menstrual Pelvic Pain The co-primary efficacy endpoints were (1) the proportion of subjects whose dysmenorrhea responded to treatment at Month 3 and (2) the proportion of subjects whose pelvic pain not related to menses (also known as non-menstrual pelvic pain) responded to treatment at Month 3. Dysmenorrhea and non-menstrual pelvic pain were evaluated daily using the Endometriosis Daily Pain Impact Scale that asked subjects to rate their pain severity and its impact on daily activities during the prior 24 hours as none, mild, moderate or severe (correlating with a score of 0 to 3, respectively, where higher scores indicated greater severity). Scores at baseline and at each month were averaged over a 35-day interval. Women were defined as responders if they experienced a reduction in dysmenorrhea and non-menstrual pelvic pain as defined in Table 12 with no increase in analgesic use (nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug or opioid) for endometriosis-associated pain. The threshold for defining responders was based on a receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis using the patient global impression of change as an anchor. A higher proportion of women treated with ORILISSA 150 mg once daily or 200 mg twice daily were responders for dysmenorrhea and non-menstrual pelvic pain compared to placebo in a dose-dependent manner at Month 3 [see Table 12 ] .

In Study EM-1, baseline NRS scores were 5.7 for ORILISSA 150 mg once daily, 5.5 for ORILISSA 200 mg twice daily and 5.6 for placebo. In Study EM-2, baseline NRS scores were 5.7 for ORILISSA 150 mg once daily, 5.3 for ORILISSA 200 mg twice daily and 5.6 for placebo. Women taking ORILISSA 150 mg once daily and 200 mg twice daily reported a statistically (p <0.001) significant reduction from baseline in NRS scores compared to placebo at Month 3 in both Studies EM-1 and EM-2 (Study EM-1: 0.7 points for ORILISSA 150 mg once daily and 1.3 points for ORILISSA 200 mg twice daily; Study EM-2: 0.6 points for ORILISSA 150 mg once daily and 1.2 points for ORILISSA 200 mg twice daily). In addition, both ORILISSA treatment groups showed statistically significantly greater mean decreases from baseline compared to placebo in dysmenorrhea and non-menstrual pelvic pain scores at Month 6. Figures 3 through 6 show the mean scores for dysmenorrhea and non-menstrual pelvic pain over time for Study EM-1 and EM-2. Figure 3.

In both Studies EM-1 and EM-2, women treated with ORILISSA 200 mg twice daily showed statistically significantly greater reduction in dyspareunia from baseline to Month 3 than women given placebo (Study EM-1: 0.2; Study EM-2: 0.3). Figures 7 and 8 show the mean scores over time for Study EM-1 and EM-2. Figure 7. Mean Dyspareunia Scores a in Study EM-1 Over 3 Months Figure 8. Mean Dyspareunia Scores a in Study EM-2 Over 3 Months Use of rescue pain medication In EM-1 and EM-2, 59% and 60% of patients used an opioid rescue analgesic for pain at baseline. The opioid rescue analgesics used at baseline were predominantly hydrocodone/acetaminophen (HC/APAP) and codeine/APAP at strengths of 5/300-325 mg and 30/300-500 mg. In EM-1, of all patients on an opioid at baseline, 98% and 2% were on HC/APAP and codeine/APAP, respectively. In EM-2, of all patients on an opioid at baseline, 50% were on HC/APAP and 16% were on codeine/APAP. Other data related to opioid rescue analgesic use are summarized in Table 13 . Table 13.
