Ireland, December 20th<\/sup>, 2024 \u2013 Theramex, a global pharmaceutical company dedicated to women\u2019s health, is pleased to announce that the European Commission (EC) has approved an extended indication for Yselty\u00ae<\/sup> <\/strong>(linzagolix), an oral gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) antagonist, for the symptomatic treatment of endometriosis in adult women of reproductive age with a history of previous medical or surgical treatment for their endometriosis.1<\/sup> This approval, effective immediately, applies to EU markets (excluding the UK and non-EU markets).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Theramex in-licensed Linzagolix from Kissei Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. in 2022, and this achievement underscores Theramex\u2019s unwavering commitment to advancing women\u2019s health.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Endometriosis is a chronic and often painful condition that affects millions of women globally, and can significantly impact their quality of life.2<\/sup><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe are delighted that the European Commission has approved the extended indication for <\/em>Yselty\u00ae<\/sup> <\/strong>(linzagolix), providing women with endometriosis an additional treatment option to manage their symptoms,\u201d <\/em>said Robert Stewart, Theramex CEO. \u201cThis marks another important step in our commitment to improving women\u2019s health by offering more choices for treatment. At Theramex, we remain dedicated to empowering women to take control of their health and enhance their quality of life.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The EC approval follows the European Medicines Agency Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use (CHMP) positive opinion in October 2024,3<\/sup> based on results from the EDELWEISS 3 study.4<\/sup> The approval for amending the marketing authorisation was granted by Decision C(2022) 4199(final).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

About EDELWEISS 3<\/strong>4<\/sup><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The efficacy of linzagolix was evaluated in a Phase 3, randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled study (EDELWEISS 3) involving 484 women aged 18\u201349 with moderate to severe endometriosis-associated pain, treated for up to six months.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The daily dose of 200 mg linzagolix with add-back therapy (ABT) met the primary efficacy objectives, demonstrating clinically meaningful and statistically significant reductions in dysmenorrhea and non-menstrual pelvic pain at three months, with stable or reduced use of analgesics. At three months, 73% of participants in the 200 mg linzagolix with ABT group responded to treatment for dysmenorrhea (P < 0.001 versus placebo)<\/em> and 47% showed a response for non-menstrual pelvic pain (P = 0.007 versus placebo)<\/em> \u2013 compared with rates of 24% and 31% of participants in the placebo group respectively.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The most frequent adverse event reported was headache, occurring at similar rates in both the linzagolix 200 mg with ABT and placebo groups (10.5% versus 8.0%, respectively). Hot flashes and fatigue were reported more frequently in the linzagolix 200 mg with ABT group compared to the placebo group (6.8% each for linzagolix versus 2.5% each for placebo).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
