FDA Approves Myovant Sciences/Pfizer's Treatment For Endometriosis-Associated Pain

The FDA has approved Myovant Sciences Ltd MYOV and Pfizer Inc's PFE once-a-daily Myfembree for moderate to severe pain associated with endometriosis in pre-menopausal women, with a treatment duration of up to 24 months.
The approval is supported by one-year efficacy and safety data, including 24-week data from the Phase 3 SPIRIT 1 and SPIRIT 2 trials and the first 28 weeks of an open-label extension study.
Overall, these studies showed that Myfembree reduced menstrual pain and non-menstrual pelvic pain with a loss of mean bone mineral density of less than 1% from baseline through one year of treatment.
