GENEVA, Switzerland May9, 2022 – ObsEva SA (NASDAQ: OBSV; SIX: OBSN), a biopharmaceutical company developing and commercializing novel therapies for women’s health, today announced the presentation of clinical data from the PRIMROSE (1 and 2) Phase 3 studies of linzagolix for the treatment of heavy menstrual bleeding associated with uterine fibroids at the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) Annual Clinical and Scientific Meeting (ACSM), which was held in San Diego, California from May 6-8, 2022.

“We are encouraged by these additional analyses and post-treatment data from the PRIMROSE Phase 3 study that continue to underscore linzagolix’s clinical utility and differentiated profile,” said Dr. Brandi Howard, Chief Clinical Officer of ObsEva. “The results demonstrate that linzagolix has the potential to balance safety, efficacy, and address the wide-ranging symptoms of uterine fibroids. Linzagolix shows promise in delivering sustained clinical benefit, and if approved, would be the only approved GnRH antagonist to provide flexible dosing options with and without hormonal add-back therapy to better address the individual needs of patients.”

Details of the presentations, along with key conclusions, are included below. The full abstracts have also been published in the Obstetrics &Gynecology supplement.

Key Conclusions: Linzagolix treatment had substantial beneficial effects on health-related quality of life in women with uterine fibroids after 24 weeks of treatment.

Key Conclusions: Linzagolix effects persisted following the 52-week treatment period, although there was partial return to baseline for all measured efficacy endpoints. At 64 weeks, improvements in pain, hemoglobin, health-related quality of life, as well as uterine and fibroid volumes were diminished, but a beneficial difference from baseline was maintained. The return to menstruation was rapid, and at 76 weeks, study participants had full or partial recovery of lumbar spine bone mineral density across doses.


About the Phase 3 PRIMROSE Program in Uterine Fibroids
PRIMROSE 1 & 2 were prospective, randomized, parallel group, double-blind, placebo-controlled Phase 3 studies that investigated the efficacy and safety of two dosing regimens of linzagolix, 100 mg and 200 mg once daily, alone and in combination with hormonal ABT (1 mg estradiol and 0.5 mg norethindrone acetate) for the treatment of heavy menstrual bleeding associated with uterine fibroids. PRIMROSE 1 was conducted in the United States and enrolled 574 women. PRIMROSE 2 was conducted in Europe and in the United States and enrolled 535 women. Both trials comprised a 52-week treatment period followed by a 6-month post treatment follow-up period. Additional information can be found here.

About Linzagolix
Linzagolix is a novel, once daily, oral GnRH receptor antagonist with a potentially best-in-class profile.1,2,3 Linzagolix was developed to offer flexibility and choice to women suffering from uterine fibroids, with proposed dosing regimens alone and in combination with hormonal add-back therapy. For women with uterine fibroids for whom hormonal add-back therapy is appropriate, linzagolix has the potential to offer a best-in-class efficacy rate and tolerability profile. For women with uterine fibroids who cannot or do not want to take hormones, linzagolix has the potential to be the first and only approved oral GnRH antagonist with a non-hormonal dosing option. Linzagolix has completed clinical trial development for the treatment of uterine fibroids and is currently in late-stage clinical development for the treatment of pain associated with endometriosis. ObsEva licensed linzagolix from Kissei in late 2015 and retains worldwide commercial rights, excluding Asia, for the product. Linzagolix is not currently approved anywhere in the world.
