Key Quote:
“We are encouraged by the positive data generated from the pilot study, demonstrating the potential clinical benefit of Yselty for the treatment of severe adenomyosis,” said Olivier Donnez, M.D., Ph.D., a key opinion leader in gynecologic therapeutics. “Suppression of estradiol using GnRH antagonists has been shown to be an effective treatment for endometriosis and uterine fibroids. Building on this, results from our study indicate that a full-suppression dose of Yselty reduces uterine and adenomyosis lesion size, as well as abnormal uterine bleeding and pelvic pain. We look forward to expanding on this study, potentially exploring a partial suppression dose to maintain efficacy after 24 weeks as we continue to work toward maximizing the full potential of Yselty to improve quality of life for patients.”
