Severity of Bleeding as a Predictor of Quality of Life (QoL) in Women With Heavy Menstrual Bleeding (HMB) Under Dydrogesterone Treatment

Completed
Conditions
Menorrhagia
Metrorrhagia
Registration Number
NCT01647360
Lead Sponsor
Abbott
Brief Summary

Dydrogesterone is a retroprogesterone with a molecular structure similar to natural progesterone. As a C-21 steroid, it has a high affinity for progesterone receptors, a low antigonadotropic activity and antiestrogenic activity, but almost no estrogenic or androgenic activity. Dydrogesterone (Duphaston©) is indicated for dysfunctional bleeding.

In this study, women suffering from menorrhagia and who are treated with dydrogesterone will be observed for impact on QoL with the reduction in severity of bleeding.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
EQ-5D Quality of Life questionnaire3 months

The EQ-5D assesses five dimensions of HRQOL: mobility, self-care, usual activities, pain or discomfort, and anxiety or depression. Each dimension is measured on a three-point ordinal scale where a higher score corresponds to a worse health state (no limitation, some limitation, and greatest limitation in HRQOL). This will be evaluated at baseline and then at each follow up visit to see impact on quality of life.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Pictorial Blood Assessment Chart (PBAC) score3 months

PBAC score of 100 or more corresponds with heavy menstrual bleeding. PBAC score will be assessed at each visit to see any improvement.

Menstrual Cycle Diary3 months

Change in the nature of menstruation will be taken into account based on the subjects' perception as recorded on the Menstrual Cycle Diary.
