In addition, the drug maker MSN Laboratories has submitted the result of bioequivalence (BE) Study and Phase III clinical trial protocol before the committee.

Elagolix is a gonadotropin releasing hormone receptor antagonist used to treat moderate to severe pain in endometriosis.

Endometriosis develops when tissue that is similar to the kind that is normally located in the uterus starts to grow outside of the uterus. Such growth leads to various symptoms like pain during periods, pelvic pain between periods, and pain during sexual intercourse.

Elagolix is an orally-administered, nonpeptide small molecule gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) receptor antagonist that inhibits endogenous GnRH signaling by binding competitively to GnRH receptors in the pituitary gland.

Administration of elagolix results in dose-dependent suppression of luteinizing hormone (LH) and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), leading to decreased blood concentrations of the ovarian sex hormones, estradiol and progesterone.

At the recent SEC meeting for the Reproductive & Urology held on 31st January 2023, the expert panel reviewed the proposal for manufacturing and marketing the drug Elagolix Tablets 150mg & 200mg along with the result of BE Study and Phase III clinical trial protocol.
After detailed deliberation, the committee recommended the grant of permission to conduct the proposed Phase III clinical trial as per the protocol presented.
