- W137128324 abstract "A total of 110 nonmenopausal women (mean age 42.1 years) presenting with symptomatic uterine leiomyomata and/or fibromatous uteri have been enrolled in this trial to evaluate the efficacy of the depot formulation of leuprorelin acetate in decreasing uterine volume and minimizing menorrhagia, dysmenorrhoea and pressure over the bladder. All patients were treated with an intramuscular injection of leuprorelin acetate depot 3.75 mg every 4 weeks for 16 weeks. Clinical examinations and hormonal and ultrasound determinations were performed before, during and at the end of treatment. Appropriate follow-up is still ongoing for most patients. At the end of the treatment period, of 88 women with enlarged fibromatous uteri, 33 (37.5%) showed a decrease in uterine volume of greater than or equal to 50% of the original size, while nine (10.2%) remained with unchanged uterine volume. Of 80 fibromas measurable separately, 47 (52.8%) decreased by greater than 50% of the initial volume and 16 (18%) remained unchanged or even increased. During treatment, clinically advantageous effects were observed in the associated symptomatology, mainly in the production of amenorrhoea and restoration of normal haemoglobin levels. Most of the patients were affected by irregular menstrual blood loss with consequent anaemia that in 29 patients was expressed by low levels of haemoglobin (mean 9.2 g/dl; SD 1.5; range 4.5-11.8 g/dl). By the end of the treatment, only one patient still had moderate vaginal blood loss. Haemoglobin levels rose to a mean value of 11.8 g/dl (SD 1.3; range 8.5-14.1 g/dl). Three patients (2.7%) failed to complete the 16-week treatment protocol, because of headache (one patient) and increased blood pressure (two patients). As a result of the treatment, of the 107 patients who were candidates for surgery and who were included in this study, only nine (8.4%) required surgery during leuprorelin acetate treatment. Of these, four operations were vaginal excision of the submucous myomata protruding into the cervix during treatment, and in five hysterectomy performed because of persistence of symptoms. In most patients the achievement of amenorrhoea minimized the fear of surgical emergency, facilitating an increased awareness of their clinical condition. With the exception of the three patients who dropped out, side effects were mild in all patients, consisting mainly of hot flushes, which were easily tolerated. In the following 8-12 months, the regrowth of uterine volume to original size has been usual in most of the 82 patients now in follow-up.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS)" @default.
