PEARL I: Study objectives
Primary objectives
• Demonstrate superior efficacy of ESMYA + iron versus placebo + iron for:
– Reducing excessive uterine bleeding prior to surgery
– Reducing total fibroid volume prior to surgery
• Assess overall safety of ESMYA in subjects with uterine fibroids
Secondary objectives
• Demonstrate superior efficacy of ESMYA + iron versus placebo + iron at
correcting anaemia caused by uterine fibroidscorrecting anaemia caused by uterine fibroids
• Demonstrate improvements in fibroid-related symptoms, such as pain
• Assess the capacity of ESMYA to decrease uterine volume
Exploratory objectives
• Proportion of subjects switched to less invasive surgery or for whom surgery is
cancelled due to improved condition at treatment completion
• Proportion of subjects undergoing blood transfusion, the number of transfusions
and volume transfused per subject

PEARL II: Study objectives
Primary objective
• Demonstrate non-inferior efficacy of ESMYA versus GnRHa for reducing
excessive uterine bleeding prior to surgery
• Demonstrate superior safety and tolerability of ESMYA versus GnRHa for
castration-related symptoms and their consequences
Secondary objectives
• Demonstrate improvements in fibroid-related symptoms, such as QOL and pain• Demonstrate improvements in fibroid-related symptoms, such as QOL and pain
• Assess the capacity of ESMYA to:
– Decrease uterine volume
– Decrease the volume of the 3 largest fibroids
Exploratory objectives
• Proportion of subjects switched to less invasive surgery or for whom surgery is
cancelled due to improved condition at treatment completion
• Proportion of subjects undergoing blood transfusion, the number of transfusions
and volume transfused per subject

EFFICACY
• To investigate the efficacy of ESMYA on
– Uterine bleeding
– Myoma size
– Pain
– Quality of life
PEARL III: Study objectives
– Quality of life
SAFETY
• To assess safety of ESMYA
• To extend the existing safety database
EXPLORATORY
• Uterine bleeding characteristics upon return of menses
• Histology of the endometrium
• Time to return of menstruation after ESMYA treatment
EXTENSION
• Investigate efficacy and safety of long-term on-off use up to a total of 4
times 3 months ESMYA
