• Heavy menstrual bleeding (HMB) >80 mL documented by menstrual pictogram (MP) in a bleeding episode during the screening period. Women who did not suffer from perceived HMB during the 3 months prior to Visit 1 due to any effective medical treatment, e.g. with a hormonal contraceptive, are not considered appropriate candidates and should not undergo further screening procedures.
