Change From Baseline in the Monthly Mean Numerical Rating Score (NRS) for Endometriosis Pain
The NRS is an 11-point scale used to measure endometriosis pain and was completed at approximately the same time each day using an electronic diary (e-Diary). Participants were instructed to select a single number between 0 (No pain) and 10 (Worst pain ever) that best described their endometriosis pain at its worst over the past day.
The monthly mean NRS is the average of the daily values reported during the 4 weeks prior to each visit.
Change From Baseline in the Monthly Peak Numerical Rating Score (NRS) for Endometriosis Pain
The NRS is an 11-point scale used to measure endometriosis pain and was completed at approximately the same time each day using an electronic diary (e-Diary). Participants were instructed to select a single number between 0 (No pain) and 10 (Worst pain ever) that best described their endometriosis pain at its worst over the past day.
The monthly peak NRS is the maximum of the daily values reported during the 4 weeks prior to each visit.
Change From Baseline in the Monthly Mean Non-menstrual Pelvic Pain Score
Participants assessed their pelvic pain not related to menses and its impact on their daily activities at approximately the same time every day in an e-Diary according to the following response options:
0 = No pelvic pain
1 = Mild pelvic pain; subject could not do some of the things she usually does
2 = Moderate pelvic pain; subject could not do many of the things she usually does
3 = Severe pelvic pain; subject could not do most or all of the things she usually does.
The monthly mean non-menstrual pelvic pain score is the average of the daily values reported during the 4 weeks prior to each visit.
Change From Baseline in the Monthly Mean Dysmenorrhea Score
Participants assessed dysmenorrhea (pain during menstruation) and its impact on their daily activities at approximately the same time each day in an e-Diary according to the following response options:
Subject is not having her period
0 = No pain related to period
1 = Mild pain related to period; subject could not do some of the things she usually does
2 = Moderate pain related to period; subject could not do many of the things she usually does
3 = Severe pain related to period; subject could not do most of or all of the things she usually does.
The monthly mean dysmenorrhea score is the average of the daily values reported during the 4 weeks prior to each visit.
Change From Baseline in the Monthly Mean Total of Dysmenorrhea and Non-menstrual Pelvic Pain Scores
Participants assessed dysmenorrhea and pelvic pain not related to menses and their impact on daily activities at approximately the same time every day on a 4-point scale (0 = none, 1 = mild, 2 = moderate, and 3 = severe) in an e-Diary.
The sum of the dysmenorrhea and non-menstrual pelvic pain scores on each day were calculated to create a daily total score. On days the participant was not having her period, the dysmenorrhea score was not defined; hence, the total score was equal to the non-menstrual pelvic pain score (range 0 to 3). On days where the participant recorded menstruation the total score ranged from 0 to 6, where higher scores indicate more severe pain. The monthly mean sum of dysmenorrhea and non-menstrual pelvic pain scores is the average of the daily values reported during the 4 weeks prior to each visit.
Percentage of Days With No Pain Based on NRS
The NRS is an 11-point scale used to measure endometriosis pain and was completed at approximately the same time each day using an electronic diary (e-Diary).

The percentage of days a participant reported a value of zero ("no pain") for dysmenorrhea was calculated for the 4 weeks prior to each visit.
Percentage of Days With No Pain Based Based on Total Score of Non-menstrual Pelvic Pain and Dysmenorrhea Daily Assessment
Participants assessed dysmenorrhea and pelvic pain not related to menses and their impact on daily activities at approximately the same time every day in an e-Diary on a 4-point scale (0 = none, 1 = mild, 2 = moderate, and 3 = severe). The sum of the dysmenorrhea and non-menstrual pelvic pain scores on each day were calculated to create a daily total score. On days the participant was not having her period, the dysmenorrhea score was not defined; hence, the total score was equal to the non-menstrual pelvic pain score (range 0 to 3). On days where the participant recorded menstruation the total score ranged from 0 to 6, where higher scores indicate more severe pain.
The percentage of days a participant reported a value of zero ("no pain") for the non-menstrual pelvic pain and dysmenorrhea total score was calculated for the 4 weeks prior to each visit.

Change From Baseline in Endometriosis Health Profile-5 (EHP-5) at Week 12
The EHP-5 is an instrument to measure health-related quality of life in women with endometriosis. The EHP-5 consists of two parts:
A core questionnaire consisting of five questions that measure the areas of pain, control and powerlessness, emotional well-being, social support, and self-image with five response categories for each item (Never, Rarely, Sometimes, Often, Always)
A supplemental questionnaire consisting of six additional questions which assess the areas of work, relationship with children, sexual intercourse, feelings about the medical profession, treatment, and infertility with the same five response categories plus an additional response category of Not Relevant which was not scored.
The scores associated with each possible outcome category are as follows: never (0), rarely (25), sometimes (50), often (75), and always (100). A negative change from baseline score indicates improvement in quality of life.
