Positive results have been announced in all five trials. Two New Drug Applications have been submitted to the FDA, including one for relugolix for men with advanced prostate cancer in April 2020 and one for relugolix combination tablet for women with heavy menstrual bleeding and uterine fibroids in May 2020. In August, Myovant announced that its NDA for once-daily, oral relugolix combination tablet for the treatment of women with heavy menstrual bleeding associated with uterine fibroids had been accepted for review by the FDA. The FDA has set a target action date of June 1, 2021 under the Prescription Drug User Fee Act (PDUFA). A third NDA is expected to be filled for relugolix combination tablet for women with pain associated with endometriosis.
