Summary
This trial will test how well a combination of drugs called relugolix works as a contraceptive in women.
Who is the study for?
This trial is for premenopausal women aged 18-50 who are at risk of pregnancy and seeking contraception.

They should have either endometriosis confirmed by surgery or severe menstrual pain, or uterine fibroids diagnosed via ultrasound with heavy bleeding.
What is being tested?

What are the potential side effects?
While not explicitly listed here, potential side effects may include hormonal changes typical of contraceptives such as mood swings, weight gain, headaches, nausea, and possibly specific effects related to Relugolix like bone density reduction.
