No medical therapy is currently available for the long-term treatment of abnormal uterine bleeding associated with uterine fibroids. Asoprisnil (10 mg and 25mg) is being evaluated in a Phase 3 program to establish long term safety and effectiveness and therefore provide women with a medical alternative to surgery.
