Oriahnn is indicated for the management of heavy menstrual bleeding associated with uterine leiomyomas (fibroids) in premenopausal women.
Limitation of Use:
Use of Oriahnn should be limited to 24 months due to the risk of continued bone loss, which may not be reversible [see Dosage and Administration (2.1) and Warnings and Precautions (5.2)].
Oriahnn Dosage and Administration Important Dosing InformationInstruct the patient to take the missed dose of Oriahnn within 4 hours of the time that it was supposed to be taken and then the next dose at the usual time. If more than 4 hours have passed since a capsule is usually taken, instruct the patient not to takethe missed dose and take the next dose at the usual time. Take only one morning capsule and one evening capsule per day.
Dosage Forms and StrengthsOriahnn consists of two capsules:
Oriahnn is contraindicated in women:
Oriahnn is contraindicated in women with current or history of thrombotic or thromboembolic disorders and in women at increased risk for these events [see Contraindications (4)]. In the Phase 3 clinical trials (Studies UF-1, UF-2, and UF-3), two thrombotic events occurred in 453 Oriahnn-treated women (thrombosis in the calf and pulmonary embolism) [see Adverse Reactions (6.1) and Clinical Studies (14)]. Estrogen and progestin combinations, including the estradiol/norethindrone acetate component of Oriahnn, increase the risk of thrombotic or thromboembolic disorders, including pulmonary embolism, deep vein thrombosis, stroke, and myocardial infarction, especially in women at high risk for these events. In general, the risk is greatest among women over 35 years of age who smoke, and women with uncontrolled hypertension, dyslipidemia, vascular disease, or obesity.
Discontinue Oriahnn if an arterial or venous thrombotic, cardiovascular, or cerebrovascular event occurs or is suspected. If feasible, discontinue Oriahnn at least 4 to 6 weeks before surgery of the type associated with an increased risk of thromboembolism, or during periods of prolonged immobilization.
Stop Oriahnn immediately if there is sudden unexplained partial or complete loss of vision, proptosis, diplopia, papilledema, or retinal vascular lesions and evaluate for retinal vein thrombosis as these have been reported in patients receiving estrogens and progestins.
Bone LossOriahnn is contraindicated in women with known osteoporosis [see Contraindications (4)]. Oriahnn may cause a decrease in bone mineral density (BMD) in some patients. BMD loss is greater with increasing duration of use and may not be completely reversible after stopping treatment [see Adverse Reactions (6.1)].
In the Phase 3 clinical trials (Studies UF-1, UF-2, and UF-3) [see Clinical Studies (14)], seven out of 453 (1.5%) Oriahnn-treated women experienced fractures, including one (0.2%) with a fragility fracture, compared to one out of 196 (0.5%) placebo-treated women (patient had a non-fragility fracture). Five of the seven Oriahnn-treated women reported these fractures in the post-treatment follow-up period. The impact of BMD decreases on long-term bone health and future fracture risk in premenopausal women is unknown.
Consider the benefits and risks of Oriahnn treatment in patients with a history of a low-trauma fracture or other risk factors for osteoporosis or bone loss, including taking medications that may decrease BMD (e.g., systemic or chronic inhaled corticosteroids, anticonvulsants, or proton pump inhibitors).
Assessment of BMD by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) is recommended at baseline and periodically thereafter. Consider discontinuing Oriahnn if the risk associated with bone loss exceeds the potential benefit of treatment. Limit the duration of use to 24 months to reduce the extent of bone loss [see Indications and Usage (1) and Dosage and Administration (2.1)].
Although the effect of supplementation with calcium and vitamin D was not studied, such supplementation for patients with inadequate dietary intake may be beneficial.
Hormonally-Sensitive MalignanciesOriahnn is contraindicated in women with current or history of breast cancer and in women at increased risk for hormonally-sensitive malignancies, such as those with mutations in BRCA genes [see Contraindications (4)].
In the Phase 3 clinical trials (Studies UF-1, UF-2, and UF-3), two (0.4%) cases of breast cancer in 453 Oriahnn-treated women were observed. No breast cancer cases were seen in placebo-treated women [see Adverse Reactions (6.1)].
The use of estrogen alone and estrogen plus progestin has been reported to result in an increase in abnormal mammograms requiring further evaluation. Surveillance measures, such as breast examinations and regular mammography, are recommended. Discontinue Oriahnn if a hormonally-sensitive malignancy is diagnosed.
Suicidal Ideation, Suicidal Behavior, and Exacerbation of Mood DisordersIn Phase 3 placebo-controlled clinical trials (Studies UF-1 and UF-2), Oriahnn-treated women had a higher incidence (3%) of depression, depressed mood, and/or tearfulness compared to placebo-treated women (1%) [see Adverse Reactions (6.1)]. Suicidal ideation and behavior, including a completed suicide, occurred in women treated with lower doses of elagolix in clinical trials conducted for a different indication.
Promptly evaluate patients with depressive symptoms to determine whether the risks of continued therapy outweigh the benefits. Patients with new or worsening depression, anxiety, or other mood changes should be referred to a mental health professional, as appropriate. Advise patients to seek immediate medical attention for suicidal ideation and behavior.
Reevaluate the benefits and risks of continuing Oriahnn if such events occur.
Hepatic Impairment and Transaminase ElevationsContraindication in Patients with Hepatic Impairment
Oriahnn is contraindicated in women with known hepatic impairment or disease [see Contraindications (4), Use in Specific Populations (8.7), and Clinical Pharmacology (12.3)].
Transaminase Elevations
In Phase 3 placebo-controlled clinical trials (Studies UF-1 and UF-2), elevations (> 3 times the upper limit of the reference range) in alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) occurred in 1.1% (4/379) and 1.3% (5/379) of Oriahnn-treated patients, respectively, compared to no elevations in placebo. Transaminases peaked at 8 times the upper limit for ALT and 6 times the upper limit for AST. No pattern in time to onset of these liver transaminase elevations was identified. Transaminase levels returned to baseline within 4 months after peak values in these patients.
Instruct patients to promptly seek medical attention in case of symptoms or signs that may reflect liver injury, such as jaundice [see Adverse Reactions (6.1)].
Elevated Blood PressureOriahnn is contraindicated in women with uncontrolled hypertension [see Contraindications (4)]. In Studies UF-1 and UF-2, a maximum mean increase in systolic blood pressure of 5.1 mmHg [95% confidence interval (CI) 2.68, 7.59] occurred at Month 5, and a maximum mean increase in diastolic blood pressure of 2.1 mmHg (95% CI 0.43, 3.84) occurred at Month 4 in Oriahnn-treated women, as compared to placebo-treated women [see Adverse Reactions (6.1)].
For women with well-controlled hypertension, continue to monitor blood pressure and stop Oriahnn if blood pressure rises significantly. Monitor blood pressure in normotensive women treated with Oriahnn.
Gallbladder Disease or History of Cholestatic JaundiceStudies among estrogen users suggest a small increased relative risk of developing gallbladder disease. For women with a history of cholestatic jaundice associated with past estrogen use or with pregnancy, assess the risk-benefit of continuing therapy. Discontinue Oriahnn if jaundice occurs.
Change in Menstrual Bleeding Pattern and Reduced Ability to Recognize PregnancyOriahnn may delay the ability to recognize the occurrence of a pregnancy because it may reduce the intensity, duration, and amount of menstrual bleeding [see Adverse Reactions (6.1)]. Perform pregnancy testing if pregnancy is suspected, and discontinue Oriahnn if pregnancy is confirmed [see Use in Specific Populations (8.1, 8.3)].
The effect of hormonal contraceptives on the efficacy of Oriahnn is unknown. Advise women to use non-hormonal contraception during treatment and for one week after discontinuing Oriahnn [see Use in Specific Populations (8.1, 8.3)].
Effects on Carbohydrate and Lipid MetabolismOriahnn may decrease glucose tolerance and result in increased glucose levels. More frequent monitoring in Oriahnn-treated women with prediabetes and diabetes may be needed.
In women with pre-existing hypertriglyceridemia, estrogen therapy may be associated with elevations of plasma triglycerides leading to pancreatitis. Use of elagolix is associated with increases in total cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), and serum triglycerides. Monitor lipid levels and consider discontinuing Oriahnn if hypercholesterolemia or hypertriglyceridemia worsens [see Adverse Reactions (6.1)].
AlopeciaIn Phase 3 clinical trials (Studies UF-1 and UF-2), more women experienced alopecia, hair loss, and hair thinning with Oriahnn (3.5%) compared to placebo (1.0%). In almost one-third (4/14) of affected Oriahnn-treated women, alopecia was a reason for discontinuing treatment. No specific pattern was described. In the majority of affected women, hair loss was continuing when Oriahnn was stopped. Whether the hair loss is reversible is unknown. Consider discontinuing Oriahnn if hair loss becomes a concern [see Adverse Reactions (6.1)].
Effect on Other Laboratory ResultsThe use of estrogen and progestin combinations may raise serum concentrations of binding proteins (e.g., thyroid-binding globulin, corticosteroid-binding globulin), which may reduce the free thyroid or corticosteroid hormone levels. Patients with hypothyroidism and hypoadrenalism may require higher doses of thyroid hormone or cortisol replacement therapy, respectively.
The use of estrogen and progestin may also affect the levels of sex hormone-binding globulin, coagulation factors, lipids, and glucose [see Pharmacodynamics (12.2)].
Risk of Allergic Reactions Due to the Inactive Ingredient (FD&C Yellow No. 5)Oriahnn contains FD&C Yellow No. 5 (tartrazine), which may cause allergic-type reactions (including bronchial asthma) in certain susceptible persons. Although the overall incidence of FD&C Yellow No. 5 (tartrazine) sensitivity in the general population is low, it is frequently seen in patients who also have aspirin hypersensitivity.
Adverse ReactionsThe following serious adverse reactions are discussed elsewhere in labeling:
Because clinical trials are conducted under widely varying conditions, adverse reaction rates observed in the clinical trials of a drug cannot be directly compared to rates in the clinical trials of another drug and may not reflect the rates observed in clinical practice.
The safety of Oriahnn was evaluated in two 6-month, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trials (Studies UF-1 and UF-2), in which 790 premenopausal women received at least 1 dose of Oriahnn (n=395), elagolix 300 mg twice daily (n=199), or placebo (n=196) [see Clinical Studies (14)]. Women who completed 6-month treatment in either Study UF-1 or Study UF-2 and met eligibility criteria (n=433) entered a 6-month extension study (Study UF-3), receiving either Oriahnn (n=276) or elagolix 300 mg twice daily (n=157). Elagolix 300 mg twice daily is not an approved dosage but was included as a reference arm. A total of 341women received Oriahnn for 6 months and 182 women received Oriahnn for 12 months.
Serious Adverse Events
Serious adverse events were reported in three (0.8%) Oriahnn-treated women in Studies UF-1 and UF-2. Two women had heavy menstrual bleeding and required blood transfusion due to anemia (0.5%) and one woman with history of bariatric surgery had a laparoscopic cholecystectomy due to cholelithiasis.
In Study UF-3, two women were diagnosed with breast cancer. One woman had completed 6 months of treatment with Oriahnn in Study UF-1 and received 34 additional days of Oriahnn in Study UF-3 when diagnosed. The second woman had received placebo in Study UF-2 and completed 6 months of Oriahnn in Study UF-3 when diagnosed [see Warnings and Precautions (5.3)].
Adverse Reactions Leading to Study Discontinuation
In Studies UF-1 and UF-2, the discontinuation rate due to adverse reactions was 10% among Oriahnn-treated women and 7% among placebo-treated women. The most common adverse reactions leading to study drug discontinuation in the Oriahnn group were nausea (1%), headache (1%), alopecia (1%), metrorrhagia (1%), menorrhagia (1%), and hot flush (1%). One event each of the following adverse reactions led to study drug discontinuation: affect lability, angina pectoris, depression, hepatic enzyme increased, homicidal ideation, hypertension, irritability, thrombosis.
In women who received Oriahnn in Studies UF-1 or UF-2 and then in Study UF-3, 4% discontinued treatment due to adverse reactions. Three women discontinued due to serious adverse events (one each for breast cancer, menorrhagia with pelvic pain, and hysterectomy).
Common Adverse Reactions
Adverse reactions reported in ≥5% of Oriahnn-treated women in Studies UF-1 and UF-2 and at a greater frequency than placebo-treated women are presented in Table 1.
Adverse Reaction | Oriahnn N=395 | Placebo N=196 |
Hot flush | 22% | 9% |
Headache | 9% | 7% |
Fatigue | 6% | 4% |
Metrorrhagia | 5% | 1% |
The most commonly reported adverse reactions in the blinded extension trial (Study UF-3) were consistent with those in the placebo-controlled trials.
Less Common Adverse Reactions
In Studies UF-1 and UF-2, adverse reactions reported in ≥3% and 3% was seen in 27% (48/175) of women and a decline of ≥8% was seen in 1.7% (3/175) of women.
To assess for recovery, the change in BMD over time was analyzed for women who received continuous Oriahnn treatment for up to 12 months and were then followed after cessation of therapy for an additional 12 months in Study UF-3 (Figure 1). The LS mean percent change from baseline in BMD 12 months after cessation of therapy was -0.72 (95% CI -1.2, -0.2), -0.59 (-1.0, -0.2), and -0.95 (-1.6, -0.3) at the lumbar spine, total hip, and femoral neck, respectively. Twelve months after cessation of Oriahnn, continued bone loss was observed at the lumbar spine, total hip, and femoral neck in 24%, 32%, and 40% of women, respectively. Partial recovery was observed in 46%, 33%, and 38% and full recovery was observed in 30%, 35%, and 22% of women at these same sites. The time to maximum recovery in women who partially recovered is unknown.

Suicidal Ideation, Suicidal Behavior, and Exacerbation of Mood Disorders
In the placebo-controlled trials (Studies UF-1 and UF-2), Oriahnn was associated with adverse mood changes. Depression, depressed mood, and/or tearfulness were reported in 3% of Oriahnn-treated women compared to 1% of placebo-treated women. One woman treated with lower dose elagolix alone for another disease completed suicide 2 days after elagolix discontinuation.
Hepatic Transaminase Elevations
In Studies UF-1 and UF-2, elevations of serum ALT and AST with no concurrent elevations of bilirubin were reported.
Blood Pressure Elevations
There were more Oriahnn-treated women with systolic blood pressure ≥ 160 mmHg (7.1%) and diastolic blood pressure ≥ 100 mmHg (11.3%) compared to placebo-treated women (3.7% and 6.3%, respectively). The incidence of hypertensive adverse reactions was 3.8% in Oriahnn-treated women and 3.1% placebo-treated women. One Oriahnn-treated woman in Study UF-1, with no prior history but with elevated cholesterol levels, had severe hypertension (BP 204/112) and chest pain. ECG was negative. Her hypertension was controlled with anti-hypertensives and she completed Study UF-3.
Changes in Lipid Parameters
Increases in total cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), serum triglycerides, and apolipoprotein B were noted during Oriahnn treatment in Studies UF-1 and UF-2.

Liver Injury
Advise patients to promptly seek medical attention in case of signs or symptoms that may reflect liver injury, such as jaundice [see Warnings and Precautions (5.5) and Adverse Reactions (6.1)].
Change in Menstrual Bleeding Pattern
Advise patients that Oriahnn may delay the recognition of pregnancy because it may reduce the duration and amount of menstrual bleeding. Advise patients to use effective non-hormonal contraception while taking Oriahnn and to discontinue Oriahnn if pregnancy is diagnosed. Advise pregnant patients that there is a pregnancy registry that monitors pregnancy outcomes in women exposed to Oriahnn during pregnancy [see Warnings and Precautions (5.8) and Use in Specific Populations (8.1, 8.3)].
Alopecia
Advise patients that alopecia, hair loss, and hair thinning in no specific pattern, may occur with Oriahnn use.
