Ulipristal acetate (UPA), previously named CDB-2914, is a selective progesterone-receptor modulator (SPRM). It binds to the progesterone receptors with high affinity. It inhibits follicular development and ovulation, while it has no significant effects on estradiol levels and antiglucocorticoid activity. Preoperative use of Ulipristal for symptomatic uterine fibroids has been investigated in randomized controlled study with improvement in terms of uterine bleeding, fibroids volume, pre-operative anaemia and symptoms severity. However there is still lacking evidence in terms of long term safety and efficacy. Also there is lack of evidence in Chinese population.
