Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

Estradiol treatment is effective at reducing vasomotor symptoms (eg hot flushes) in postmenopausal women. This study will evaluate the safety and efficacy of Evamist.

Condition or Disease Intervention/Treatment Phase
  • Drug: Estradiol transdermal one 90 μL spray
  • Drug: Estradiol transdermal spray, two 90 μL sprays

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

  1. Mean Change in the Number of Moderate to Severe Vasomotor Symptoms Per Day [baseline to week 12]

    Patients completed a daily diary to record the number of mild, moderate and number of moderate or severe vasomotor symptoms [hot flushes and sweating] experienced each day. Mild, moderate and severe hot flushes and sweating were defined as follows: Mild = sensation of heat without sweating Moderate = sensation of heat with sweating, ability to continue activity Severe = sensation of heat with sweating, causing discontinuation of activity

  2. Mean Change the Severity of Moderate to Severe Vasomotor Symptoms [baseline to week 12 (12 weeks)]

    Patients completed a daily diary to record the number of mild, moderate and severe vasomotor symptoms experienced each day. Mild, moderate and severe were defined as follows: Mild = sensation of heat without sweating Moderate = sensation of heat with sweating, ability to continue activity Severe = sensation of heat with sweating, causing discontinuation of activity Severity of hot flushes was measured on a scale of none = 0, mild = 1, moderate = 2 and severe = 3.
