Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

A Phase 3, Randomized, Double-blind, Placebo-controlled, Parallel-group Trial with an optional Open-label Extension to evaluate the efficacy of bremelanotide (BMT), administered subcutaneously (SC) on an as needed basis for the treatment of HSDD (with or without decreased arousal) in premenopausal females.

Condition or Disease Intervention/Treatment Phase
Phase 3

Detailed Description

This will be a multicenter, randomized, placebo-controlled, parallel group study in up to 80 sites in the United States of America (USA) and Canada to evaluate the efficacy and safety of a fixed dose of SC BMT versus placebo on an as-needed basis under conditions of home use in premenopausal women with HSDD (with or without decreased arousal).

The study will consist of 2 phases: (1) Core Study: 4-week no-treatment qualification period, a 4-week single-blind placebo treatment period (baseline), and a 24-week double-blind treatment period where participants will self-administer placebo or BMT 1.75 mg SC via an autoinjector; and (2) Extension Phase: a 52-week open-label treatment period during which all subjects will receive BMT 1.75 mg.

Primary Objective

• To evaluate the efficacy of bremelanotide (BMT), administered subcutaneously (SC) on an as needed basis for the treatment of HSDD (with or without decreased arousal) in premenopausal females.

Secondary Objectives

  • To evaluate the efficacy of BMT in premenopausal women in the double-blind Core Study, as assessed by subject responses to questionnaires measuring sexual function, treatment satisfaction, and distress associated with sexual dysfunction.

  • To evaluate the safety of BMT in premenopausal women in the double-blind Core Study.

  • To evaluate the safety of long-term therapy with BMT in the open label Extension Phase.

  • To evaluate the efficacy of long-term therapy with BMT in the open-label Extension Phase.

  • Outcome Measures

    Primary Outcome Measures

    1. Efficacy of a Fixed Dose of Bremelanotide as Measured by FSFI (Question Q1 and Q2), 28-day Recall. [8 weeks baseline plus 24 weeks (Main Study), 52 Weeks (OLE)]

      As measured by change from baseline to end-of-study in the desire domain from the FSFI (Question Q1 and Q2), 28-day recall, co-primary endpoint - FSFI desire domain This score is on a scale ranging from 1.2 to 6. A higher score on this scale represent an increase in sexual desire and is a better outcome.

    2. Efficacy of a Fixed Dose of Bremelanotide as Measured by FSDS-DAO (Item 13) [8 weeks baseline plus 24 weeks (Main Study), 52 Weeks (OLE)]

      As measured by the change from baseline to End-of-Study of the Core Study in the bothered by low desire item from the FSDS-DAO (item 13). Responses range from 0 (never) to 4 (always). Lower scores on this scale represent an increase in sexual desire and indicate a better outcome. Higher scores indicate a worse outcome.

    Secondary Outcome Measures

    1. Efficacy of a Fixed Dose of Bremelanotide, as Measured by the Change in Baseline to End of Study (EOS) in the Number of Satisfying Sexual Events (SSEs) Associated With Study Drug Administration [8 weeks baseline plus 24 weeks (Main Study), 52 Weeks (OLE)]

      Mean change from Baseline to end of study (EOS) in the number of satisfying sexual events (SSEs) that occurred within 16 hours of study drug dosing and reported within 72 hours. An increase in number indicates a better outcome.

    2. Efficacy of a Fixed Dose of Bremelanotide, as Measured by the Change in Baseline to End of Study in Mean Desire Score (Q3) From the FSEP-R [8 weeks baseline plus 24 weeks (Main Study), 52 Weeks (OLE)]

      FSEP-R=Female Sexual Encounter Profile - Revised Scores on this scale range from 0 (no desire) to 3 (high desire). Scale is derived from a questionnaire (mean desire score) where an increase in value indicates a better outcome.

    3. Efficacy of a Fixed Dose of Bremelanotide, as Measured by the Change in Baseline to End of Study in Mean Satisfaction With Desire Score (Q4) From FSEP-R [8 weeks baseline plus 24 weeks (Main Study), 52 Weeks (OLE)]

      FSEP-R=Female Sexual Encounter Profile - Revised Scores range from 0 (no desire) to 3 (high desire). Scale is derived from a questionnaire (mean desire score) where a higher score indicates a better outcome.

    4. Efficacy of a Fixed Dose of Bremelanotide, as Measured by the Change in Baseline to End of Study in the FSDS-DAO Total Score [8 weeks baseline plus 24 weeks (Main Study), 52 Weeks (OLE)]
