|---|---|
| Main Objective: To assess the preliminary efficacy of the OphenaTM 60 mg in the treatment of vasomotor symptoms associated with the menopause. ;Secondary Objective: Safety and tolerability.;Primary end point(s): Change in Frequency of Vasomotor Symptoms -- The total number of hot flashes per week will be determined from the HFD for the screening week (baseline measurement) and for each of the six weeks of treatment. The % change from baseline to Week 6 (End-of-Therapy) in total number of hot flashes per week will be a primary efficacy parameter. Change in Severity of Vasomotor Symptoms -- A hot flash severity score will be calculated from each HFD for the screening week (baseline measurement) and for each of the six weeks of treatment by multiplying the number of hot flashes in each severity category (mild, moderate, severe, very severe) by the category code (1, 2, 3, 4, respectively) and summing the results. | — |
