Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: The primary objective is to investigate the dose-relationship of topical Vagitocin on the vaginal mucosal membrane.;Secondary Objective: The safety objective is to investigate the safety and tolerability of topical Vagitocin treatment.;Primary end point(s): The primary endpoint is the change in percentage points of superficial cells from baseline visit (visit 1) to 7 weeks of treatment (Visit 3).;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: 7 weeks after first IMP administration

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Secondary end point(s): • Change in percentage points of superficial cells from baseline visit to 2 (Visit 2) weeks of treatment. • Change in maturation value from baseline visit to 2 (Visit 2) and 7 (Visit 3) weeks of treatment. • Change in vaginal pH from baseline visit to 2 (Visit 2) and 7 (Visit 3) weeks of treatment. • Visual appearance of the vaginal mucosa after 2 (Visit 2) and 7 (Visit 3) weeks of treatment • Patients´ self-assessment of the most bothersome symptom after 2 (Visit 2), 7 (Visit 3) weeks of treatment and at the telephone follow-up after 9 weeks. • Histological assessment after 2 (Visit 2) and 7 weeks (Visit 3) of treatment. • Change in score in selected items of WHQ/SSP from baseline visit to 7 (Visit 3) weeks of treatment and at the telephone follow-up after 9 weeks. The safety endpoint is the incident and severity of reported AEs.;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: 2, 7 and 9 weeks after first IMP administration.
