Higher score indicates the most bothersome symptoms. A negative change from Baseline indicates improvement. Final Assessment is defined as the last available post-baseline assessment for the given efficacy endpoint.
Change From Baseline in Vaginal pH to Final AssessmentBaseline (Day 0) to final assessment (Up to Week 12)Vaginal pH was obtained at baseline and final visit of the study. The pH was a numeric value from 0 to 14 expressing the acidity or alkalinity of the vaginal fluids where 7 was neutral, lower values were more acidic (values of 0-6) and higher values more alkaline (values of 8-14). A negative change from Baseline indicates improvement. Final Assessment is defined as the last available post-baseline assessment for the given efficacy endpoint.
Change From Baseline in the Percentage of Vaginal Superficial Cells to Final AssessmentBaseline (Day 0) to final assessment (Up to Week 12)Vaginal wall smears were collected from each participant. The smears were sent to the central laboratory for analysis to determine the percentage of superficial cells. A positive change from Baseline indicates improvement. Final assessment is defined as the last available postbaseline assessment.
Change From Baseline in the Percentage of Vaginal Parabasal Cells to Final AssessmentBaseline (Day 0) to final assessment (Up to Week 12)Vaginal wall smears were collected from each participant. The smears were sent to the central laboratory for analysis to determine the percentage of parabasal cells. A negative change from Baseline indicates improvement. Final assessment is defined as the last available postbaseline assessment.

Change From Baseline in Participant's Self-Assessment of Symptom of Vulvovaginal Atrophy (VVA): Dyspareunia (Pain Associated With Sexual Activity) to Final Assessment

Participant's self-assessment of the symptom of VVA (dyspareunia) was scored on a 4-point scale where: 0=none, 1=mild, 2=moderate or 3=severe. Higher score indicates the most bothersome symptoms. A negative change from Baseline indicates improvement. Final Assessment is defined as the last available post-baseline assessment for the given efficacy endpoint.

Time frame: Baseline (Day 0) to final assessment (Up to Week 12)

Population: Modified Intent-to-treat (mITT) Population included participants in the Safety population who had at least 1 postbaseline primary efficacy assessment and met all of the following inclusion criteria: ≤5% superficial cells on a vaginal wall smear, a vaginal pH \>5.0, and the participants most bothersome symptom of VVA was dyspareunia with moderate to severe intensity. Number analyzed is the number of participants with available data at the given timepoint.

Investigator's assessment of vaginal health was performed by visual inspection of the vagina with respect to the signs of VVA: atrophy, pallor, vaginal dryness, friability, and petechiae each graded on a 4-point scale where: 0=none, 1=mild, 2=moderate or 3=severe. Higher scores are worse. A negative change from Baseline indicates improvement. Final assessment is defined as the last available postbaseline assessment.

Time frame: Baseline (Day 0) to Week 12 and Final assessment (Up to Week 12)

Population: mITT Population included participants in the Safety population who had at least 1 postbaseline primary efficacy assessment and met all of the following inclusion criteria: ≤5% superficial cells on a vaginal wall smear, a vaginal pH \>5.0, and the participants most bothersome symptom of VVA was dyspareunia with moderate to severe intensity. Number analyzed is the number of participants with available data at the given timepoint.

Change From Baseline in Vaginal pH to Week 12

Vaginal pH was obtained at baseline and final visit of the study. The pH was a numeric value from 0 to 14 expressing the acidity or alkalinity of the vaginal fluids where 7 was neutral, lower values were more acidic (values of 0-6) and higher values more alkaline (values of 8-14). A negative change from Baseline indicates improvement.
