Vaginal pH \> 5.0 4. Moderate to severe symptom of vaginal pain associated with sexual activity considered the most bothersome vaginal symptom by the subject at screening visit 1A. 5. Moderate to severe symptom of vaginal pain associated with sexual activity at screening visit 1B. 6. Onset of moderate to severe dyspareunia in the postmenopausal years. 7. Subjects should be sexually active (i.e. have sexual activity with vaginal penetration within approximately 1 month of screening visit 1A). 8. Subjects should anticipate having sexual activity (with vaginal penetration) during the conduct of the trial. 9. For subjects with an intact uterus: Subjects must have an acceptable result from an evaluable screening endometrial biopsy. 10.

Secondary Efficacy Endpoints - Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI) Domain Score - Pain
Change from Baseline to Week 12 in FSFI Domain Score (Pain) as compared to placebo The FSFI is a brief, multidimensional questionnaire for assessing sexual function in women (Rosen et al., 2000). The questionnaire consists of 19 items that assess sexual function over the past 4 weeks and yield domain scores in six areas: sexual desire, arousal, lubrication, orgasm, satisfaction, and pain. The FSFI questionnaire has a minimum total score of 2.0, a maximum score of 36.0 points and was administered at Baseline and Week 12.
Time frame: Baseline and Week 12
Population: For the statistical test utilized (MMRM), the number of subjects analyzed varied based on if they had both Baseline and Week 12 data so it would not necessarily match the overall number of subjects in the MITT Population at Baseline.
