Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Change in Average Daily Frequency of Moderate to Severe VMSBaseline and 52 WeeksSubjects were asked to record frequency and severity of VMS in an electronic diary. Severity levels are defined as follows. Mild : Sensation of heat without sweating Moderate : Sensation of heat with sweating, able to continue activity Severe : Sensation of heat with sweating, causing cessation of activity
Change in Average Daily Severity Score of Mild to Severe VMSBaseline and 52 WeeksBaseline VMS severity score : (1xFmi + 2xFmo + 3xFse)/(Fmi + Fmo + Fse) VMS severity score for a specific week during the open label treatment period :(1xFmi+2xFmo+3xFse)/(Fmi+Fmo+Fse) Fmi, Fmo, and Fse are the daily frequencies of mild, moderate, and severe VMS respectively. The severity score of VMS ranged from 0 (lowest severity) to 3 (highest severity).
