Vasomotor Symptoms as a Sex Hormone-dependent Disorder in Women
Conditions
Brief summary
This study is being done to compare two forms of the medicine elinzanetant, which is used to help manage hot flush symptoms related to changes in female hormones. The researchers want to find out whether a new tablet form of elinzanetant is absorbed and processed by the body of healthy women in a similar way than an existing capsule form. About 100 healthy women aged 18 to 65 will take part in this study. Each participant will receive both forms of the medicine at different times during the study. They will take the medicine once daily for several days under controlled conditions at a study center, and blood samples will be collected to measure how the body absorbs and handles the drug. The study is designed so that each participant can be compared to herself, helping researchers clearly understand any differences between the two formulations.
Interventions
Elinzanetant treatment A is administered orally once daily.
Elinzanetant treatment B is administered orally once daily.

| Maximum Observed Plasma Concentration After Multiple Dosing (Cmax,md) | On Day 11 of each 12-day treatment period (study intervention administered on Days 1-10) | elinzanetant administered in the evening 3 hours after a light dinner. |
| Minimum Observed Plasma Concentration During Dosing Interval After Multiple Dosing (Cmin,md) | On Day 11 of each 12-day treatment period (study intervention administered on Days 1-10) | elinzanetant administered in the evening 3 hours after a light dinner. |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
