PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline to End of Treatment (Week 12)

Population: Participants analyzed consisted of subjects from the intent-to-treat (ITT) cohort, \[all subjects who were exposed to investigational product therapy,provided baseline "sleep time" hot flash information and "sleep time" hot flash data for at least one post-baseline visit\]. Not all study subjects completed all data elements in their study diaries.

Change= Week 12 weekly average awakening score - Baseline weekly average awakening score for the intent-to-treat cohort

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline to End of Treatment (Week 12)

Population: Participants analyzed consisted of subjects from the ITT cohort, defined as all subjects who were exposed to investigational product therapy and who provided baseline "sleep time" hot flash information and "sleep time" hot flash data for at least one post-baseline visit. Not all study subjects completed all data elements in their study diaries.

Change= Week 12 weekly average sleep quality score - Baseline weekly average sleep quality score for the intent-to-treat cohort. The sleep quality was derived from the subject self-assessment of sleep quality graded on a three-point scale (3=excellent, 2=good, 1=poor sleep quality)

Population: Participants analyzed consisted of subjects from the ITT cohort, defined as all subjects who were exposed to investigational product therapy and who provided baseline "sleep time" hot flash information and "sleep time" hot flash data for at least one post-baseline visit. Not all study subjects completed all data elements in their study diaries.

Change= Week 12 score - Baseline Score. Daytime sleepiness was derived from the subject self-assessment how they felt at a particular time of day. Subjects rated daytime sleepiness on the 7 point Stanford Sleepiness Scale (1=most alert to 7=sleepiest).
