Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of this study is to determine whether NPC-01 is effective in the treatment of dysmenorrhea.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The main objective of this study is to confirm the effectiveness and safety profile of NPC-01 in comparison with placebo in the treatment of dysmenorrhea (primary and secondary dysmenorrhea).

Additionally we also investigate the differences of effectiveness of NPC-01 in comparison with IKH-01 in the treatment of secondary dysmenorrhea as a reference, because IKH-01 is already marketed at them.

To achieve these, closed testing procedure is used in this study. After confirming statistical differences between NPC-01 and Placebo in the total dysmenorrhea, stratified analysis is carried out for primary dysmenorrhea (NPC-01, Placebo), and secondary dysmenorrhea (NPC-01, IKH-01 and Placebo).
