Trial Outcomes & Findings for Effect of KYG0395 on Primary Dysmenorrhea (NCT NCT01588236)

NCT ID: NCT01588236

Last Updated: 2025-10-01

Results Overview

VAS is represented by a straight line with extreme limits: from "no pain" and an associated image of a happy face at the left endpoint to "unbearable pain" and an associated image of an unhappy face at the right endpoint. The left endpoint is the minimum pain score of zero while the right endpoint is the maximum pain score of 100. The dysmenorrheic pain (lower abdominal cramping pain) that usually occurs just before and/or during menstruation was measured in this study using a The Visual Analogue Scale (VAS). Pain was assessed during 9 menstrual cycles from the beginning of the screening to the end of follow-up.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline and end of treatment (6 months)

Population: Full analysis set: all subjects who received at least one treatment dose and had one post-baseline assessment

VAS is represented by a straight line with extreme limits: from "no pain" and an associated image of a happy face at the left endpoint to "unbearable pain" and an associated image of an unhappy face at the right endpoint. The left endpoint is the minimum pain score of zero while the right endpoint is the maximum pain score of 100. The dysmenorrheic pain (lower abdominal cramping pain) that usually occurs just before and/or during menstruation was measured in this study using a The Visual Analogue Scale (VAS). Pain was assessed during 9 menstrual cycles from the beginning of the screening to the end of follow-up.

Population: Full analysis set

The subject's evaluation of overall satisfaction was recorded in the electronic subject diary at the end of the 3 treatment cycles and at the end of the 3-cycle follow-up period (at the end of the day before the subject goes to bed) using the numeric rating scale provided below: 0=None, Not satisfied with the treatment outcome; 1. Mild, Mildly satisfied with the treatment outcome; 2. Most, Mostly satisfied with the treatment outcome; 3. Complete, Completely satisfied with the treatment outcome.
