Trial Outcomes & Findings for Topical DHEA Against Vaginal Atrophy (NCT NCT01846442)

NCT ID: NCT01846442

Last Updated: 2017-08-29

Results Overview

The percentage of parabasal cells was determined from the vaginal smears collected during the study. A 100-cell count was performed by a central laboratory to classify cells as parabasal (P) (including basal), intermediate (I), and superficial (S) squamous cell types. Data obtained at Baseline and Week 12 as well as the change from Baseline to Week 12 are presented.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline and Week 12

Population: The analysis was performed on a subgroup of the ITT Population (defined as all treated subjects with a baseline and at least one post-baseline efficacy assessment) who had self-identified moderate/severe pain at intercourse (Dyspareunia) as their Most Bothersome Symptom of VVA and had ≤ 5% of Superficial Cells and a vaginal pH \> 5 on Day 1.

The percentage of parabasal cells was determined from the vaginal smears collected during the study. A 100-cell count was performed by a central laboratory to classify cells as parabasal (P) (including basal), intermediate (I), and superficial (S) squamous cell types. Data obtained at Baseline and Week 12 as well as the change from Baseline to Week 12 are presented.

A pH strip was applied directly to the lateral wall of the vagina using forceps. The change in color of the pH indicator strip was compared to the color chart for pH evaluation.
