Filter by:The purpose of this protocol is to determine whether pain with sexual intercourse can be reduced in menopausal, breast cancer survivors and to evaluate the effectiveness of a non-hormonal therapy (Lidocaine Liquid) vs. a placebo liquid in reducing pain. The investigators hypothesize that the pain arises in the vulvar vestibule. The investigators predict that the localized use of lidocaine will be more efficacious than use of placebo liquid.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether consuming additional protein during calorie restriction induced weight loss has beneficial or harmful effects on multi-organ (liver, muscle, adipose tissue) insulin sensitivity, colonocyte proliferation rates, the gut microbiome, muscle mass and function, and bone mineral density in obese, postmenopausal women.
This study is conducted in Europe. The aim of this study is to investigate the self-reported impact of Vagifem® (estradiol) treatment on urogenital discomfort in women with atrophic vaginitis due to oestrogen deficiency.
This study is conducted in Europe. The aim of this study is to verify the therapeutic effects of low-dose hormone replacement therapy (HRT) in female patients over adequately long time period in normal clinical practice conditions in the Czech Republic.
This trial is conducted in Europe. The aim of this trial is to to evaluate the extent of systemic absorption of estradiol during treatment with two different doses of estradiol in postmenopausal women with atrophic vaginitis.
This trial is conducted in Europe. The aim of this trial is to determine the extent of bioavailability of two low dose estradiol/norethisterone acetate (NETA) preparations with a marketed estradiol/norethisterone acetate (NETA) preparation.
The purpose of this study is to assess the bioequivalence and food effect for a new Premarin formulation compared with a Premarin reference tablet in Japanese healthy postmenopausal women.
The primary objective of this study is to determine the efficacy of both low-dose oral (by mouth) 17-ß-estradiol and the non-hormonal drug venlafaxine XR compared to placebo in reducing hot flashes. Included in this objective is the intention to compare venlafaxine XR to estradiol therapy, to provide evidence of the relative efficacy of venlafaxine to what is currently considered the most established but also a controversial therapy. 17-ß-estradiol is a type of estrogen. Venlafaxine XR is the extended release (XR) version of venlafaxine. Venlafaxine XR is an serotonin-norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor (SNRI). A placebo is a substance containing no medication.
Study Background and Objectives: In the U.S. the majority of heart disease deaths are in women, not men. Much of the gender disparity in CVD rates relate to the burden of CV risk in women after the menopause. Depression has been associated with an increased risk for CVD morbidity and mortality. Even histories of recurrent depression in euthymic individuals are associated with elevated CV risk. Understanding the depression-CVD link may have particular relevance for women since women experience depression at a rate twice that of men. Substantial convergent evidence indicates that ovarian failure (estrogen deprivation) is one likely mechanism contributing to both CVD and depression in women. The perimenopause, a time associated with a two-fold increase in rates of depression, may provide an ideal opportunity for studying the pathophysiology of CV risk and depression in women. The primary objective of this study is to examine the prophylactic role of estradiol in the development of depressive symptoms and the progression of cardiovascular risk in perimenopausal women with or without histories of depression. The investigators predict that women susceptible to depression will be particularly vulnerable to the acceleration of CVD in the context of the perimenopause and, consequently, will show differentially greater benefit of estradiol treatment during the menopause transition for both indices of CV risk (e.g. inflammation, endothelial function, stress reactivity), as well as depressive symptoms.
Phase I pharmacokinetic study Main objective: To determine plasmatic profiles and pharmacokinetic parameters of estradiol and progesterone on each of the formulations studied, after multiple-dose administration Study design: Randomized, controlled, open-label, parallel, pharmacokinetic study Sites: 1 Subjects: 30 postmenopausal women
