Clinical Trial Summary

This is a prospective, multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, dose-de-escalation study whose purpose is to establish the lowest efficacious dose. The first 40 subjects will be randomized 1:1:1:1 to either 500 mcg, 50 mcg, 10 mcg, or placebo. After four weeks of dosing with 500 mcg, vaginal pH, vaginal maturation index, and subject's most bothersome moderate to severe symptom will be assessed; the changes observed will be used as the benchmark for efficacy throughout the remainder of the study and select the next dose-level to be investigated. Subjects will be enrolled in small cohorts at various doses until the lowest effective dose is identified. Then, 1 to 2 doses and a placebo group will be expanded to enroll 70 subjects per treatment group.


Clinical Trial Description

For each dose, an initial efficacy determination will be made based on changes in vaginal pH, vaginal maturation index, and patient's most bothersome moderate to severe symptom after four weeks of dosing. Depending on the initial efficacy results, one of the following dosing schemes may occur: - If 50 mcg is determined to be inefficacious, 10 additional subjects will be enrolled at 50 mcg. If 50 mcg is now determined to be efficacious, the dosing cohort will be expanded to 70 subjects at 50 mcg. If 50mcg is determined to be inefficacious, no groups will be expanded to 70 subjects. - If 10 mcg is determined to be efficacious, an additional 10 subjects will be enrolled to 2.5 mcg. If 2.5 mcg is determined to be efficacious, 10 subjects will be enrolled to 0.25 mcg. If 0.25 mcg is efficacious, 0.25 mcg and 0.5 mcg will be enrolled to a total of 70 subjects per dose. If 0.25 mcg is determined to be inefficacious, 10 subjects will be enrolled to 0.5 mcg. If 0.5 mcg is determined to be efficacious, 0.5 mcg and 2.5 mcg will be enrolled to 70 subjects per dose. If 0.5 mcg is determined to be inefficacious, 2.5 mcg and 5 mcg will be enrolled to 70 subjects per dose. If 2.5 mcg is determined to be inefficacious, 10 subjects will be enrolled to 5 mcg. If 5 mcg is determined to be efficacious, 5 mcg and 10 mcg will be enrolled to 70 subjects per dose. If 5 mcg is determined to be inefficacious, 10 mcg and 12.5 mcg will be enrolled to 70 subjects per dose. - If 10 mcg is determined to be inefficacious, 10 subjects will be enrolled to 25 mcg. If 25 mcg is determined to be efficacious, 10 subjects will be enrolled to 12.5 mcg. If 12.5 mcg is determined to be efficacious, 12.5 mcg and 25 mcg will be enrolled to 70 subjects per dose. If 12.5 mcg is determined to be inefficacious, 25 mcg and 50 mcg will be enrolled to 70 subjects per dose. If 25 mcg is inefficacious, 50 mcg will be expanded to 70 subjects. Subjects will be randomized 1:1:1 for each of the two doses selected and placebo for expansion to 70 subjects. For all doses evaluated, the mean change from baseline in vaginal maturation index and vaginal pH and the mean change from baseline in the most bothersome symptom will be assessed at the end of 12 weeks. Evaluation After 4 weeks of Dosing After four weeks of dosing, each dose will be assessed for its efficaciousness in altering the vaginal maturation index, the vaginal pH, and the most bothersome moderate to severe symptom. The response identified in the subjects dosed in the 500 mcg cohort relative to placebo at four weeks will serve as the effect of the active control to assess the efficaciousness of the other dose levels. After reviewing these results, the sponsor will determine the assessment of subsequent dose levels. ;
