Filter by:The main purpose of this study is to compare the effects of treatment of two different formulations of Angeliq® and Prempro on blood pressure in post-menopausal women with prehypertension.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of 20 mg of bazedoxifene in comparison to placebo on bone mineral density after 6 months of therapy in a population of postmenopausal Asian women.
This study will compare the bioequivalence of two new investigational combination formulations of Premarin and medroxyprogesterone acetate (MPA) with a currently marketed formulation of Premarin and medroxyprogesterone, Prempro™. Prempro is indicated for use after menopause in women with a uterus to reduce moderate to severe hot flashes; to treat moderate to severe dryness, itching, and burning, in and around the vagina; and to help reduce your chances of getting osteoporosis (thin weak bones). The purpose of this study is to determine if these new formulations of Premarin and MPA provide the same levels of estrogen and MPA in the blood as Prempro in healthy postmenopausal women.
The purpose of this study is to determine bioequivalence and bioavailability of four different Premarin/MPA test formulations versus the current formulation for Prempro.
Calcitonin has been used for many years for treating osteoporosis in postmenopausal women. Recent data from the 2 years placebo-controlled QUEST study have shown a preservation of microarchitecture as measured by high resolution MRI in postmenopausal women with prevalent vertebral fractures at baseline.This pilot study should provide additional new insights in the mode of action of nasal calcitonin, on structural changes as measured by high resolution peripheral CT, and on the comparison between weight bearing and non weight bearing bones in postmenopausal women.
This study involves the experimental drug bazedoxifene acetate/conjugated estrogens (also called BZA/CE). This drug is not approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). About 24 subjects will take part in this study. Each subject's participation in this study will last for about 10 weeks. During this study, each subject will receive 3 different types of BZA/CE tablets plus an oral solution containing only BZA. The purpose of this study is to learn how the tablet dosage forms dissolve and are absorbed by the body compared to the BZA oral solution. In addition, information will also be learned about the safety and tolerability of these dosage forms given to healthy postmenopausal women.
The postmenopausal state is associated with an increase risk for heart disease. Much of this increase in risk may be due to the loss of estrogen (the main female hormone) and the effect of this loss on lipids (blood fats). This loss of estrogen is often treated by estrogen replacement therapy. Estrogen replacement therapy seems to have a beneficial effect on lipid levels. The purpose of this research study is to understand 1) how menopause affects lipids and 2) how hormone replacement therapy effects the lipid metabolism of postmenopausal women.
The aim of this study is to explore the effects of hormone replacement therapy with EV/DNG on abdominal fat distribution measured by magnetic resonance imaging.
Tibolone, a tissue-selective compound with a combination of estrogenic, progestogenic and androgenic properties, is used as an alternative for estrogen or estrogen plus progesterone hormone therapy for the treatment of symptoms associated with menopause and osteoporosis. The current study compares endometrial histology, biochemistry (hormone levels) and gene-expression profiles after short-term (21-days) treatment with tibolone, to the findings after treatment with estradiol-only (E2) and E2+Medroxyprogesterone Acetate (MPA) in healthy postmenopausal women undergoing hysterectomy for endometrial prolaps. Since short-term tibolone use results in increased spotting and bleeding but long-term treatment with tibolone has been shown to lead to an atrophic endometrium our hypothesis is that tibolone first displays a more estrogenic mode of action, which over time, is counterbalanced by tibolone's progestagenic properties
To demonstrate efficacy of continuous combined 0.5 mg estradiol and 2.5 mg dydrogesterone versus placebo in the treatment of vasomotor symptoms after a treatment period of 3 months and to investigate the bleeding pattern over a treatment period of one year
