    Clinical Trial Results

    The FDA approval of Brisdelle was based on two phase III studies in 1174 postmenopausal women with a minimum of 7-8 moderate to severe vasomotor symptoms per day at baseline for 30 days prior to receiving study drug. Brisdelle was administered at a dose of 7.5 mg once daily at bedtime. Study 1 was a 12-week, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial with a total of 606 postmenopausal women. Study 2 was a 24-week, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial with a total of 568 postmenopausal women. The co-primary efficacy endpoints for both studies were the reduction from baseline in VMS frequency and severity at Weeks 4 and 12. Data from Study 1 showed a statistically significant reduction from baseline in the frequency of moderate to severe vasomotor symptoms at Week 4 and Week 12 and a statistically significant reduction in the severity of moderate to severe VMS at Week 4 for Brisdelle compared to placebo. Data from Study 2 showed a statistically significant reduction from baseline in the frequency and severity of moderate to severe vasomotor symptoms at Week 4 and Week 12 for Brisdelle compared to placebo.
