FP-101 for the Treatment of Hot Flashes in Postmenopausal Women

October 31, 2018 updated by: Fervent Pharmaceuticals

A Phase 2, Randomized, Double-blind, Placebo Controlled, Single Dose-level, Proof-of-concept Study Evaluating FP-101 for the Treatment of Vasomotor Symptoms in Postmenopausal Women

The purpose of the study is to determine the efficacy of FP-101 versus placebo for the treatment of hot flashes in postmenopausal women.

Study Overview

Status

Status

Indicates the current recruitment status or the expanded access status.
Completed

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Detailed Description

Vasomotor symptoms, commonly known as hot flashes or hot flushes, are the most common symptoms experienced by women who are perimenopausal or postmenopausal. FP-101 is postulated to mediate one of the mechanisms thought to drive hot flashes in post-menopausal women. This study will evaluate the efficacy and safety of FP-101 for the treatment of hot flashes in post-menopausal women.

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

40 years and older (ADULT, OLDER_ADULT)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Genders Eligible for Study

Female

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

Subjects may be enrolled in the main study only if they meet all of the following criteria:

  • Subject must be a female >40 years of age at screening.
  • Subject must have reported more than 7 to 8 moderate-to-severe hot flashes per day or 50 to 60 hot flashes per week for at least 30 days prior to the Screening Visit of sufficient severity to cause desire for therapeutic intervention.

  • Subject must meet 1 of the following criteria:

    • Spontaneous amenorrhea for at least 12 consecutive months.
    • Amenorrhea for at least 6 months and meet the biochemical criteria for menopause (FSH ≥40 mIU/mL).
    • Bilateral oophorectomy or salpingo-oophorectomy ≥6 weeks prior to enrollment with or without hysterectomy.
  • A subject who is not at least 2 years postmenopausal must use adequate nonhormonal contraception (eg, barrier methods such as an intrauterine device, diaphragm, cervical cap, or condom) during study participation.
  • Subject must be willing and able to be compliant with the protocol and provide a voluntary written informed consent.

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Subject has a history of hypersensitivity or adverse reaction to FP-101 or its excipients
  • Subject is a known non-responder to previous SSRI or SNRI treatment for VMS
  • Subject has a history of self-injurious behavior.
  • Subject has a lifetime history of a clinical diagnosis of major depression or treatment for major depressive disorder.
  • Subject has a history of clinical diagnosis of borderline personality disorder.
  • Subject has a history of, or is currently presenting with, substance use disorder as defined by the 5th Edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual (DSM-5).
  • Subject has a history of psychiatric disorders, including a lifetime history of major depressive disorder, bipolar disorder, panic disorder, generalized anxiety, psychotic disorders, suicidality or suicidal ideation, or post-traumatic stress disorder.
  • Subject has a history of hypertension and is not on a stable dose of antihypertensive medications for at least 30 days prior to screening.
  • Subject is currently taking MAOIs, thioridazine, or pimozide.
  • Subject is currently taking tamoxifen, other selective estrogen receptor modulators, or other hormone deprivation therapy.
  • Subject exhibits evidence of impaired liver function upon entry into the study (values ≥2 times the upper limit of normal for aspartate transaminase and/or alanine transaminase, or serum bilirubin ≥1.3 mg/dL) or, in the Investigator's opinion, exhibits liver function impairment to the extent that the subject should not participate in the study.
  • Subject has clinically unstable cardiac disease, including unstable atrial fibrillation, symptomatic bradycardia, unstable congestive heart failure, or active myocardial ischemia.
  • Subject exhibits evidence of impaired kidney function upon entry into the study (i.e., serum creatinine >1.5 mg/dL) or known renal stricture.
  • Subject has biliary tract disease, adrenal cortical insufficiency, or any other medical condition that, in the Investigator's opinion, is inadequately treated and precludes entry into the study.

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
