Pharmacokinetic Assessment of the Absorption of Estradiol in Postmenopausal Women With Atrophic Vaginitis

February 6, 2017 updated by: Novo Nordisk A/S

A Pharmacokinetic Randomized Study With a Parallel Group Design to Assess the Extent of Systemic Absorption of Estradiol During Treatment With a 10 µg or 25 µg Estradiol Vaginal Tablet Administered Once Daily for 2 Weeks Followed by 10 Weeks of Twice-Weekly Maintenance Therapy in Postmenopausal Women With Atrophic Vaginitis

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.
