- Be on a reliable birth control method (ie, stable systemic hormonal contraception for the whole duration of the study and 30 days after study completion [for at least 3 months prior to study], IUD, barrier method) or not engaging in heterosexual intercourse. Birth control method used by subject at screening is not to be changed during the course of the study;
- Have a normal ENT examination;

- Have other concurrent female sexual dysfunction disorders as defined by DSM-IV criteria, eg, Sexual Aversion Disorder, Substance-Induced sexual dysfunction, dyspareunia (not caused by inadequate foreplay stimulation or alleviated by lubricants), vaginismus, Gender Identity Disorder, paraphilia, or sexual dysfunction due to a general medical condition;
- Be experiencing relational discord;
- Have a history of dementia or other neurodegenerative diseases, organic brain disease, stroke, transient ischemic attacks, brain surgery, significant brain trauma, multiple sclerosis, spinal cord injury, peripheral neuropathy, and epilepsy (febrile seizures limited to childhood do not exclude patients);
- Be currently receiving treatment with selective norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors (SNRIs) and selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) and/or medications that interfere with the metabolism of testosterone (eg, anastrozole, clomiphene, testolactone, ketoconazole, spironolactone, histamine 2 [H2 receptor blockers, etc.]);
- Have a history of, or current evidence of, abuse of alcohol or any drug substance, licit or illicit, or be a regular drinker of more than 3 units of alcohol daily (1 unit = 300 mL beer, 1 glass wine, 1 measure spirit);
- Have a history of cancer other than nonmelanotic skin cancer;
- Have a history of deep venous thrombosis or coagulation disorders;
- Have a significant medical condition (eg, hepatic, renal cardiovascular, endocrine including diabetes mellitus). Subjects with treated hypertension, treated hyperlipidemia, or treated thyroid disease will not be excluded provided they have been on stable therapy for at least 3 months;
- Had any major surgical procedure within the past 6 months including hysterectomy, hysterectomy with bilateral salpingo oophorectomy, or vaginal incontinence surgery
- Are receiving treatment with systemic glucocorticosteroids, sex steroid hormones such as androgens (eg, dehydroepiandrosterone [DHEA]) or gestagens (eg, anabolic steroids) and using any post menopausal hormone therapy;
- Have a history of severe or multiple drug allergies, severe adverse drug reaction or drug-related leucopenia;
- Have a history of nasal disorders (eg, atrophic rhinitis, polyposis, abuse of nasal decongestants, clinically relevant nasal septum deviation, recurrent epistaxis), sinus disease or nasal surgery and/or seasonal or perennial allergic rhinitis in the active phase;
- Be using any form of chronic intranasal medication delivery, specifically nasal corticosteroids or decongestants;
- Have a diagnosis of sleep apnea and be using a continuous positive airway pressure/automatic positive airway device;
- Have a history of diagnosed hirsutism, alopecia or clinically significant acne;

- For pre-menopausal women, have SHBG value <18 86 nmol/L; For post-menopausal women, have SHBG value >160 nmol/L
- Have any medical or psychiatric condition, physical examination finding, or laboratory result which, in the opinion of the principal investigator, would put the subject at additional medical risk or make her unlikely to be able to comply with study requirements; or
- Have received any drug as part of a research study within 30 days prior to the Screening Visit.

Secondary Outcome Measures
Outcome Measure |
Measure Description |
Time Frame |
---|---|---|
Change in Sexual Event Satisfaction Over a 28-day Period (Day 57 to Day 84) Compared to Baseline (Day -28 to Day 0)
Time Frame: Baseline (Day -28 to Day 0) and End of Study (Day 57 to 84)
|
as measured by Monash Women's Health Program Female Sexual Satisfaction Questionnaire (MONASH WHP FSSQ) question 11. MONASH WHP FSSQ question 11 asks participants to comment on how satisfying they found the sex to be from "Not at all" to "Very much so". The lowest score is 1 and the highest is 9. All scores for each 28-day period were averaged. Change from baseline was obtained by subtracting baseline 28-day average from the 28-day period at the end of the study (Day 57 to 84). |
Baseline (Day -28 to Day 0) and End of Study (Day 57 to 84)
|
Change in Distress Due to Female Orgasmic Disorder From Day 0 Baseline to Day 84
Time Frame: Day 0 and Day 84
|
as measured by Female Sexual Distress Scale (FSDS-DAO) Question #15 on Day 0 and 84, respectively.
Question #15 evaluates the level of distress related to problems with orgasm.
It is rated on a 5-point Likert scale (from 0 to 4, i.e. never [0], rarely [1], occasionally [2], frequently [3], or always [4]).
Higher scores indicate more distress.
|
Day 0 and Day 84
|
Change in Global Sexual Functioning From Day 0 to Day 84
Time Frame: Day 0 and Day 84
|
as measured by Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI) on Day 0 and 84, respectively.
The FSFI, a 19-item questionnaire, has been developed as a brief, multidimensional self-report instrument for assessing the key dimensions of sexual frustration in women.
The questionnaire provides scores on 6 domains of sexual function (desire, arousal, lubrication, orgasm, satisfaction, and pain) as well as a total score.
Fifteen items are rated on a 6-point Likert scale (from 0 to 5) and 4 items on a 5-point Likert scale (from 1 to 5).
The scores are added and converted using a conversion factor so that the maximum score for each domain is 6.
The overall FSFI score can range from 2 to 36.
Higher scores indicate better or higher sexual function.
