Detailed Description
This is a 12-week, multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study. Eligible subjects will be stratified by natural or surgical menopause and randomized (1:1) to receive 3 single injections, 28-days apart, of either G-CSF or placebo.
This study will consist of a 14-21 day screening period. Subjects enrolled will be given three single 1.0 mL subcutaneous (SC) injections (repeated 28-days apart), in the outer area of either upper arm, of either G-CSF or placebo (sterile physiological saline) at Baseline, Day 28 and Day 56. Subjects will be followed for 12 weeks and will complete hot flash diary entries every day for the duration of treatment. Safety will be assessed by adverse events, clinical laboratory tests (clinical chemistry and complete blood count with differential) and vital signs. A follow-up phone call will occur 60 days after the last dose of study drug.
Eligibility will be assessed via physical examination, clinical laboratory testing, vital signs.
Subjects will receive a diary in which to record daily hot flashes symptoms during the duration of the screening period. Subjects must have at least 14 days of hot flash recordings to participate in the study. The diary will be reviewed by study site staff on Baseline (Day 0) to confirm study eligibility.
During the treatment period, subjects will return to the study site at Days 1, 21, 28, 29, 49, 56, 57, and 84 for assessments.
The follow-up phone call will occur approximately 60 days following the last dose of study drug.

Time Frame: From first dose date up to 30 days after last dose (up to 16 weeks)
|
An adverse event (AE) is any untoward medical occurrence, including the exacerbation of a pre-existing condition, in a subject or clinical investigation subject administered a pharmaceutical product.
This does not necessarily have a causal relationship with this treatment.
A serious adverse event (SAE) is any experience that suggests a significant hazard, contraindication, side effect, or precaution.
This includes any experience that results in death; is acutely life-threatening; requires inpatient hospitalization or prolongs the existing hospitalization; results in persistent or significant incapacity or substantial disruption of ability to conduct normal life functions; is a congenital anomaly/birth defect; or requires medical or surgical intervention to prevent one of the outcomes listed above.

Net Change in MENQOL VMS Score
Time Frame: Baseline and week 12
|
Menopause-specific Quality of Life (MENQOL) Questionnaire.
The MENQOL is self-administered and consists of a total of 29 items in a Likert-scale format.
Each item assesses the impact of one of four domains of menopausal symptoms, as experienced over the last month: vasomotor (items 1-3), psychosocial (items 4-10), physical (items 11-26), and sexual (items 27-29).
MENQOL VMS refers to the answers to items 1-3 where 6 = most bothersome and 0 = least bothersome).
(Maximum bothersomeness = 18; No bothersomeness = 0)

Net Change in HFRDIS Score
Time Frame: Baseline and week 12

The Hot Flash Related Daily Interference Scale (HFRDIS) measures (as a score of 0 to 10) the effect of hot flashes on overall quality of life and on nine specific activities: work, social activities, leisure activities, sleep, mood, concentration, relations with others, sexuality, and enjoyment of life.
The 10 answers are added up to get a total score.
HFRDIS Score (Maximum Bothersomness = 100; No Bothersomeness = 0).
The higher the score, the more bothersome the symptoms.

The Insomnia Severity Index has seven questions.
For each question, most bothersome = 4; not bothersome = 0.
The seven answers are added up to get a total score.

Net Change in FSS Score at 12 Weeks
Time Frame: Baseline and week 12
|
Fatigue Severity Scale (FSS) of Sleep Disorders.
The Fatigue Severity Scale (FSS) is a method of evaluating the impact of fatigue.
The FSS is a short questionnaire (10 questions) that requires the subject to rate level of fatigue.
The FSS questionnaire contains nine statements that rate the severity of fatigue symptoms.
Each statement is read and the corresponding number from 1 to 7 is circled.
A low value (e.g., 1) indicates strong disagreement with the statement, whereas a high value (e.g., 7) indicates strong agreement.
(Maximum bother = 70; No bother = 0)
