Study Endpoints

Primary Endpoints

Percent Change from Randomization in Hot Flushes (HF) Score at Week 4 of Treatment
Randomization (Month 6) and Week 4 of treatment (Month 7)

The change is calculated as follows: \[(HF score at Week 4 of treatment - HF score at randomization)/HF score at randomization\]\*100. The calculation of the HF score will be done as follows: a coefficient is allocated to each severity grade, it varies from 1 to 4 (1: slight; 2: moderate; 3: severe; 4: very severe), and the calculation of the daily score is equal to the sum of the daily instances of hot flushes multiplied by their severity coefficient. The score calculated at randomization and Week 4 of treatment will be the average of the scores recorded in the preceding week. The score range will depend upon the frequency of hot flushes, and higher score signifies higher severity of hot flushes.

Secondary Endpoints

Percent Change from Randomization in HF Frequency at Weeks 4, 8 of Treatment and Last Available Value
Randomization (Month 6), Weeks 4 and 8 of treatment (Months 7 and 8, respectively) and last available value (Month 7 or 8)
Percentage of Participants With More Than 50 percent (%) Decrease in HF Score
