Study Endpoints

Primary Endpoints

Primary Endpoint (Vaginal Cytology + Vaginal pH) Equivalence
Study Day 8

Treatment comparison of the proportion of patients in the Per Protocol (PP) population who received either Estradiol Vaginal Cream or Estrace® that were identified as responders at the end of the treatment period on Study Day 8. A responder was defined as a patient with at least a 25% reduction from baseline in the sum of % basal/parabasal + % intermediate cells on vaginal cytology AND vaginal pH ≤ 5.0 with a change from baseline vaginal pH of at least 0.5.

Frequently asked questions about Estradiol Vaginal, 0.01%

What is Estradiol Vaginal, 0.01% used for?

Estradiol Vaginal, 0.01% is used to treat atrophic vaginitis, a condition of vaginal dryness and thinning in postmenopausal women. It is a small molecule estrogen therapy applied vaginally. The Phase 3 program enrolled postmenopausal females aged 40 years and older with atrophic vaginitis.

What does Estradiol Vaginal, 0.01% target?

Estradiol Vaginal, 0.01% targets ESR1, the estrogen receptor alpha, and acts as an agonist. Binding to ESR1 activates estrogen receptor signaling in vaginal tissue. This is the mechanism underlying its use in atrophic vaginitis, where estrogen deficiency causes vaginal atrophy.

Who makes Estradiol Vaginal, 0.01%?

Estradiol Vaginal, 0.01% is developed by Viatris Inc., which trades under the ticker VTRS. Viatris is the sponsor of the clinical development program for this estradiol vaginal cream product.

Estradiol Vaginal, 0.01% is in Phase 3 development. It is an investigational product and is not approved. The Phase 3 trial has been completed, and no active trials are currently listed for this asset.

What clinical trials is Estradiol Vaginal, 0.01% in?

Estradiol Vaginal, 0.01% was studied in the completed Phase 3 trial NCT02195986, titled A Comparison of Estradiol Vaginal Cream to Estrace Cream in 350 Postmenopausal Females With Atrophic Vaginitis. The trial enrolled 366 participants in the United States, was randomized, double blind, and placebo controlled.

Is Estradiol Vaginal, 0.01% the same as Estradiol Vaginal Cream, 0.01%?
