Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Change From Baseline in Participant's Self-Assessment of Severity of Vaginal Dryness to Week 12/Final VisitBaseline (Day 0) to Week 12/Final Visit

The severity of vaginal dryness was assessed and recorded on a questionnaire by the participants using the following 4 point scale where, 0=None (The symptom is not present), 1=Mild (The symptom is present but may be intermittent; does not interfere with participants activities or lifestyle), 2=Moderate (The symptom is present. Participant is usually aware of the symptom, but activities and lifestyle are only occasionally affected), and 3=Severe (The symptom is present. Participant is usually aware and bothered by the symptom and have modified participant's activities and/or lifestyle due to the symptom. The negative change from Baseline indicates improvement. Week 12/Final Visit is defined as the last available postbaseline assessment up to Week 12.

Change From Baseline in Vaginal pH to Week 12/Final VisitBaseline (Day 0) to Week 12/Final Visit

Vaginal pH was obtained at final visit of the study. The pH was a numeric value from a scale of 0 to 14 expressing the acidity or alkalinity of the vaginal fluids where 7 was neutral, lower values were more acidic (values of 0-6) and higher values more alkaline (values of 8-14). A negative change from Baseline indicates improvement. Week 12/Final Visit is defined as the last available postbaseline assessment up to Week 12.

Change From Baseline in Percentage of Vaginal Superficial Cells to Week 12/Final VisitBaseline (Day 0) to Week 12/Final Visit

Vaginal wall smears were collected from each participant. The smears were sent to the central laboratory for analysis to determine the percentage of superficial cells. Week 12/Final Visit is defined as the last available postbaseline assessment up to Week 12.

Change From Baseline in Percentage of Vaginal Parabasal Cells to Week 12/Final VisitBaseline (Day 0) to Week 12/Final Visit

Vaginal wall smears were collected from each participant. The smears were sent to the central laboratory for analysis to determine the percentage of parabasal cells. Week 12/Final Visit is defined as the last available postbaseline assessment up to Week 12.

NameTimeMethod
Change From Baseline in Investigator's Assessment of Vaginal Dryness to Week 12 and Week 12/Final VisitBaseline (Day 0) to Week 12 and Week 12/Final visit

Investigator's assessment of vaginal health was performed by visual inspection of the vagina with respect to vaginal dryness scored on a 4-point scale where: 0= none, 1= mild, 2= moderate, or 3= severe. The negative change from Baseline indicates improvement. Week 12/Final Visit is defined as the last available postbaseline assessment up to Week 12.

Change From Baseline in Investigator's Assessment of Atrophy to Week 12 and Week 12/Final VisitBaseline (Day 0) to Week 12 and Week 12/Final visit

Investigator's assessment of vaginal health was performed by visual inspection of the vagina with respect to atrophy scored on a 4-point scale where: 0= none, 1= mild, 2= moderate, or 3= severe. The negative change from Baseline indicates improvement. Week 12/Final Visit is defined as the last available postbaseline assessment up to Week 12.

Change From Baseline in Investigator's Assessment of Pallor to Week 12 and Week 12/Final VisitBaseline (Day 0) to Week 12 and Week 12/Final visit

Investigator's assessment of vaginal health was performed by visual inspection of the vagina with respect to pallor scored on a 4-point scale where: 0= none, 1= mild, 2= moderate, or 3= severe. The negative change from Baseline indicates improvement. Week 12/Final Visit is defined as the last available postbaseline assessment up to Week 12.

Percentage of Participants With Vaginal Bleeding Associated With Sexual Activity as Per Participant's Self-Assessment to Weeks 2, 4, 8, 12 and Week 12/Final VisitBaseline (Day 0) and Weeks 2, 4, 8, 12 and Week 12/Final visit

Vaginal bleeding associated with sexual activity was assessed by participants as either "present" or "absent". Percentage of participants with assessment "present" are reported. Week 12/Final Visit is defined as the last available postbaseline assessment up to Week 12.

Change From Baseline in Investigator's Assessment of Friability to Week 12 and Week 12/Final VisitBaseline (Day 0) to Week 12 and Week 12/Final visit

Investigator's assessment of vaginal health was performed by visual inspection of the vagina with respect to friability scored on a 4-point scale where: 0= none, 1= mild, 2= moderate, or 3= severe. The negative change from Baseline indicates improvement. Week 12/Final Visit is defined as the last available postbaseline assessment up to Week 12.

Change From Baseline in Investigator's Assessment of Petechiae to Week 12 and Week 12/Final VisitBaseline (Day 0) to Week 12 and Week 12/Final visit
