结局指标
主要结局
Change From Baseline to Week 12 in Percentage of Superficial Cells in the Maturation Index of the Vaginal Smear
时间窗: Baseline and Week 12
The percentage of superficial cells was determined from the vaginal smears collected during the study. A 100-cell count was performed by a central laboratory to classify cells as parabasal (P) (including basal), intermediate (I), and superficial (S) squamous cell types. Data obtained at Baseline and Week 12 as well as the change from Baseline to Week 12 are presented.
Change From Baseline to Week 12 in Severity of the Most Bothersome Symptom of Vaginal Dryness
时间窗: Baseline and Week 12
The severity of vaginal dryness was evaluated by a questionnaire filled out by women. The severity of dryness recorded as none, mild, moderate or severe was analyzed using the score values of 0, 1, 2 or 3, respectively. Data obtained at Baseline and Week 12 as well as the change from Baseline to Week 12 are presented.
Change From Baseline to Week 12 in Vaginal pH
时间窗: Baseline and Week 12
A pH strip fixed on an Ayre spatula (or equivalent) was applied directly to the lateral wall of the vagina. The change in color of the pH indicator strip was compared to the color chart for pH evaluation. The corresponding pH value (with one decimal) was recorded. Data obtained at Baseline and Week 12 as well as the change from Baseline to Week 12 are presented.
Change From Baseline to Week 12 in Percentage of Parabasal Cells in the Maturation Index of the Vaginal Smear
时间窗: Baseline and Week 12
The percentage of parabasal cells was determined from the vaginal smears collected during the study. A 100-cell count was performed by a central laboratory to classify cells as parabasal (P) (including basal), intermediate (I), and superficial (S) squamous cell types. Data obtained at Baseline and Week 12 as well as the change from Baseline to Week 12 are presented.

- Change From Baseline to Week 12 in Severity of Vaginal Atrophy as Evaluated From Vaginal Epithelial Surface Thickness(Baseline and Week 12)
- Change From Baseline to Week 12 in Severity of Vaginal Atrophy as Evaluated From Vaginal Color(Baseline and Week 12)
- Change From Baseline to Week 12 in Severity of Vaginal Atrophy as Evaluated From Vaginal Secretions(Baseline and Week 12)
- Change From Baseline to Week 12 in Severity of Dyspareunia(Baseline and Week 12)
