Consistency of Effect with a Low-Dose, Estradiol Vaginal Capsule (TX-004HR): Evaluating Improvement in Vaginal Physiology and Moderate-to-Severe Dyspareunia in Subgroups of Postmenopausal Women.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The 12-week, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multicenter, phase 3 REJOICE trial demonstrated that TX-004HR, an investigational, applicator-free, low-dose vaginal softgel capsule containing solubilized 17β-estradiol, effectively and rapidly treats symptoms of vulvar and vaginal atrophy (VVA) with negligible to very low systemic absorption. The aim of this analysis was to assess whether the efficacy of TX-004HR varies with age, body mass index (BMI), uterine status, pregnancy status, and vaginal delivery.

Methods

The REJOICE trial evaluated the efficacy of 4-, 10-, and 25-μg doses of TX-004HR in postmenopausal women (40-75 years) with VVA and a self-identified most bothersome symptom of moderate-to-severe dyspareunia. Prespecified subgroup analyses of
