Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Determine the safety and efficacy of two doses of MF101 (5 g/day and 10 g/day) compared to placebo.

    Safety will be measured through clinically significant findings in physical examinations, laboratory parameters, endometrial changes, abnormal uterine bleeding and any other adverse events. Efficacy will be measured by the mean change in frequency of moderate to severe hot flushes from baseline to treatment week 12.
