- Non-hysterectomized women:
- Amenorrhea for ≥ 12 months or
- Amenorrhea for ≤ 12 months, but longer than 6 months, and serum FSH (follicle stimulating hormone) levels \> 40 units/L and serum estradiol levels \< 20 pg /mL,
- Hysterectomized women:
- Bilateral oophorectomy - subjects may enter the study 6 weeks after surgery or
- History of removal of ovaries may be confirmed by - serum FSH levels \> 40 units/L and serum estradiol levels \< 20 pg/mL or via surgical report / ultrasound.
- Seven or more moderate or severe hot flushes daily for 1 week or 60 or more moderate or severe flushes in 1 week during the 2 week screening period prior to study entry.
You may not qualify if:
- Hormone therapy administered via the following routes and during the specified timeframes: oral within 8 weeks, vaginal (rings, creams, gels) within 1 week, transdermal within 4 weeks, intramuscular within 6 weeks, progestational implants, estrogen or estrogen/progestational injectable drug therapy within 3 months, estrogen pellet or progestational injectable within 6 months.
- Abnormal Pap smear suggestive of low grade squamous intraepithelial lesion (LGSIL) or worse. Enrollment of subjects with an ASCUS (atypical squamous cells of undetermined significance) interpretation must be discussed with the sponsor prior to randomization.
