Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

  • Sexual desire

    Change from Baseline in sexual desire as evaluated by Questions 1 \& 2 of the 19-items questionnaire titled Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI). For this outcome, Question 1 and Question 2 (corresponding to the desire domain) will be graded from 1 to 5 (score range) and then be multiplied by 0.6 (domain factor). The desire domain (sum of scores from Questions 1 \& 2) has a minimum score of 1.2 and a maximum score of 6. Higher values represent a better outcome.

    28 weeks

  • Distress from low sexual desire

    Change from Baseline in distress from low sexual desire as evaluated by Question 13 of the 15-items questionnaire titled Female Sexual Distress Scale - Desire Arousal Orgasm (FSDS-DAO). For this outcome, Question 13 is graded from 0 to 4 and a lower value represents a better outcome.
