Vasomotor Symptoms Associated With MenopausePhase 3NCT05099159
A Study to Learn More About How Well Elinzanetant Works and How Safe it is for the Treatment of Vasomotor Symptoms (Hot Flashes) That Are Caused by Hormonal Changes Over 26 Weeks in Women Who Have Been Through the Menopause (OASIS-2)
A Phase 3 study testing Elinzanetant (BAY3427080) in people with Vasomotor Symptoms Associated With Menopause and Hot Flashes, run by Bayer at 113 sites in 12 countries.
Trial summary
Researchers are looking for a better way to treat women who have hot flashes after women have been through the menopause. Hot flashes are caused by the hormonal changes that happen when a woman's body has been through the menopause. Menopause is when women stop having a menstrual cycle, also called a period.

About this study
Official title: A Double-blind, Randomized, Placebo-controlled Multicenter Study to Investigate Efficacy and Safety of Elinzanetant for the Treatment of Vasomotor Symptoms Over 26 Weeks in Postmenopausal Women
Researchers are looking for a better way to treat women who have hot flashes after women have been through the menopause. Hot flashes are caused by the hormonal changes that happen when a woman's body has been through the menopause. Menopause is when women stop having a menstrual cycle, also called a period. During the menopause, the ovaries increasingly produce less sex hormones as a result of the natural ageing process and related hormonal adjustments. The decline in hormone production can lead to various symptoms which, in some cases, can have a very adverse effect on a menopausal woman's quality of life.
The study treatment, elinzanetant, was developed to treat symptoms caused by hormonal changes. It works by blocking a protein called neurokinin from sending signals to other parts of the body, which is thought to play a role in starting hot flashes. There are treatments for hot flashes in women who have been through the menopause, but may cause medical problems for some people.

In this study, the researchers will learn how well elinzanetant works compared to a placebo in women who have been through the menopause and have hot flashes. A placebo looks like a treatment but does not have any medicine in it. To compare these study treatments, the doctors will ask the participants to record information about the participants' hot flashes in an electronic diary. The researchers will study the number of hot flashes the participants have and how severe the hot flashes are. The researchers will look at the results from before treatment, after 4 weeks, and after 12 weeks of treatment.
The participants in this study will take two capsules of either elinzanetant or the placebo once a day. The participants who take elinzanetant will take it for 26 weeks. The participants who take the placebo will take it for 12 weeks and then take elinzanetant for the next 14 weeks.
During the study, the participants will visit the site approximately 9 times and perform 1 visit by phone. Each participant will be in the study for approximately 36 weeks. The treatment duration will be 26 weeks.
During the study, the participants will:
- record information about the participants' hot flashes in an electronic diary
- answer questions about the participants' symptoms
The doctors will:
- check the participants' health
- take blood samples
- ask the participants questions about what medicines the participants are taking and if the participants are having adverse events An adverse event is any medical problem that a participant has during a study. Doctors keep track of all adverse events that happen in studies, even if doctors do not think the adverse events might be related to the study treatments.

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Mean Change in Frequency of Moderate to Severe HF From Baseline to Week 4 (Assessed by HFDD)
Participants' assessments of HF were recorded electronically twice daily using the sponsor developed Hot Flash Daily Diary (HFDD). The HFDD was completed in the morning after waking up (morning diary) and each evening at bedtime (evening diary) on the hand-held device. The HFDD items assessed the number of mild, moderate, and severe HF experienced during the day and during the night. Mild HF was defined as a "sensation of heat without sweating", moderate HF was defined as a "sensation of heat with sweating, but able to continue activity", and severe HF was defined as a "sensation of heat with sweating, causing cessation (stopping) of activity".
The frequency of moderate to severe HF for each week during the treatment period was calculated using the available data during that particular week. Specifically, for Week 4, Day 22-28 were used (Day 1 corresponds to start of treatment).
Measured: From baseline to Week 4
Mean Change in Frequency of Moderate to Severe HF From Baseline to Week 12 (Assessed by HFDD)
The frequency of moderate to severe HF for each week during the treatment period was calculated using the available data during that particular week. Specifically, for Week 12, Day 78-84 were used (Day 1 corresponds to start of treatment).
Measured: From baseline to Week 12
Mean Change in Severity of Moderate to Severe HF From Baseline to Week 4 (Assessed by HFDD)
In the HFDD, hot flash (HF) severity is scored as 1=mild, 2=moderate, and 3=severe; a decrease indicates improvement. The diary records the number of mild, moderate, and severe HFs during day and night. Mild HFs are a "sensation of heat without sweating"; moderate are "heat with sweating but able to continue activity"; severe are "heat with sweating that stops activity."
Baseline mean daily severity is calculated as:
(2×moderateHFs+3×severeHFs)÷(totalmoderate+severeHFs).(2 × moderate HFs + 3 × severe HFs) ÷ (total moderate + severe HFs).(2×moderateHFs+3×severeHFs)÷(totalmoderate+severeHFs).
If none occur, severity=0. Weekly severity during treatment is based on available days (Week 4: Days 22-28; Week 12: Days 78-84; Day 1=start of treatment), averaging the mean daily severity for that week. If more than 2 days are missing, the weekly value is set to missing
Measured: From baseline to Week 4
Mean Change in Severity of Moderate to Severe HF From Baseline to Week 12 (Assessed by HFDD)
In the HFDD, hot flash (HF) severity is categorized as 1=mild, 2=moderate, 3=severe; thus, a decrease indicates improvement. The HFDD records the number of mild, moderate, and severe HFs during day and night. Mild HFs are a "sensation of heat without sweating"; moderate involve "heat with sweating but able to continue activity"; severe involve "heat with sweating that stops activity."
Mean daily severity at baseline is calculated as:
(2 × moderate HFs) + (3 × severe HFs)\] ÷ (total moderate + severe HFs). If none occur, severity is set to 0. Weekly severity during treatment is based on available days (Week 4: Days 22-28; Week 12: Days 78-84; Day 1=start of treatment), averaging mean daily severity across that week. If more than 2 days are missing, the week is set to missing.
Measured: From baseline to Week 12
Secondary outcomes (6)
Mean Change in Frequency of Moderate to Severe HF From Baseline to Week 1 (Assessed by HFDD)
Participants' assessments of HF were recorded electronically twice daily using the sponsor developed HFDD. The HFDD was completed in the morning after waking up (morning diary) and each evening at bedtime (evening diary) on the hand-held device.
Measured: From baseline to Week 1
Mean Change in Frequency of Moderate to Severe HF From Baseline Over Time (Assessed by HFDD)
The frequency of moderate to severe HF for each week during the treatment period was calculated using the available data during that particular week. Specifically, for Week 1 Days 2-8 were used instead of 1-7, because the intake started on Day 1 only before going to bed, for Week 4 Days 22-28 were used and for Week 12 Days 78-84 were used (Day 1 corresponds to start of treatment). These data were aggregated to a mean daily frequency as (total number of moderate to severe HF during that week) / (total number of available days with data during that week). In case data is not available for more than 2 days within a week, the value for that particular week was be set to missing.
Measured: From baseline to Week 30
Mean Change in Patient-reported Outcomes Measurement Information System Sleep Disturbance Short Form 8b (PROMIS SD SF 8b) Total T-score From Baseline to Week 12
In controversy of what you have been proposing above here you are just explaining the PROMIS SD SF 8b scores, not the secondary endpoint which is the change in the T-scores from BL to week 12
The PROMIS Sleep Disturbance Short Form 8b (PROMIS SD SF 8b) measures sleep disturbance over the past 7 days using 8 items assessing sleep quality, depth, restorative sleep, difficulty falling or staying asleep, and perceptions of sleep adequacy and satisfaction. Items use 5-point response options that vary by item (e.g., Not at all → Very much; Never → Always; Very poor → Very good). Item scores sum to a raw score of 8-40, which is converted to a T-score (mean 50, SD 10; range 28.9-76.5). Higher scores reflect greater sleep disturbance. PROMIS cut points classify T-scores of 55-59 as mild, 60-69 as moderate, and ≥70 as severe disturbance.
Measured: From baseline to Week 12
Mean Change in Menopause-specific Quality of Life Scale (MENQOL) Total Score From Baseline to Week 12
The MENQOL questionnaire was comprised of 29 items assessing the presence of menopausal symptoms and the impact of menopause on health-related quality of life over the past week. The items assessed four domains of symptoms and functioning: VMS, psychosocial functioning, physical functioning, and sexual functioning. For each item, the participants indicated if they had experienced the symptom (yes/no). If participants selected yes, participants rated how bothered they were by the symptom using a six-point verbal descriptor scale, with response options ranging from 0 'not at all bothered' to 6 'extremely bothered'. Based on the individual responses, item scores, domain scores, and a total MENQOL score were calculated. The four domain scores were calculated as a mean of converted single item scores (range 1-8), and the mean of the four domain scores yielded the MENQOL total score. Higher scores indicated greater bother.
Measured: From baseline to Week 12
Mean Change in Beck Depression Inventory (BDI-II) Total Score From Baseline to Week 12
The BDI-II consisted of 21 items to assess the severity of depression over the past 2 weeks. Each item was a list of four statements arranged in increasing levels of severity about a particular symptom of depression. Items used a 4-point verbal response scale ranging from 0 (not at all) to 3 (extreme form of each symptom); specific response options were tailored to the aspect of depression being measured in each item. A total score ranging from 0 to 63 was calculated with scores of 0-13 indicating mild minimal range, 14 - 19 indicating mild depression, 20 - 28 indicating moderate and 29 - 63 indicating severe depression (higher score = greater depression).
Measured: From baseline to Week 12
Mean Change in BDI-II Total Score From Baseline to Week 26
The BDI-II consisted of 21 items to assess the severity of depression over the past 2 weeks. Each item was a list of four statements arranged in increasing levels of severity about a particular symptom of depression. Items used a 4-point verbal response scale ranging from 0 (not at all) to 3 (extreme form of each symptom); specific response options were tailored to the aspect of depression being measured in each item. A total score ranging from 0 to 63 was calculated with scores of 0-13 indicating mild minimal range, 14 - 19 indicating mild depression, 20 - 28 indicating moderate and 29 - 63 indicating severe depression (higher score = greater depression).
Measured: From baseline to Week 26

There are treatments for hot flashes in women who have been through the menopause, but may cause medical problems for some people.
In this study, the researchers will learn how well elinzanetant works compared to a placebo in women who have been through the menopause and have hot flashes. A placebo looks like a treatment but does not have any medicine in it. To compare these study treatments, the doctors will ask the participants to record information about the participants' hot flashes in an electronic diary. The researchers will study the number of hot flashes the participants have and how severe the hot flashes are. The researchers will look at the results from before treatment, after 4 weeks, and after 12 weeks of treatment.
The participants in this study will take two capsules of either elinzanetant or the placebo once a day. The participants who take elinzanetant will take it for 26 weeks. The participants who take the placebo will take it for 12 weeks and then take elinzanetant for the next 14 weeks.
During the study, the participants will visit the site approximately 9 times and perform 1 visit by phone. Each participant will be in the study for approximately 36 weeks. The treatment duration will be 26 weeks.
During the study, the participants will:
- record information about the participants' hot flashes in an electronic diary
- answer questions about the participants' symptoms
The doctors will:
- check the participants' health
- take blood samples
- ask the participants questions about what medicines the participants are taking and if the participants are having adverse events An adverse event is any medical problem that a participant has during a study. Doctors keep track of all adverse events that happen in studies, even if doctors do not think the adverse events might be related to the study treatments.

Primary outcome
Mean Change in Frequency of Moderate to Severe HF From Baseline to Week 4 (Assessed by HFDD)
Time frame: From baseline to Week 4
Participants' assessments of HF were recorded electronically twice daily using the sponsor developed Hot Flash Daily Diary (HFDD). The HFDD was completed in the morning after waking up (morning diary) and each evening at bedtime (evening diary) on the hand-held device. The HFDD items assessed the number of mild, moderate, and severe HF experienced during the day and during the night. Mild HF was defined as a "sensation of heat without sweating", moderate HF was defined as a "sensation of heat with sweating, but able to continue activity", and severe HF was defined as a "sensation of heat with sweating, causing cessation (stopping) of activity". The frequency of moderate to severe HF for each week during the treatment period was calculated using the available data during that particular week. Specifically, for Week 4, Day 22-28 were used (Day 1 corresponds to start of treatment).
Mean Change in Frequency of Moderate to Severe HF From Baseline to Week 12 (Assessed by HFDD)
Time frame: From baseline to Week 12
The frequency of moderate to severe HF for each week during the treatment period was calculated using the available data during that particular week. Specifically, for Week 12, Day 78-84 were used (Day 1 corresponds to start of treatment).
Mean Change in Severity of Moderate to Severe HF From Baseline to Week 4 (Assessed by HFDD)
Time frame: From baseline to Week 4
In the HFDD, hot flash (HF) severity is scored as 1=mild, 2=moderate, and 3=severe; a decrease indicates improvement. The diary records the number of mild, moderate, and severe HFs during day and night. Mild HFs are a "sensation of heat without sweating"; moderate are "heat with sweating but able to continue activity"; severe are "heat with sweating that stops activity." Baseline mean daily severity is calculated as: (2×moderateHFs+3×severeHFs)÷(totalmoderate+severeHFs).(2 × moderate HFs + 3 × severe HFs) ÷ (total moderate + severe HFs).(2×moderateHFs+3×severeHFs)÷(totalmoderate+severeHFs). If none occur, severity=0. Weekly severity during treatment is based on available days (Week 4: Days 22-28; Week 12: Days 78-84; Day 1=start of treatment), averaging the mean daily severity for that week. If more than 2 days are missing, the weekly value is set to missing
Mean Change in Severity of Moderate to Severe HF From Baseline to Week 12 (Assessed by HFDD)
Time frame: From baseline to Week 12
In the HFDD, hot flash (HF) severity is categorized as 1=mild, 2=moderate, 3=severe; thus, a decrease indicates improvement. The HFDD records the number of mild, moderate, and severe HFs during day and night. Mild HFs are a "sensation of heat without sweating"; moderate involve "heat with sweating but able to continue activity"; severe involve "heat with sweating that stops activity." Mean daily severity at baseline is calculated as: (2 × moderate HFs) + (3 × severe HFs)\] ÷ (total moderate + severe HFs). If none occur, severity is set to 0. Weekly severity during treatment is based on available days (Week 4: Days 22-28; Week 12: Days 78-84; Day 1=start of treatment), averaging mean daily severity across that week. If more than 2 days are missing, the week is set to missing.
