About this study

Official title: Effect of the Dietary Supplement Bonafide-HF3.0 on Women Who Experience Vasomotor Symptoms: An Open Label Experience Trial

The goal of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of a neurokinin 1,3 antagonist on improving vasomotor symptoms (VMS) and overall menopause symptoms in women between the ages of 40-70. The primary research question is whether taking the study product daily for 4 weeks with an optional 8 week extension, significantly reduces the severity and frequency of menopause-related symptoms.

Read the detailed description

About 200 women across the U.S. will take part in this open label trial. All participants will take the study product and will be instructed to consume two tablets each morning for 4 weeks. Participants will be offered the option to enroll in an 8 week extension after the 4 week supplementation period. During this extension, participants will be asked to continue supplementing with the study product at the same dosing regimen. If a participant opts out of the extension, the total time the participant will be in the study is 5 weeks, including baseline data collection. If a participant opts into the 8 week extension, the total time the participant will be in the study is 12 weeks.

This is a remotely-delivered trial with no in-person assessments. Participants will take part in four virtual check-ins, including a pre-screening visit, a screening visit, a baseline visit, and a initial end of study visit. If a participant opts into the 8 week extension, there will be two additional virtual visits that are each conducted 4 weeks apart, including a end-of-extension visit. Throughout the study, participants will be asked to complete daily diaries and weekly and monthly questionnaires to report on their symptoms and how they are feeling. Questions included in these assessments ask about hot flashes, night sweats, physical comfort, and overall well-being. The study is led by a research team based in Harrison, NY, USA.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Change from Baseline on Hot Flash Symptoms assessed by the number and severity of hot flashes and times awakened at night due to night sweats collected via participant diary tracking electronically.

    Study diary will be completed by participants daily from Day -7 to -1 to establish a pre-dose baseline and then from Day 1 to Day 28 ± for the initial study duration. If a participant participates in the optional extension, they will be asked to continue completing the diaries for an additional 56 ± 3 days, for a total of 84 ± 3 days. The information recorded will be the number and severity of hot flashes that occurred, the number of night sweats and severity, any changes in concomitant medication/dietary supplement information, and any changes in health (Day 1 to 84 ± 3). Efficacy outcomes include daily diary results (number and severity of hot flashes and number of times awakened at night due to night sweats)

    Measured: From enrollment to initial end of study at 8 weeks and/or end of study at optional 12 weeks

  2. Change from Baseline on Hot Flash Symptoms assessed via Hot Flash Related Daily Interference Scale (HFRDIS) scores.

    The HFRDIS measures the impact of hot flashes on overall quality of life and nine specific activities (work, social activities, sleep, mood, leisure activities, concentration, enjoyment of life, sexuality, and relations with others).The rating scale ranges from 0-10, with 0 being does not interfere, and 10 being completely interferes. A higher score indicates a worse outcome.

    Measured: From enrollment to initial end of study at 8 weeks and/or end of study at optional 12 weeks

  3. Change from Baseline on Hot Flash Symptoms assessed via the Visual Analog Scale Vasomotor Symptoms Questionnaire (VAS).

    The Visual Analog Scale (VAS) has symptoms recorded on a 10-cm line that represents a continuum between the two ends of a scale -"not bothered" on the left end (0cm) of the scale and "extremely bothered" on the right end (10 cm) of the scale. Subjects mark one point on that continuum, and researchers measure the distance from that point to one of the ends of the scale. Response options range from 0-100, with a higher score reflecting the worse outcome.

    Measured: From enrollment to initial end of study at 8 weeks and/or end of study at optional 12 weeks

  4. Change from Baseline on Overall Menopausal Symptoms assessed via the Greene Climacteric Scale (CGS).

    The GCS was a scale created to be a brief and standardized method to measure climacteric symptoms or complaints. Each of the 21 items is scored between 0-3, with 0 being not at all bothered and 3 being extremely bothered. There are three sub-scales that are measured, which include vasomotor, physical and psychological symptoms. Responses with a higher score reflect a worse outcome.

    Measured: From enrollment to initial end of study at 8 weeks and/or end of study at optional 12 weeks

  5. Change from Baseline on Overall Menopausal Symptoms assessed via the Menopause Rating Scale (MRS).

    The MRS is a self-administered scale that scores eleven items on a 5-point scale, with 0 being no complaints and 4 being very severe symptoms. Each question is rated on a 5-point scale, with the higher number correlating with the more severe symptoms and worse outcome.

    Measured: From enrollment to initial end of study at 8 weeks and/or end of study at optional 12 weeks

  6. Change from Baseline on Overall Menopausal Symptoms assessed via the Visual Analog Scale Vasomotor Symptoms Questionnaire (VAS).

    The Visual Analog Scale (VAS) has symptoms recorded on a 10-cm line that represents a continuum between the two ends of a scale -"not bothered" on the left end (0cm) of the scale and "extremely bothered" on the right end (10 cm) of the scale. Subjects mark one point on that continuum, and researchers measure the distance from that point to one of the ends of the scale. Response options range from 0-100, with a higher score reflecting the worse outcome.

    Measured: From enrollment to initial end of study at 8 weeks and/or end of study at optional 12 weeks

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Change from Baseline of Sleep Quality assessed via the Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System Sleep Disturbance Short Form (PROMIS SD SF).

    The Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System Sleep Disturbance Short Form (PROMIS SD SF) assesses self-reported perceptions of sleep, including difficulties and concerns with getting to sleep or staying asleep, satisfaction of sleep, and overall sleep quality. This form does not focus on symptoms of specific sleep disorders; it is universal rather than disease-specific. It assesses sleep disturbance over the past seven days

    Measured: From enrollment to initial end of study at 8 weeks and/or end of study at optional 12 weeks

  2. Change from Baseline of Quality of Life assessed via the menopause-specific quality of life (MENQOL)

    The MENQOL is a quality-of-life questionnaire that is specific to postmenopausal women.There are 29 questions that ask questions pertaining to symptoms or problems that are directly related to menopause. Each question being scored from 0 to 6, 0 being not at all bothered and 6 being extremely bothered, with 6 being the worse outcome.

    Measured: From enrollment to initial end of study at 8 weeks and/or end of study at optional 12 weeks

  3. Change from Baseline on Joint pain and discomfort assessed via the Joint Questionnaire

    Change from baseline in scores in the Joint Questionnaire. The Joint Questionnaire is a modified version of the validated Musculoskeletal Questionnaire to include more relevant and joint pain/discomfort specific questions. The questionnaire contains eight questions focused on joint and/or muscular pain, discomfort, and or soreness in the past two weeks. Questions include multiple-choice answers based on severity and frequency.

    Measured: From enrollment to initial end of study at 8 weeks and/or end of study at optional 12 weeks
