Brief Summary
|
Menopausal symptoms including hot flushes mood swings sleep disturbances and vaginal dryness can significantly impair the quality of life in affected women. These symptoms may be alleviated to some extent through the administration of local or systemic exogenous estrogen via hormone replacement therapy (HRT). However the long term use of HRT is associated with an increased risk of serious complications including breast cancer cardiovascular events and thromboembolism alongside other potential side effects. Due to these risks there is a growing need for alternative safer options to manage menopausal symptoms effectively. Although NRMN01 has proven its efficacy in the management of various diseases and disorders further clinical studies are needed to substantiate the clinical efficacy of this in the management of hot flushes and night sweats. Preclinical evidence indicates a non hormonal mechanism of action in reduction of vasomotor symptoms. This clinical trial focuses on evaluating the efficacy and safety of NRMN01 in the management of menopause related symptoms through a non hormonal mechanism. The study is conducted based on the rational that the pre clinical studies highlighted the efficacy of NRMN01 on menopause related symptoms. |
