Details and patient eligibility

About

Approximately 300 patients with female sexual arousal disorder who meet eligibility criteria will be enrolled and randomized to receive either active drug or matching placebo. After a two-month, non-treatment period, patients will receive study drug for 6 months and will record information about sexual encounters in a daily diary. Study drug will be applied directly to the genital area 30-60 minutes before initiation of sexual activity. The endpoint of the study is based on the use of a standard measure of sexual function (FSEP).

Full description

This is a multicenter, double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled, parallel-design study involving about 300 women who are 21-60 years of age inclusive, who have undergone a hysterectomy (with or without oophorectomy), and who have a primary diagnosis of FSAD. The diagnosis of FSAD will be made based on a medical and sexual history and confirmed using a structured interview by trained personnel. Study subjects will undergo a 2-month non-treatment run-in period followed by a 6-month period of blinded study therapy. Study drug is applied topically to the genitalia 30-60 minutes prior to initiation of sexual activity. Study subjects will complete several questionnaires at various times during the study and will complete a daily diary. The study endpoint is based on the FSEP and other standard questionnaires, as well as safety and tolerability of study drug.
