Exclusion Criteria:
Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.
Periods have stopped for good: usually no period for 12 months in a row without another medical reason, sometimes confirmed by a blood test (FSH).
Weight in kilograms divided by height in metres squared. Example: 70 kg and 1.75 m gives 70 ÷ (1.75 × 1.75) ≈ 22.9.
What counts as overweight or obesity differs between countries (some use lower cut-offs), so go by the range the study states.
Before you join, the study team explains what taking part involves — its purpose, what happens, the risks and possible benefits — and answers your questions, so you can decide freely. Consent is usually recorded on a form (the informed consent form, ICF) signed by you or, where the law allows, by someone legally authorised to decide for you.
You can keep asking questions during the study, you are told of new information that matters, and you can choose to leave at any time.
Ways of preventing pregnancy. “Highly effective” methods fail less than 1% of the time a year when used correctly — for example an IUD or an implant.
Criteria usually say which methods count and how long to keep using them after the last dose, sometimes for male participants too. Some studies accept a partner’s vasectomy if it was confirmed successful and that person is the participant’s only sexual partner.
A “mini-stroke”: temporary stroke-like symptoms caused by reduced blood flow to part of the brain, spinal cord or eye, without signs of a new stroke on a scan.
Stroke symptoms need emergency care at once, even if they go away.
GFR (glomerular filtration rate) is how much blood the kidneys filter each minute. It is usually estimated from a blood test — eGFR, by formulas such as CKD-EPI or MDRD — and some studies ask for it to be measured directly instead. Usually given in mL/min/1.73 m².
Check the method, the units and the minimum the study states. A value of 90 or above is in the normal-or-high range, but kidney damage can show in other tests too.
Two enzymes measured in a routine blood test of the liver. Higher levels can mean the liver is under strain or damaged. SGPT and SGOT are older names for ALT and AST.
Criteria usually give a limit as a multiple of the upper limit of normal (ULN), often higher when cancer has spread to the liver.
The top of the normal range for a blood test, as set by the laboratory that runs it. Each lab prints its own range next to your result.
“≤ 2.5 × ULN” means the result can be up to two and a half times that top value.
Postmenopausal
Periods have stopped for good: usually no period for 12 months in a row without another medical reason, sometimes confirmed by a blood test (FSH).

Assess Impact
To assess the impact of the investigational product on the symptoms and quality of life (QoL) in menopausal women as assessed by Menopause Rating Score II (MRS-II) Each of the 11 symptoms contained in the scale can get 0 (no complaints) or up to 4 scoring points (severe symptoms) depending on the severity of the complaints perceived by the women completing the scale (an appropriate box is to be ticked). The score increases point by point with increasing severity of subjectively perceived symptoms in each of the 11 items.
Time frame: 120 days
Impact on Severity of Symptoms
To assess the impact of the investigational product on the severity of symptoms as assessed by MRS-II Each of the 11 symptoms contained in the scale can get 0 (no complaints) or up to 4 scoring points (severe symptoms) depending on the severity of the complaints perceived by the women completing the scale (an appropriate box is to be ticked). The score increases point by point with increasing severity of subjectively perceived symptoms in each of the 11 items.
Time frame: 120 days
Impact on number of Hot Flashes / Night Sweats
To assess the impact of the investigational product on the number of hot flashes and night sweats. All study participants will receive a diary where they will report their daily number of hot flashes and night sweats.
Time frame: 120 days
Impact on Intensity of Hot Flashes / Night Sweats
To assess the impact of the investigational product on the intensity of hot flashes and night sweats All study participants will receive a diary where they will report their daily number of hot flashes and night sweats.
Time frame: 120 days
Impact on QoL
To assess the impact of the investigational product on menopause-related QoL as assessed by the Greene Climacteric Scale (GCS) questionnaire The Greene Climacteric Scale (GCS) is a standard list of 21 questions which women use to rate how much they are bothered by menopause symptoms such as hot flashes, night sweats, rapid heartbeat, and difficulty sleeping. Each symptom is rated on a 4-point Likert scale from 0 points (not at all) to 3 points (Extremely)
Time frame: 120 days
Impact on Depression, Anxiety and Stress
To assess the impact of the investigational product on Depress, Anxiety and Stress Scale-21 (DASS-21) This scale form is a short form of the 42 item self reported questionnaire measuring depression, anxiety and stress. The 21 items on this questionnaire comprise a set of 3 self-reported scales designed to assess DASS. The 7 elements on the scales are graded on a Likert scale from 0 to 3.
Time frame: 120 days
Impact on levels of reproductive hormones
To assess the impact of the investigational product on levels of relevant reproductive hormones during peri- and post-menopause Efficacy laboratory tests are to be performed for all participants as indicated in the protocol's SoA. For Hormones - Oestrone, Oestradiol, FSH and progesterone.
Time frame: 120 days

Time frame: 120 days
Satisfaction of Use
To assess the satisfaction with the use of the investigational product Product satisfaction will be evaluated by using an ordinal 5-point Likert scale, where study participants will have to rate the degree to which they agree or disagree with the statement: "Please indicate the degree of satisfaction or dissatisfaction with the way the study product has relieved your symptoms associated to menopause"
