Treating Moderate-to-Severe Menopausal Vasomotor Symptoms With Fezolinetant: Analysis of Responders Using Pooled Data From Two Phase 3 Studies (SKYLIGHT 1 and 2)
Source : https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38626380/
Fezolinetant was associated with significantly higher within-patient clinically meaningful improvement in important PRO, including VMS frequency, PROMIS SD SF 8b Total Score, MENQoL Total Score, and MENQoL VMS Domain Score.
Greater proportions of fezolinetant-treated versus placebo-treated participants had ≥50%, ≥75%, ≥90%, or 100% reduction in vasomotor symptom frequency from baseline to weeks 4 and 12.
