Trial Outcomes & Findings for Vulvoscopy Changes of the Vulva, Vestibule and Vagina With Daily Ospemifene in Women With Dyspareunia From VVA (NCT NCT02784613)

NCT ID: NCT02784613

Last Updated: 2019-04-02

Results Overview

Change in score on the Vulvoscopic Genital Tissue Appearance (VGTA) scale from baseline to 20 weeks was measured using ten parameters: 1) loss of labia majora, 2) loss of labia minora, 3) decreased glans clitoris, 4) prominence of the urethral meatus, 5) stenosis of the introitus, 6) vestibular pallor, 7) vestibular erythema, 8) loss of vestibular moisture, 9) loss of vaginal rugae, and 10) loss of prominence of the anterior vaginal wall to determine health of the vulva, vestibule and vaginal region using vulvoscopic photographs. VGTA scoring ranges from 0 (normal) to 3 (most severe) for each parameter, for a total score ranging from 0 (normal) to 30 (most severe). Each region assessed is reflected as worse for a higher score and better for a lower score in the 0-3 range, and the same for the total score, with 0 being the best possible score and 30 the worse.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline and 20 weeks

Population: Completers

Changes in pain as noted on the pain scale (0-3) by q-tip testing of the vestibule by the clinician, with 0 representing no pain at the location and 3 being severe in each location, 1 o'clock, 3 o'clock, 5 o'clock, 6 o'clock, 7 o'clock, 9 o'clock and 11 o'clock circling the vestibule. The maximum total pain score range is 0 (no pain) to the worst score possible of 21 indicating severe pain at all locations.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline and 20 weeks

Population: completers

For each sexual encounter, patients were required to record a ''yes" or "no" response to the following question: Did you experience pain during intercourse? The percentage of sexual encounters in which the woman answered "yes" to this question at baseline (first month of the study) and at week 20 (last month of the study) was compared. The worst score possible was experiencing pain during 100% of sexual encounters and the best possible score was experiencing pain during 0% of sexual encounters at any given assessment period.
