5 Clinical Trials for Vasom
This is an observational study to learn more about vasomotor symptoms (VSM) burden and treatment patterns in menopausal women before and after participating in OASIS studies. In this study, data from women with VMS associated with menopause who took part in any of the three OASIS studies and were treated with elizanetant or a placebo, are collected and studied. In observational studies, only observations are made without participants receiving any advice or any changes to healthcare. VMS associated with menopause is a condition in which women who have been through the menopause have hot flashes caused by hormonal changes. Menopause is the stage when a woman stops having menstrual cycles or periods. No investigational products will be administered in this study. The participants in this study already received the standard of care (SOC) treatment for VMS before and after their participation in the study, as part of their regular care from their doctors. The SOC is the treatment that medical experts consider most appropriate currently. OASIS is a set of clinical studies. In this study data will be collected from participants who took part in OASIS 1, 2 or 3 . These three studies assessed the safety and effects of elizanetant compared to a placebo for VMS associated with the menopause. Based on the results of these three studies, Bayer filed a New Drug Application for elizanetant. To better understand the impact of elizanetant on VMS, more knowledge is needed about treatment patterns that were followed for VMS before and after the OASIS studies. The main purpose of this study is to gather real-world data on participants' prescription trends, whether they continued or stopped taking treatments, and healthcare resource utilization, before and after their participation. This study will include participants from OASIS 1,2 or 3 from the United States of America, who have agreed to be contacted to share information regarding their treatment. This study will have 2 parts: Part A - researchers will invite participants to complete an online survey about the treatments given in the year before starting the OASIS study. Part B - researchers will use tokens (an anonymized number to ensure participants' privacy) to learn about the treatments given to them 6 months after the completion of the OASIS study through their anonymized medical records. Researchers will collect the following information: Part A: * the prescription and over-the-counter medicines used by the participants for VMS in the year before the OASIS start * whether they continued or stopped taking them, and * the reason for doing so Part B: * the prescription medicines used by the participants for VMS in 6 months after the OASIS ended * whether they continued or stopped taking them For Part A the data will be collected from the participant survey between March 2025 and June 2025, and for Part B the data will be collected using participants' medical records between April 2025 to May 2025. In this study, only available data from routine care are collected. No visits or tests are required as part of this study.
This phase II trial tests how well fezolinetant works in improving vasomotor symptoms (VMS) in breast cancer patients taking endocrine therapy (ET). Anti-hormone treatments are effective for lowering the risk of breast cancer but can cause bothersome VMS, such as hot flashes and night sweats. Fezolinetant inhibits the activity of the neurokinin type 3 receptor and has shown activity against VMS in postmenopausal women. Taking fezolinetant may work well at improving VMS in breast cancer patients taking ET.
The goal of this study is to examine the impact of a diet high in fresh lean pork, compared to a plant-based diet, on cardiovascular function and vasomotor symptoms in perimenopausal women with overweight and obesity. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. How does a diet high in pork, compared to a plant-based diet, affects blood lipids, endothelial function, and blood pressure? 2. How does a diet high in pork, compared to a plant-based diet, affects blood nitrate, cardiometabolic biomarkers, inflammatory biomarkers, and vasomotor symptoms? Researchers will compare the diet high in pork to a plant-based diet to see if pork helps improve cardiovascular and mesopause symptoms. Participants will: * Consume both of the diets, each for 4 weeks, with a washout period between 2 and 6 weeks in between the diets trials * Visit the clinic 5 times with weekly meal pick ups during the diet trials * Undergo testing procedures including: weight and body composition, blood pressure and pulse, endothelial function using ultrasound of upper arm, microvascular blood flow, blood draws, physical activity measurements, and questionnaires.
Women who experience hot flashes are at greater risk for hypertension and other cardiovascular disease. Neurovascular control mechanisms are likely to play an important role in this relationship. As such, these studies are designed to provide a major step forward in understanding the link between hot flashes and neurovascular dysfunction and, by extension, cardiovascular disease in women.
The purpose of this research is to determine whether hot water therapy (i.e. taking prolonged hot baths on multiple consecutive days) decreases hot flash symptoms and improves mood in women who are undergoing or who have underwent menopause. It is hypothesized that women who undergo hot water therapy will have reduced hot flash symptoms and improved mood. Initial tracking period: Women who volunteer to participate in this study will be asked to track the frequency and intensity of their hot flash and other menopause-related symptoms for an initial two week period. Afterwards, they will start their heat therapy program. Physiological assessments: On days 1, 7, and 13 of the heat therapy sessions, the participants will enter a climate controlled room to have their thermoregulatory responses assessed. This will consist of slowly walking on a motorized treadmill in 99.5°F (37.5°C) and 30% relative humidity conditions, for 30 min, after which the humidity in the climate chamber will be progressively increased until their core temperature begins to increase (\~2 hour total time). Before and/or during these trials, core temperature, heart rate, whole-body sweat losses, thermal comfort, local sweat rate, and skin blood flow will be measured, and a 6 ml (\~1 tsp) blood sample will be taken, to assess how the participants respond to the heat stress. These sessions should take less than 3 hours to complete. Hot water therapy sessions: Upon enrolling in the study, the participants will be assigned to one of two groups: water bathing at 105°F or 97°F in the lab. On days 2-6 and 8-12 of the therapy sessions, the participants will immerse themselves to a water level at the shoulders for \~30 min, followed by immersion to the hip level for \~60 min (total immersion time of 90 min). Post-intervention tracking period: after completing the heat therapy sessions, the participants will be asked to continue to take baths at home once every 4 days for 1 month. During this time, the participants will be asked to record the intensity and frequency of their hot flashes daily and other menopause-related symptoms weekly. At the end of this month the participants will be given a final exit survey, in order for them to provide the researchers information about their experience participating in the study.
