A Study to Learn More About How Well Elinzanetant Works and How Safe it is for the Treatment of Vasomotor Symptoms (Hot Flashes) That Are Caused by Hormonal Changes Over 26 Weeks in Women Who Have Been Through the Menopause (OASIS-2)
Description

Researchers are looking for a better way to treat women who have hot flashes after women have been through the menopause. Hot flashes are caused by the hormonal changes that happen when a woman's body has been through the menopause. Menopause is when women stop having a menstrual cycle, also called a period. During the menopause, the ovaries increasingly produce less sex hormones as a result of the natural ageing process and related hormonal adjustments. The decline in hormone production can lead to various symptoms which, in some cases, can have a very adverse effect on a menopausal woman's quality of life. The study treatment, elinzanetant, was developed to treat symptoms caused by hormonal changes. It works by blocking a protein called neurokinin from sending signals to other parts of the body, which is thought to play a role in starting hot flashes. There are treatments for hot flashes in women who have been through the menopause, but may cause medical problems for some people. In this study, the researchers will learn how well elinzanetant works compared to a placebo in women who have been through the menopause and have hot flashes. A placebo looks like a treatment but does not have any medicine in it. To compare these study treatments, the doctors will ask the participants to record information about the participants' hot flashes in an electronic diary. The researchers will study the number of hot flashes the participants have and how severe the hot flashes are. The researchers will look at the results from before treatment, after 4 weeks, and after 12 weeks of treatment. The participants in this study will take two capsules of either elinzanetant or the placebo once a day. The participants who take elinzanetant will take it for 26 weeks. The participants who take the placebo will take it for 12 weeks and then take elinzanetant for the next 14 weeks. During the study, the participants will visit the site approximately 9 times and perform 1 visit by phone. Each participant will be in the study for approximately 36 weeks. The treatment duration will be 26 weeks. During the study, the participants will: * record information about the participants' hot flashes in an electronic diary * answer questions about the participants' symptoms The doctors will: * check the participants' health * take blood samples * ask the participants questions about what medicines the participants are taking and if the participants are having adverse events An adverse event is any medical problem that a participant has during a study. Doctors keep track of all adverse events that happen in studies, even if doctors do not think the adverse events might be related to the study treatments.

Pilot Study of Stellate Ganglion Injection to Provide Relief From Hot Flushes
Description

This study is being done to determine whether stellate ganglion injection with local anesthetic (the study procedure) can reduce the number and severity of hot flashes in women who have hot flashes. Hot flashes can have a significant impact on daily living, disrupt sleep, and lead to fatigue and irritability during the day. Hot flashes are the most common reason that women seek hormonal therapy. However, for many women, including breast cancer survivors, this is rarely an option, and these women seek alternatives to hormonal therapy to treat hot flashes. The study procedure has been in clinical use for more than fifty years in treating certain disease states and chronic pain. The study procedure has not been used to relieve hot flashes and the use of the study procedure with local anesthetic for the reduction of hot flushes is considered experimental.

RECRUITING
A Study Following Women in Menopause Treated With a Non-hormonal Therapy for Hot Flashes and Night Sweats
Description

Hot flashes and night sweats (also known as vasomotor symptoms or VMS) are the most common symptoms which bother women in menopause. This study will follow women going through menopause who have hot flashes and night sweats that cause them bother. They will be starting a non-hormonal therapy prescribed by their healthcare provider (HCP) to treat these symptoms. The women will visit their HCP's office, research center, or both. They will receive prescriptions for the non-hormonal therapy from their HCP for up to 1 year. This real-world study will provide information on outcomes from various non-hormonal therapies. The study sponsor (Astellas) will not decide which therapy the women receive. However, the sponsor will provide instructions on when the women visit their clinic, and what is recorded during the study. Some of the visits will be in-person, but most will be virtual. The virtual visits can be carried out at home using a smartphone, tablet or computer. The main aim of the study is to check if the hot flashes and night sweats that bother women change after 12 weeks (3 months) of treatment. The study will also check the women's sleep patterns, their productivity at work, and their general well-being before and after starting treatment. The overall safety of the non-hormonal therapies will also be examined.

A Study to Find Out How Safe Long-term Treatment With Fezolinetant is in Women With Hot Flashes Going Through Menopause
Description

This study was for women in menopause with hot flashes. Menopause, a normal part of aging, was the time of a woman's last period. Hot flashes can interrupt a woman's daily life. The purpose of this study was to find out how safe it is for these women to take fezolinetant in long term (up to 52 weeks). To do that, the study looked at the number and severity of the "adverse events." Those were the side effects that study participants had while they were in the study. The study treatments were fezolinetant 30 milligrams (mg) (1 tablet of fezolinetant and 1 placebo tablet) once a day, fezolinetant 45 mg (2 tablets of fezolinetant) once a day or placebo (2 tablets) once a day. (Placebo was a dummy treatment that looked like medicine but did not have any medicine in it.) Women in this study were picked for 1 of the 3 study treatments by chance alone. The study participants took study treatment for 52 weeks. This study was "double-blinded." That means that the study participants and the study doctors did not know who took which of the study treatments (fezolinetant 30 mg, fezolinetant 45 mg or placebo). At weeks 2 and 4 and then once a month, the study participants went to the hospital or clinic for a check-up. They were asked about medications, side effects and how they felt. Other checks included physical exam and vital signs (heart rate, temperature and blood pressure). Blood and urine were collected for laboratory tests. At some study visits, study participants completed questionnaires that were about their quality of life. At the first and last study visits, they had a dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA for short) test done. To measure bone loss in the hips and spine, DXA created pictures of the inside of these areas with low-dose x-rays. (The dose was approximately one-tenth of the amount of a normal chest x-ray.) Study participants who still had their uterus had 2 more tests done at the first and last study visits. One of the 2 tests was endometrial biopsy. This test involved removing a small amount of tissue from the inside lining of the uterus. The tissue was then checked under a microscope. The other test was transvaginal ultrasound. It used sound waves to create pictures of the organs in the pelvis. The sound waves were transmitted by a probe (transducer), which was placed inside the vagina. Study participants might have had a screening mammogram done at the first and/or last study visit. A mammogram is an x-ray picture of the breasts used to screen for breast cancer. Study participants who did not had this test done in the last 12 months had it done at the first study visit. They had done at the last study visit if they were due for their screening mammogram and their own doctor agreed. The last check-up at the hospital or clinic was at 3 weeks after the last dose of study treatment.

The study treatments were fezolinetant 30 milligrams (mg) (1 tablet of fezolinetant and 1 placebo tablet) once a day, fezolinetant 45 mg (2 tablets of fezolinetant) once a day or placebo (2 tablets) once a day. (Placebo was a dummy treatment that looks like medicine but did not had any medicine in it.) The study compared fezolinetant and placebo after 4 and 12 weeks of dosing. The study evaluated if fezolinetant reduces the number of hot flashes. And the study evaluated if fezolinetant reduces the severity of the hot flashes. Women in the study received an electronic handheld device at the first study visit. (It was similar to a smart phone.) Each day of the study, study participants used this to record their hot flashes. Their record for the 10 days before the start of study treatment was checked. They remained in the study if their record shown 7 or 8 moderate to severe hot flashes per day (50 or more per week). Next, they were picked for 1 of the 2 study treatments (fezolinetant or placebo) by chance alone. It was like flipping a coin. The study participants took study treatment for 52 weeks. The first 12 weeks of study treatment are "double-blinded." That means that the study participants and the study doctors did not knew who took which of the study treatments (fezolinetant 30 mg, fezolinetant 45 mg or placebo) during that time. The last 40 weeks of study treatment are "noncontrolled." That means that each study participant and the study doctors knew which study treatment that study participant took during that time. Women who took fezolinetant during the first 12 weeks continued to take the same dose. Women who took placebo during the first 12 weeks took fezolinetant. Their dose was either 30 mg or 45 mg fezolinetant. At weeks 2, 4, 8, 12, 14, 16 and then once a month, the study participants visited the hospital or clinic for a check-up.

Effects of Stellate Ganglion Block on Hot Flashes in Hispanic Women With Breast Cancer
Description

Vasomotor symptoms (hot flashes, night sweats, VMS) affect up to 65% of breast cancer survivors and negatively impact their quality of life. VMS in Hispanic women are significantly more severe as compared to non-Hispanic Caucasian women. Few effective treatments for VMS are available, especially in the underserved Hispanic and Spanish-speaking populations which is problematic, as Hispanics will comprise 20% of the U.S. population by 2025. Stellate ganglion nerve block (SGB) with local anesthetic, previously performed for chronic pain indications, has shown promise as a potential treatment for menopausal women with VMS in previous clinical trials, but has not been investigated in Hispanic or Spanish-Speaking women with breast cancer in a controlled study.
