A Phase 3, Randomized, Double-blind, Placebo-controlled, Multi-center Trial to Evaluate the Safety and Efficacy of TX-004HR in Postmenopausal Women With Moderate to Severe Symptoms of Vulvar and Vaginal Atrophy

This study will assess the safety and efficacy of a new formulation of vaginal estradiol for
the treatment of symptoms of vulvar and vaginal atrophy in postmenopausal women.


Inclusion Criteria:

1. Postmenopausal female subjects between the ages of 40 and 75 years (at the time of
randomization) with at least:

- 12 months of spontaneous amenorrhea (women <55 years of age with a history of
hysterectomy without bilateral oophorectomy prior to natural menopause must have
follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) levels > 40 mIU/mL), OR

- 6 months of spontaneous amenorrhea with follicle stimulating hormone (FSH)
levels > 40mlU/mL OR

- At least 6 weeks postsurgical bilateral oophorectomy.

2. ≤5% superficial cells on vaginal cytological smear

3. Vaginal pH > 5.0

4. Moderate to severe symptom of vaginal pain associated with sexual activity considered
the most bothersome vaginal symptom by the subject at screening visit 1A.

5. Moderate to severe symptom of vaginal pain associated with sexual activity at
screening visit 1B.

6. Onset of moderate to severe dyspareunia in the postmenopausal years.

7. Subjects should be sexually active (i.e. have sexual activity with vaginal
penetration within approximately 1 month of screening visit 1A).

8. Subjects should anticipate having sexual activity (with vaginal penetration) during
the conduct of the trial.

9. For subjects with an intact uterus: Subjects must have an acceptable result from an
evaluable screening endometrial biopsy.

10. Subjects who have a Body Mass Index (BMI) less than or equal to 38 kg/m2. BMI values
should be rounded to the nearest integer (ex. 32.4 rounds down to 32, while 26.5
rounds up to 27).

11. In the opinion of the investigator, the subject will comply with the protocol and has
a high probability of completing the study.

1. Oral estrogen-, progestin-, androgen-, or SERM-containing drug products within 8
weeks before screening visit 1A (can enter washout);

2. Use of transdermal hormone products within 4 weeks before screening visit 1A
(can enter washout);

3. Use of vaginal hormone products (rings, creams, gels) within 4 weeks before
screening visit1A (can enter washout);

4. Use of intrauterine progestins within 8 weeks before screening visit 1A (can
enter washout);

5. Use of progestin implants/injectables or estrogen pellets/injectables within 6
months before screening visit 1A (cannot enter washout);

6. Use of vaginal lubricants or moisturizers within 7 days before the screening
visit 1B vaginal pH assessment.

2. A history or active presence of clinically important medical disease that might
confound the study or be detrimental to the subject, examples include:

exception of basal cell carcinoma of the skin or squamous cell carcinoma of the
skin. A history of estrogen dependent neoplasia, breast cancer, melanoma or any
gynecologic cancer, at any time, excludes the subject;

9. Endocrine disease (except for controlled hypothyroidism or controlled
non-insulin dependent diabetes mellitus).

3. Recent history of known alcohol or drug abuse.

4. History of sexual abuse or spousal abuse that, in the opinion of the PI, may
interfere with the subject's assessment of vaginal pain with sexual activity.

5. Current history of Heavy smoking (more than 15 cigarettes per day) or use of
e-cigarettes.

6. Use of an intrauterine device within 12 weeks before screening visit 1A.

7. Use of an investigational drug within 60 days before screening visit 1A.

8. Any clinically important abnormalities on screening physical exam, assessments, ECG,
or laboratory tests, such as:

1. Unresolved cervical cytologic smear report of atypical glandular cells of
undetermined significance (AGUS) or atypical squamous cells of undetermined
significance (ASCUS).

Cervical cytologic smear report of low-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion
(SIL) or greater, CIN1 or greater, or any reported dysplasia; Subjects with
ASCUS are eligible only if high risk human papilloma virus (HPV) result is
negative.

2. Unresolved findings suspicious for malignancy on the breast exam; incomplete
mammogram result (BI-RADS 0) or unresolved findings suggestive of malignant
changes or findings requiring short interval follow-up on the prestudy mammogram
(subjects must have mammography result of BI-RADS 1 or 2 to enroll.) Mammogram
may be performed within 9 months prior to Visit 2 (randomization) with
documentation available. (The site must obtain a copy of the official report for
the subject's study file, and it must be verified that the mammogram itself is
available if needed for additional assessment);

3. In subjects with intact uterus: have a screening endometrial biopsy sample that
is found by both primary pathologists to have endometrial tissue insufficient
for diagnosis, no endometrium identified, or no tissue identified. (With the
approval of the Medical Monitor, the screening endometrial biopsy may be
repeated once);

4. In subjects with intact uterus: an endometrial biopsy report by one central
pathologist at screening with one of the following:

- Endometrial hyperplasia endometrial cancer, proliferative endometrium,
weakly proliferative endometrium, disordered proliferative pattern; OR

- Endometrial polyps with hyperplasia, glandular atypia of any degree (e.g.,
atypical nuclei) or cancer;

5. Vulvar or vaginal inflammatory condition such as a contact or allergic
dermatitis, lichen sclerosis or other pathological findings;

6. Presence of suspicious vulvar or vaginal lesions for dysplasia, malignancy or
other pathology other than atrophy;
