About this study

Official title: The Effect of Conjugated Estrogens/ Bazedoxifene (CE/ BZA) on Peri- and Postmenopausal Mood and Anxiety Symptoms: A Pilot Study

This study evaluates the impact of conjugated estrogens/ bazedoxifene (CE/ BZA) on the mood (depression and anxiety) in peri- and early menopausal women.

Read the detailed description

During the transition to menopause, women are at risk for developing symptoms of depression and anxiety, and impaired sleep. Fluctuation in estrogen levels appears to play a role in this. The investigators suspect that the administration of estrogens without progesterone, such as conjugated estrogens/ bazedoxifene (CE/ BZA), may improve mood symptoms in this population. In 2017, CE/ BZA was approved for menopausal vasomotor symptoms (VMS) in Canada, but the effect on mood were not examined closely.

The investigators propose a pilot study of 30 peri- and early postmenopausal women, currently seeking treatment for symptoms of depression or anxiety. The participants will go through a round of treatment with CE/BZA. The study will last 16 weeks. The study's objectives are to determine primarily if CE/BZA improves mood among peri- and early postmenopausal women, and secondarily if treatment with CE/BZA improves their sleep.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 4 inclusion and 14 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: looking for participants now, as of the sponsor's last update on 3 Dec 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Canada. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Alison Shea, MD (905-521-2100 ext. 33973, ashea@stjosham.on.ca), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Depressive symptoms (time frame: At 4 weeks weeks after beginning study). The study lists 12 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 3 Dec 2024.
