DrugA melanocortin agonist and synthetic peptide analog of the naturally occurring hormone alpha-MSH (melanocyte-stimulating hormone)
Other names: BMT, PT-141
NCT Number: NCT02333071
A Phase 3, Randomized, Double-blind, Placebo-controlled, Parallel-group Trial with an optional Open-label Extension to evaluate the efficacy of bremelanotide (BMT), administered subcutaneously (SC) on an as needed basis for the treatment of HSDD (with or without decreased arousal) in premenopausal females.

Phase 3
Palatin Clinical Site 304, Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada
This will be a multicenter, randomized, placebo-controlled, parallel group study in up to 80 sites in the United States of America (USA) and Canada to evaluate the efficacy and safety of a fixed dose of SC BMT versus placebo on an as-needed basis under conditions of home use in premenopausal women with HSDD (with or without decreased arousal).
The study will consist of 2 phases: (1) Core Study: 4-week no-treatment qualification period, a 4-week single-blind placebo treatment period (baseline), and a 24-week double-blind treatment period where participants will self-administer placebo or BMT 1.75 mg SC via an autoinjector; and (2) Extension Phase: a 52-week open-label treatment period during which all subjects will receive BMT 1.75 mg.

Placebo
Other names: PBO
Time frame: 8 weeks baseline plus 24 weeks (Main Study), 52 Weeks (OLE)
As measured by change from baseline to end-of-study in the desire domain from the FSFI (Question Q1 and Q2), 28-day recall, co-primary endpoint - FSFI desire domain.
FSFI = Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI): a multidimensional self-report instrument for the assessment of female sexual function. Its six subscales assess desire, arousal, lubrication, orgasm, satisfaction, and pain, by summing individual items that comprise the subscale and multiplying the sum by a factor, resulting in a score ranging from 1.2 to 6. Increasing scores on this scale represent an increase in sexual desire and is a positive outcome.
Time frame: 8 weeks baseline plus 24 weeks (Main Study), 52 Weeks (OLE)
As measured by the change from baseline to End-of-Study of the Core Study in the bothered by low desire item from the FSDS-DAO (Female Sexual Distress Scale - Desire Arousal Orgasm) (item 13).: co-primary endpoint - FSDS-DAO bothered by low desire item 13.
Responses range from 0 (never) to 4 (always). Decreasing scores on this scale represent an increase in sexual desire (positive outcome).
Time frame: 8 weeks baseline plus 24 weeks (Main Study), 52 Weeks (OLE)
Patient's change, from baseline to end of study (EOS), in the number of Satisfying Sexual Events (SSEs), as measured by a response of 'Yes' to question 10 (Q10) of the Female Sexual Encounter Profile-Revised questionnaire (FSEP-R). The end point was calculated as the number of events during the last 4 weeks of treatment with Q10 = Yes minus the number of baseline events with Q10 = Yes.
Time frame: 8 weeks baseline plus 24 weeks (Main Study), 52 Weeks (OLE)
Scores range from 0 (no desire) to 3 (high desire) for an individual encounter. Change from baseline is computed as the mean of the scores from all encounters for a subject in the last 28 days minus the mean of the scores from all encounters for the subject in the last 28 days before Visit 3. Only FSEP-R data pertaining to encounters recorded within 72 hours of the encounter are included.
Time frame: 8 weeks baseline plus 24 weeks (Main Study), 52 Weeks (OLE)
Patient's change, from baseline to end of study (EOS), in mean satisfaction with desire score, as measured by a response to question 4 (Q4) of the Female Sexual Encounter Profile-Revised questionnaire (FSEP-R). Responses range from 1 (Not at all satisfied) to 4 (Completely satisfied).
Time frame: 8 weeks baseline plus 24 weeks (Main Study), 52 Weeks (OLE)
FSDS-DAO = Female Sexual Distress Scale - Desire/Arousal/Orgasm Scores range from 0 (never feel bothered) to 60 (always feel bothered).
Time frame: 8 weeks baseline plus 24 weeks (Main Study), 52 Weeks (OLE)
FSFI = Female Sexual Function Index: a multidimensional self-report instrument for the assessment of female sexual function.
The FSFI total score is on a scale ranging from 2 to 36. Increasing scores on this scale represent an increase in sexual desire and is a positive outcome.
Time frame: 8 weeks baseline plus 24 weeks (Main Study), 52 Weeks (OLE)
FSEP-R=Female Sexual Encounter Profile - Revised Scores range from 0 (not at all aroused) to 3 (highly aroused) for an individual encounter. A higher score indicates a better outcome.
Time frame: 8 weeks baseline plus 24 weeks (Main Study), 52 Weeks (OLE)
FSEP-R=Female Sexual Encounter Profile - Revised Scores range from 0 (not at all aroused) to 3 (highly aroused) for an individual encounter. A higher score indicates a better outcome.
Time frame: 8 weeks baseline plus 24 weeks (Main Study), 52 Weeks (OLE)
FSDS-DAO = Female Sexual Distress Scale-Desire/Arousal/Orgasm. The outcome reported is the mean score from the 15-item self assessment. The result is on a scale ranging from 0 ("never") to 4 ("always").
A higher score indicates a worse outcome.
Time frame: 8 weeks baseline plus 24 weeks (Main Study), 52 Weeks (OLE)
FSFI = Female Sexual Function Index: a multidimensional self-report instrument for the assessment of female sexual function.
The score is on a scale ranging from 1.2 to 6. Increasing scores on this scale represent an increase in sexual desire and is a better outcome.
Time frame: 8 weeks baseline plus 24 weeks (Main Study), 52 Weeks (OLE)
Change from Baseline to EOS in the total number of satisfying sexual events SSEs that occurred within 16 hours of a study drug dosing and reported within 72 hours. A higher value indicates a better outcome.
Time frame: 24 weeks (Main Study)
FSFI = Female Sexual Function Index: a multidimensional self-report instrument for the assessment of female sexual function.
The score is on a scale ranging from 1.2 to 6. Increasing scores on this scale represent an increase in sexual desire and is a positive outcome.
Time frame: 24 weeks (Main Study)
FSDS-DAO = Female Sexual Distress Scale - Desire/Arousal/Orgasm. The FSDS-DAO is a validated 15-item self-assessment of sexual feelings and problems. The score is on a scale ranging from 0 ("never") to 4 ("always"). A higher score indicates a worse outcome.
The score is the mean change from Baseline observed at EOS (Baseline score - EOS score) for FSDS-DAO Item 13 (feeling bothered by low sexual desire).
Time frame: 24 weeks (Main Study)
Mean change from Baseline to EOS in the number of satisfying sexual events SSEs that occurred within 16 hours of study drug dosing and reported within 72 hours. An increase in number reflects a positive outcome.
