Summary

The objectives of this study were to evaluate the therapeutic equivalence of the Test formulation, generic Estradiol Vaginal Cream United States Pharmacopoeia (USP), 0.01% (Teva Pharmaceuticals, United States of America) to the marketed product, Estrace® Cream estradiol vaginal cream USP, 0.01% (Warner Chilcott) in participants with atrophic vaginitis; to demonstrate the superiority of the Test and Reference (active) treatments over Placebo (vehicle) cream in participants with atrophic vaginitis; and to compare the safety of Test, Reference, and Placebo treatments in participants with atrophic vaginitis.

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion Criteria

  • Signed Informed Consent Form (ICF) that meets all criteria of current Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regulations.
  • Females aged 30-75 years inclusive who are postmenopausal, defined as follows:
  • At least 12 months of spontaneous amenorrhea or 6 months of spontaneous amenorrhea with serum follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) level of >40 milli-international units per milliliter (mIU/mL); at least 6 weeks post-surgical bilateral oophorectomy, with or without hysterectomy; or hysterectomy without oophorectomy if of age that the Investigator believes would have been naturally reached 12 months of spontaneous amenorrhea.
  • Vaginal pH >5.0.
  • At least 1 of the following participant self-assessed moderate to severe symptoms of vulvar and vaginal atrophy (VVA) from the following list that is identified by the participant as being most bothersome to her:
  • Vaginal Dryness
  • Vaginal and/or vulvar irritation/itching
  • Dysuria
  • Vaginal pain or bleeding associated with sexual activity, provided that participant is currently sexually active and plans to remain so throughout study.
  • "Normal" Screening mammogram completed within 9 months prior to Screening in all participants >40 years old.
  • Normal clinical breast examination at the Screening Visit.
  • Documented papanicolaou (PAP) smear conducted within the previous 12 months with no findings that the Investigator believes would contraindicate the use of topical vaginal estradiol.
  • Participants with an intact uterus should have vaginal ultrasonography results to confirm an inactive endometrial lining, defined as endometrial thickness less than 4 millimeters (mm).

Exclusion Criteria

  • Females younger than 30 years of age or older than 75 years of age.
  • Participants with a Serum follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) level of ≤40 mIU/mL at Screening.
  • Greater than 5% superficial cells on vaginal cytology.
  • Vaginal pH ≤5.
  • Significant history or current evidence of chronic infectious disease, system disorder, organ disorder (including significant liver/kidney impairment) or other medical condition that in the Investigator's opinion would place the study participant at undue risk by participation or could jeopardize the integrity of the study evaluations.
  • Participants with an intact uterus should have vaginal ultrasonography results to confirm an inactive endometrial lining. Participants with an endometrial thickness equal to or greater than 4 mm.
  • Documented PAP smear conducted within the previous 12 months with findings that the Investigator believes would contraindicate the use of topical vaginal estradiol.
  • Participants with known concurrent vaginal infections including but not limited to:

Candida albicans, Trichomonas vaginalis, Chlamydia trachomatis, Neisseria gonorrhea, or Gardnerella vaginalis.

  • Participants with active vaginal herpes simplex infection or have had an outbreak within 30 days of the first dosing day.
  • Participants with known, suspected, or current history of carcinoma of the breast. All participants over the age of 40 must have had a mammogram performed within 9 months of the study start and all participants will have a physical breast exam performed at Screening.
  • Participants with known, suspected or current history of hormone dependent tumor.
  • Participants with baseline systolic blood pressure of >150 millimetres of mercury (mmHg) and/or diastolic pressure >90 mmHg.
  • Any participant with undiagnosed vaginal bleeding or significant risk factors for endometrial cancer.
  • Any history of estrogen-dependent neoplasia (for example, endometrial cancer).
  • History of acute thrombophlebitis or thromboembolic disorder.
  • Any current or recent (within the previous 6 months) genital bleeding of unknown etiology.
  • Any prescription treatment or over-the-counter (OTC) or natural remedies for vaginal dryness/irritation within 28 days of Screening. Products used for lubrication during sexual intercourse within 7 d
