2002 MAY 16 - (NewsRx.com & NewsRx.net) -- Novavax, Inc., (NVAX) presented the results of a randomized, double-blind, phase III, placebo-controlled clinical trial of Estrasorb in postmenopausal women at the Society for Gynecologic Investigation's 49th Annual Scientific Meeting.

Patients using Estrasorb (estradiol topical emulsion) experienced an 85% reduction in the total number of hot flashes during the course of the trial. The study also found that approximately half the patients reported complete cessation of hot flashes during a 7-day period by week 10 of treatment, while fewer than 10% of patients in the placebo group noticed a similar improvement in symptoms.

The study, which enrolled 200 women who were naturally or surgically menopausal, consisted of a 3-week screening period, a 1-week placebo period, and a 12-week treatment period. A 3-gram dose (approximately 1/2 teaspoon) of Estrasorb with 7.5 mg estradiol (100 patients) or placebo emulsion (100 patients) was applied daily to each thigh and calf. Hot flash data was collected and recorded in a patient diary.
