Brief Summary:
The purpose of this research is to gather information on the safety and effectiveness of Intrarosa®, also known as Dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA), and prasterone. By doing this study, the investigators hope to learn if Intrarosa® can improve vaginal discomfort. Participants will be assigned to one of two groups. One group will use Intrarosa® once a day. The other group will use Replens™ two times a week.
Detailed Description:
This will be a two-armed, randomized Phase II trial. All study subjects will be asked to fill out a simple 5-question sexual functioning survey. If any concern about sexual functioning is noted, the subject will also be asked to fill out a more extensive Sexual functioning tool, to help determine which domain of sexual functioning is the most bothersome.
Subjects who complete the initial screening will be randomly assigned to the Intrarosa® or Replens™ arm by a 1:1 ratio. Subjects randomized to the Intrarosa® arm will use 6.5 mg daily for 12 weeks (±1 week). Subjects randomized to the Replens™ arm will use a vaginal applicator two times per week for 12 weeks.
At baseline and at 12 weeks, subjects will undergo a physical exam including clinical breast and gynecological exam. During gynecologic exams, the vaginal Potential of Hydrogen (pH) will be determined and a swab of vaginal epithelium sent for determination of the Vaginal Maturation Index (VMI) and Maturation Value (MV). These will be used as objective physiologic markers to determine the improvement in vaginal atrophy. The cytologist's reading specimens will be blinded.
Additionally, all study subjects will be asked to fill out questionnaires at baseline and again in 12 weeks.
