Designed to evaluate the effects of melanocortin-4 receptor (MC4R) activation on brain activity patterns and behavioural psychometric measures of sexual arousal during visual erotic stimuli in approximately 40 right-handed, heterosexual, premenopausal women aged 18 years and over with Hypoactive Sexual Desire Disorder (HSDD) for at least a 6 month duration.', 'detailedDescription': "The investigators aim to recruit approximately 40 women to allow for subject and technical drop-out, aiming for a minimum of 30 women in the final study who complete the full protocol successfully. The investigators will collaborate with the Sexual Medicine clinic to identify potential participants, as well as advertise via print (including local and regional newspapers, transport network), radio and online advertisements. Additionally, the investigators will liaise with the local Clinical Research Network (CRN) to contact potentially eligible patients via their General Practitioner (GP) surgery (via letter or text message). Potential participants who contact us via advertisements will initially be electronically sent a participant information sheet and self-report questionnaire, to be returned via email. If, following this, they are happy to take part and no obvious exclusion criteria are detected, they will be screened via telephone using a questionnaire. If eligible, they will be invited for a formal screening interview, where further questions regarding the study will be answered. After obtaining consent, a full medical and sexual history will be taken as well as a review of the diagnosis of assessment, an ECG, urinalysis to exclude pregnancy, clinical laboratory testing and completion of psychiatric and psychosexual questionnaires.\n\nEligible participants will then enter the Intervention phase. Participants will be randomised (1:1) to one of two intervention sequences: a single dose of Bremelanotide or matching placebo, administered subcutaneously. All participants will attend for two study visits each, during which they will undergo a functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) scan while receiving either Bremelanotide or placebo. During the scan, participants will be presented with visual erotic stimuli in order to activate the brain, so that Bremelanotide's modulation of the melanocortin system can be measured. The participants will also be asked to use a behavioural potentiometer whilst in the scanner to rate their degree of sexual arousal. The crossover design, which allows participants to serve as their own control, will minimise inter-participant variability. Participants will also be sent a short questionnaire 24-hours after the study to assess the perceived duration of effect of Bremelanotide.\n\nThe MRI data will be processed and analysed using current best practice methods, which will include (but may not be limited to) application of the General Linear Model (GLM) for neuroimaging data. Robust methods of correcting for multiple comparisons (e.g. permutation testing) will be used for statistical analysis and thresholding of the statistical brain images. Brain activation patterns will be presented by intervention and analysed by whole-brain and region of interest (including amygdala, thalamus, posterior cingulate cortex and entorhinal region. Correlations will be explored between brain activation and behavioural data, corrected for visit order as appropriate (including Pearson and Partial Correlation testing)."}, 'eligibilityModule': {'sex': 'FEMALE', 'stdAges': ['ADULT', 'OLDER_ADULT'], 'minimumAge': '18 Years', 'healthyVolunteers': False, 'eligibilityCriteria': 'Inclusion Criteria:\n\n* Heterosexual premenopausal females ≥ 18 years of age with normal menstrual cycles ≤ 35 days.\n* Right hand dominant.\n* Body mass index (BMI) 18-35kg/m2.\n* Currently in a relationship with a male partner and the relationship has been stable for at least 6 months before screening.\n* Male sexual partner classified as "not impotent" on the Massachusetts Male Aging Study (MMAS) single-question assessment of erectile dysfunction.\n* In the subject\'s opinion, previously experienced "normal sexual function," defined as a normal level of desire at some point in the past, for a period of at least 2 years.\n* For all subjects of childbearing potential who are sexually active, agree to routinely use adequate non-hormonal contraception from randomisation throughout the duration of the study and for 30 days after.\n* For at least 6 months before Screening, met the diagnostic criteria for HSDD according to the Diagnostic Screening Guide for HSDD, including categorisation of the sexual dysfunction as both acquired (versus lifelong) and generalised (versus situational).\n* All of the following at Screening:\n\n 1.
