PH80 induced a significant reduction in the daily number of hot flashes compared to the placebo at the end of the first week of treatment, and the improvement was maintained through each treatment week until the end of the treatment period.

At baseline, subjects reported a mean daily number of hot flashes of 7.7 (PH80, n=18) and 8.0 (placebo, n=18).

After one week of treatment, the number of hot flashes dropped to 2.8 (PH80) and 6.4 (placebo), and after four weeks of treatment, the number of hot flashes dropped to 1.5 (PH80) and 5.1 (placebo).

PH80 treatment also significantly reduced the severity, disruption in function, and sweating related to hot flashes during the treatment period compared to the placebo.
