Primary Outcome Measures:
  • Change from baseline to week 12 in percentage of parabasal cells in the maturation index of the vaginal smear [ Time Frame: 12 weeks ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
  • Change from baseline to week 12 in percentage of superficial cells in the maturation index of the vaginal smear [ Time Frame: 12 weeks ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
  • Change from baseline to week 12 in vaginal pH [ Time Frame: 12 weeks ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
  • Change from baseline to week 12 in severity of the most bothersome symptom of vaginal dryness and vaginal pain associated with sexual activity [ Time Frame: 12 weeks ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]

Secondary Outcome Measures:
  • Change from baseline in percentage of parabasal cells in the maturation index [ Time Frame: 4 weeks ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
  • Change from baseline in percentage of superficial cells in the maturation index [ Time Frame: 4 weeks ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
  • Change from baseline in vaginal pH [ Time Frame: Week 4 ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
  • Change from baseline in severity of most bothersome symptom of vaginal dryness and vaginal pain associated with sexual activity [ Time Frame: Week 4 ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
