Purpose
This trial is designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of 3 fixed dose levels of bremelanotide, administered subcutaneously on an as-needed basis under conditions of home use, for the treatment of female sexual arousal disorder (FSAD), hypoactive sexual desire disorder (HSDD), or mixed FSAD/HSDD in premenopausal women.

| Official Title: | A Placebo-controlled, Randomized, Parallel Group, Dose-finding Trial to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of Subcutaneously Administered Bremelanotide in Premenopausal Women With FSAD and/or HSDD |
- The primary efficacy endpoint is change from baseline to end of study in the number of satisfying sexual events (SSE) [ Time Frame: 4 - 12 weeks from baseline to end of study (total study duration 20 weeks) ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]The primary efficacy endpoint is change from baseline to end of study in the number of satisfying sexual events (SSE), computed as the number of events during the last 4 weeks of treatment with FSEP-R Q10 = 'Yes" minus the number of baseline events with FSEP-R Q10 = 'Yes.'
- A number of secondary efficacy endpoints will also be evaluated regarding bremelanotide effect on arousal, desire, distress associated with arousal and desire, and related endpoints. [ Time Frame: 4-12 weeks from baseline to end of study (total study duration 20 weeks) ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
- Change from baseline in the arousal domain (FSDS-DAO)
- Change from baseline in the desire domain (FSDS-DAO)
- Change from baseline in study drug benefit (GAQ)
- Change from baseline in total Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI)
- Change from baseline in the arousal domain (FSFI)
- Change from baseline in satisfaction with arousal (GAQ)
- Change from baseline in the desire domain (FSFI)
- Change from baseline in satisfaction with desire (GAQ)
- Change from baseline in quality of relationship with partner (GAQ)
- Change from baseline in total FSDS-DAO.

Drug: bremelanotide
Subjects will administer drug on an as needed basis, prior to anticipated sexual activity. Investigational product: Bremelanotide aqueous solution for subcutaneous (SC) injection, provided as pre-filled syringes containing 0.75, 1.25, or 1.75 mg in 0.3 mL volume.
