1 Efficacy and Tolerability of Antidepressant Duloxetine for Treatment of Hot Flushes in Menopausal Women Irina Shestakova, MD, PhD Research Center of Obstetrics, Gynecology and Perinatology Department of Gynecological Endocrinology Out-patient Climacteric Clinic Moscow, Russia Training Course in Reproductive Health Research WHO 2007
2 Hot flushes - Background and Significance The most bothersome symptom of menopause May last up to 15 years after menopause Are more severe in women who underwent ovarectomy Associated with a diminished sense of well-being as a result of fatigue, irritability, poor concentration and anxiety Severely affect quality of life
3 Hot Flushes Overall incidence Premenopause 25% Perimenopause 69% Late postmenopause 39% Large cross-cultural variability in prevalence North American women (black>white) 70% Dutch women 80% Chinese women 18% Mayan women in Mexico 0% No data in Russian population (personal experience - up to 60% of women who visit Climacteric Clinic )
4 Patient Population Mean age of menopause is 51 years Life expectancy for women is 67 years Career goals are achieved Loss of spouse - life expectancy for men 59 years This age is related to the first grand child Most patients seeing neurologists and psychiatrists for depression are menopausal women
5 History of Treatment of Hot flushes in Russia Before 1990 Wait and it will go away Very rarely methyltestosterone Low doses of contraceptive pills Belladonna alkaloids Neuroanalgesia Early 1990s Russian Menopause Society founded - Clinical recommendation on treatment of menopausal symptoms Publication of WHI results First clinical experience with hormone replacement therapy in Russia Hormone therapy gold standard Alternative therapy herbal meds First anecdotal experience with antidepressants Searching for evidence of its efficacy and safety
6 Hot Flashes Treatment Hormone therapy (Estrogens, progestins) - Gold standard Different non-hormonal agents: - methyldopa - propranolol - vitamin E - belladonna alkaloids - clonidine - gabapentin - soy and different herbal preparations - antidepressants (SSRIs and SNRIs)
7 Antidepressants SSRIs (serotonin reuptake inhibitors) citalopram fluoxetine fluvoxamine paroxetine sertraline dapoxetine SNRIs (serotonin-norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors) venlafaxine duloxetine
8 Candidates for Alternative Treatment Women with clear contraindications to hormone therapy - breast cancer survivals - significant cardiovascular pathology - varicose vein disease, - diabetes - obesity - history, including familial, of GYN malignancies Women with negative attitude towards hormones
9 Literature Search Results (PubMed, Cochrane Database) No systematic review were found in Cochrane Library 2 Cochrane Database protocols for review on this topic is currently being developed in general menopausal women and breast cancer survivals populations 1 systematic review and meta-analysis 13 original articles on 6 antidepressants were retrieved and reviewed. No trials were found on such antidepressants as dapoxetin or duloxetine.

14 Reasons for Selection of Duloxetine Few trials in general population of menopausal women No trial on direct comparison of antidepressants versus hormone therapy for hot flushes Duloxetine is a member of SNRIs (as Venlafaxine) Duloxetine has shown appropriate safety in women with stress urinary incontinence Mariappan P, Ballantyne Z, N Dow JMO, Alhasso AA. Serotonin and noradrenaline reuptake inhibitors (SNRI) for stress urinary incontinence in adults. Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews 2005
15 Study Outline Population: Menopause women with hot flushes Intervention: Duloxetine Comparison: Estrogen-progestogen hormone therapy Outcomes: Primary: Frequency and Severity of hot flushes - Assessed using Climacteric Scale Secondary: - Intensity of depression symptoms - Assessed using Hamilton s Depression Scale - Drop-out rate, reasons for drop-out - Tolerability
16 Clinical Trial Design Pilot Randomized Open 50 menopausal women with hot flashes Randomly assigned to receive: Antidepressant - Duloxetine, 60 mg, PO, once daily OR Cyclic hormonal therapy - Estradiol 1mg + Dydrogesterone 10mg, once daily
17 Eligibility Criteria Inclusion criteria Healthy menopausal women who are presented with the main complain of moderate or severe hot flushes and are seeking therapy for this reason Age 40-55, no history of hysterectomy or ovarectomy Exclusion criteria Treatment with other antidepressants, somnoleptics, any herbal or other complementary products for alleviating hot flushes Treatment with warfarin, sibutramine or tramadol (drug interaction) Contraindications to sex steroids
18 Conclusion This pilot trial will be the first experience of using evidence based medicine methodology to determine the alternative treatment options for menopausal hot flushes It will provide a therapeutic alternative for women with contraindications for conventional hormone therapy, non-responders to hormone therapy as well as general gynecologists, endocrinologists, oncologists and neurologists who are involved in medical care of this population We do not treat hot flushes, we treat women with hot flushes
