The Scope of the Problem About 50% (~32 million) of all postmenopausal women in the US have VVA/GSM 1 . . . but only ~7 % are treated 2,3 Many women are unaware that symptoms progress without treatment, and that safe and effective treatments are available 4 1.

FDA Scientific Workshop on Labeling “Lower” Dose Estrogen - Alone Products for Symptoms of VVA - November 10, 2015 1 • “On the topic of the labeling for lower - dose estrogen products delivered vaginally…” • “Lower - dose estrogen products [below 0.625 mg conjugated estrogens used in WHI, and below 0.0375 mg of estradiol products] are now approved for treatment of VVA due to menopause, and some in the scientific/medical community have questioned whether the current ‘Boxed Warnings’ section in the labeling is applicable in whole or in part to these lower - dose estrogen products.” • FDA seeking input on Boxed Warnings section, estrogen exposure data and PK/PD information relative to labeling lower - dose estrogen products… 1. Scientific Workshop on Labeling “Lower” Dose Estrogen - Alone Products for Symptoms of Vulvar and Vaginal Atrophy (VVA) http:/ /www.fda.gov/Drugs/ NewsEvents /ucm459690.htm

 
 

TherapeuticsMD proposal for US Labeling — Governed by Regulations and Guidance • Yuvvexy ™ (TX - 004HR) — Sections of label to be considered for modification • Highlights of Prescribing Information • Boxed Warnings • Contraindications • Warnings and Precautions • Adverse Reactions • Clinical Pharmacology • Clinical Studies • Dosage and Administration • Patient Counseling/Patient Labeling

 
 

Boxed Warning Proposed Elimination or Modifications to Boxed Warning • Estrogen - alone boxed warning information • Propose removal from Boxed Warning • P ropose modified language in the “Warnings and Precautions” Section • Estrogen + Progestin boxed warning information • Propose removal from Boxed Warning • Propose removal or modification throughout the label • Provide data to support that progestin not needed for endometrial protection

 
 

Contraindications • Possible opportunity to remove or modify current Contraindication “Known, suspected, or history of breast cancer”

 
 

Warnings and Precautions • Proposed modification re: “Risks from Systemic Absorption” • Propose modification of each of the current Warnings with draft language such as “When estrogens are used with resulting systemic absorption higher than demonstrated for Yuvvexy ™, an increased risk of XX has been reported” • May need to add “Although Yuvvexy ™ use does not result in the level of systemic exposure associated with this increased risk, long - term safety studies with Yuvvexy ™ are not available.” • Proposed removal of “addition of a Progestin” section

 
 

Adverse Reactions Clinical Pharmacology Clinical Studies • Adverse Reactions tables/listings specific to Yuvvexy ™ clinical trials • Clinical Pharmacology to reflect Yuvvexy ™ pK data ( negligble to very low systemic absorption) • Clinical Studies • Results for co - primary endpoints • May be able to include first efficacy timepoint /onset of action (statistical significance at week 2) • Propose to include vaginal dryness efficacy
