项目摘要

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This application proposes a clinical trial within a network of scientists who are highly knowledgeable about the menopausal transition and experienced in the conduct of women's health trials in order to fulfill the main objective of this RFA, which is to accelerate the identification of effective remedies to relieve vasomotor symptoms. This application is submitted in conjunction with the network titled "The Menopausal Symptoms Initiative - Finding Lasting Answers to Sweats and Hot Flashes" (MSI-FLASH). The Data Coordinating Center (DCC) of the network is led by A. LaCroix and G. Anderson, who have served as Co-Principal Investigators of the Women's Health, Initiative, Clinical Coordinating Center (Seattle) for more than a decade. The MSI-FLASH network has 5 clinical field sites located in Boston (L. Cohen and H. Jaffe, PIs), Indianapolis (J Carpenter, PI),Oakland, CA (B Sternfeld and B Caan, PIs),Philadelphia (E. Freeman, PI) and Seattle (K Newton and S Reed, PIs). This multi disciplinary investigator group proposes 5 randomized controlled trials that test a range of behavioral, mind-body, hormonal and pharmacologic interventions for menopausal hot flashes. This field site proposes a randomized, placebo-controlled trial to determine the efficacy of a serotonergic reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) for reducing hot flashes associated with menopause and determine the effects of known covariates of hot flashes in treatment response. The specific aims are to 1) Determine the efficacy of the SSRI escitalopram compared with placebo in reducing the frequency, severity and bothersomeness of hot flashes; 2) Determine associations of baseline measures of anxiety, depressed mood, poor sleep, perceived stress, menopausal stage and race with improvement of hot flashes; 3) Determine whether changes in anxiety and depressed mood during treatment are associated with decreases in hot flashes with escitalopram compared to placebo; 4) Determine the time course for improvement of hot flashes with escitalopram compared to placebo. Approximately 180 women will be randomized to double-blind treatment, and enrollment will be stratified to obtain equal numbers of African American and white women. It is expected that 3 other field sites of the Network will also conduct this protocol, providing a collaborative and multi disciplinary approach, diverse populations and a rapid completion of the treatment protocol. Increased information about treatment efficacy and the factors associated with treatment response, including whether there are racial differences in response to treatment, will lead to better therapeutic strategies for women who experience distressing and disruptive menopausal symptoms. Information about responses to a serotonergic treatment may increase understanding of associations between hot flashes and the serotonergic system.

描述（由申请人提供）：本申请提议在一个对更年期过渡非常了解并且在进行妇女健康试验方面经验丰富的科学家网络中进行一项临床试验，以实现本 RFA 的主要目标，即加速确定缓解血管舒缩症状的有效疗法。该申请是与名为“更年期症状倡议 - 寻找出汗和潮热的持久答案”(MSI-FLASH) 的网络联合提交的。该网络的数据协调中心 (DCC) 由 A. LaCroix 和 G. Anderson 领导，他们十多年来一直担任妇女健康倡议临床协调中心（西雅图）的联合首席研究员。 MSI-FLASH 网络拥有 5 个临床现场站点，分别位于波士顿（L. Cohen 和 H. Jaffe，PI）、印第安纳波利斯（J Carpenter，PI）、加利福尼亚州奥克兰（B Sternfeld 和 B Caan，PI）、费城（E.弗里曼，PI）和西雅图（K Newton 和 S Reed，PI）。这个多学科研究小组提出了 5 项随机对照试验，测试一系列针对更年期潮热的行为、身心、激素和药物干预措施。该现场网站提出了一项随机、安慰剂对照试验，以确定血清素再摄取抑制剂 (SSRI) 对于减少与更年期相关的潮热的功效，并确定已知的潮热协变量对治疗反应的影响。具体目标是 1) 确定 SSRI 艾司西酞普兰与安慰剂相比在降低潮热频率、严重程度和烦人程度方面的功效； 2) 确定焦虑、抑郁情绪、睡眠质量差、感知压力、更年期和种族等基线指标与潮热改善的关系； 3) 确定治疗期间焦虑和抑郁情绪的变化是否与艾司西酞普兰与安慰剂相比潮热减少有关； 4) 确定艾司西酞普兰与安慰剂相比改善潮热的时间过程。大约 180 名女性将被随机分配接受双盲治疗，并对入组情况进行分层，以获得同等数量的非裔美国女性和白人女性。预计该网络的其他 3 个现场站点也将执行该方案，提供协作和多学科方法、多样化人群并快速完成治疗方案。更多关于治疗效果和与治疗反应相关的因素（包括对治疗的反应是否存在种族差异）的信息将为经历痛苦和破坏性更年期症状的女性带来更好的治疗策略。有关血清素能治疗反应的信息可能会增加对潮热与血清素能系统之间关联的理解。
