Indication body title


Clinical use:

  • Pediatrics (<18 years of age): not indicated.
  • Geriatrics (≥65 years of age): no data available; therefore, an indication has not been recommended.

Contraindications:

  • Known cirrhosis
  • Severe renal impairment or end-stage renal disease
  • Patients using concomitant moderate or strong CYP1A2 inhibitors
  • Known or suspected pregnancy

Relevant warnings and precautions:

  • Benefit-risk consideration to treat women with known or previous breast cancer or other estrogen-dependent malignancies
  • Not recommended in Child-Pugh Class B (moderate) chronic hepatic impairment; not studied in Child-Pugh Class C (severe) chronic hepatic impairment and is not recommended in this population
  • Risk of hepatic transaminase elevation and hepatotoxicity
  • Perform baseline bloodwork to evaluate hepatic function and assess for injury (including serum ALT, serum AST, serum ALP, and serum bilirubin [total and direct]) prior to initiating VEOZAH. Perform hepatic laboratory tests monthly for the first 3 months, at 6 months, and 9 months after initiation of therapy
  • Incidence of other malignancies; a causal relationship between VEOZAH and increased risk of malignancies has not been established
  • Risk of endometrial hyperplasia and endometrial carcinoma. In the VEOZAH 45 mg dose group across the three phase 3 studies, endometrial biopsy assessments identified one case of endometrial hyperplasia and one case of endometrial malignancy (0.6% with a one-sided upper limit of 95% confidence of 1.8%). The rate of these events in the VEOZAH 45 mg dose group was ≤1% with the upper bound of the one-sided 95% confidence limit being ≤4%. There was no case of endometrial hyperplasia or carcinoma in the placebo group
  • Not recommended in breast-feeding women

*Comparative clinical significance unknown.

SKYLIGHT 2 was a Phase 3, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-group, study in which post-menopausal women were randomized to VEOZAH 45 mg (n=167) or placebo (n=167) once daily for 12 weeks. After the 12-week, double-blind treatment period, all patients received VEOZAH for a 40-week extension treatment period with women on placebo re-randomized to VEOZAH to evaluate safety for up to 52 weeks total exposure. The study included post-menopausal women who had a minimum average of 7 moderate to severe VMS per day. The coprimary efficacy endpoints were change from baseline in moderate to severe VMS frequency and severity to weeks 4 and 12. Baseline mean frequency of moderate to severe VMS per 24 hours: 11.8 for VEOZAH, 11.6 for placebo.1

Clinical significance is unknown.
