More hopeful news on the menopause front: Bayer announced on Monday encouraging results in two Phase 3 trials for its non-hormonal drug candidate, elinzanetant, meant to treat hot flashes. The results follow the recent market launch of Veozah, Astellas Pharma’s groundbreaking non-hormonal treatment for hot flashes, which was approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration last spring and received approval in the U.K., under the name Veozah, in December.

Elinzanetant is a neurokinin-1 and 3 receptor antagonist, and works by calming down the estrogen receptors in the brain that become hyperactive around menopause, causing hot flashes. The drug, a pill administered once a day, was shown to reduce both the frequency and intensity of hot flashes, and also met the secondary endpoints for improving sleep and quality of life, according to JoAnn Pinkerton, professor of obstetrics and gynecology and director of the Midlife Health at UVA Health, who is a clinical investigator for Bayer’s drug candidate.

Pinkerton said she was excited to see the broader quality of life improvements through elinzanetant: “Women have more than just hot flashes — it’s actually more about hot flushes, sweats, fatigue, lack of sleep and some of the mood changes that go on during [menopause].”
