I got excited when read your comment about possible new treatment for vaginal atrophy - Dare-VVA1. I have a gyn appt tommorrow so thought this is good time to read up on it and ask her about.
Did some research and it may be years before we see it on market. I even went out and looked to see any clinical trails on drug. There was small one (17 very selective participants) done in Australia that ended in March 2023 - NCT05378269.
In Dec 2023, FDA approved the clearance of INVestgation application. From what I read, that is just first part in the 4 phases of drug approval. Each phase can take 1 - 3 years. In each phase they increase the size of clinical trail's till prove drug is effective and safe.
So guess not going to wait for that drug as a solution.
Thanks for telling us about.

I had the Mona Lisa for vaginally dryness. It only lasted a month or two. I use replens now and it works well. It is clear and it does not come out as white on underwear. It has no hormones in it and since I had endometrial cancer. Had hysterectomy almost two years ago. I do not expect a return. Also I had ILC in left breast and am greatful that that it was small and did not have to have radiation nor hormonal block medication. I am happy the replenz works and has no hormones in it.
