Clinical Trials Experience

Because clinical trials are conducted under widely varying conditions, adverse reaction rates observed in the clinical trials of a drug cannot be directly compared to rates in the clinical trials of another drug and may not reflect the rates observed in practice.

The safety of Synovex S Steer Implants capsules was assessed in a 1-year, Phase 3 trial that included 1,835 postmenopausal women (1684 were treated with Synovex S Steer Implants capsules once daily and 151 women received placebo). Most women (~70%) in the active treatment groups were treated for ≥ 326 days.

Treatment related adverse reactions with an incidence of ≥ 3% in the Synovex S Steer Implants (Synovex S Steer Implants) capsule, 1 mg/100 mg, group and numerically greater than those reported in the placebo group are listed in Table 1.
