Official Title: Biologic Resp<strong>on</strong>se of Menopausal Wmrnen to 1 7Bt-Eradio<br />

Further study details as provided by Nati<strong>on</strong>al Institute <strong>on</strong> <strong>Aging</strong> (NIA):<br />

Primary Outcomes: rate of change of distal comm<strong>on</strong> carotid artery (CCA) far wall intima-media thickness<br />

(IMT)<br />

Sec<strong>on</strong>dary Outcomes: neurocognitive functi<strong>on</strong><br />

Expected Total Enmollment: 504<br />

Study start: July 2004; Expected completi<strong>on</strong>: June 2009<br />

The primary hypothesis to be tested is that 17B-estradiol (estrogen) will reduce the progressi<strong>on</strong> of early<br />

atherosclerosis if initiated so<strong>on</strong> after menopause when the vascular endothelium (lining of blood vessels) is<br />

relatively healthy versus later when the endothelium has lost its resp<strong>on</strong>siveness to estrogen.<br />

Ultras<strong>on</strong>ography will be used to measure the rate of change in the thickness of the carotid artery.<br />

A total of 504 postmenopausal women will be randomized according to their number of years since<br />

menopause, less than 6 years or 10 years or more, to receive either oral I 7B-estradiol I mg daily or a<br />

placebo. Women with a uterus will also use vaginal progester<strong>on</strong>e gel 4% (or a placebo gel) the last ten<br />

days of each m<strong>on</strong>th. The vaginal progester<strong>on</strong>e will be distributed in a double-blind fashi<strong>on</strong> al<strong>on</strong>g with the
