NCT ID NCT06136208

First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026

Summary

This study looked at how a 25-mg estradiol pellet, placed under the skin, releases estrogen over 24 weeks in 20 postmenopausal women. Researchers took many blood samples to measure hormone levels and understand the pellet's release pattern. The goal was to gather detailed information on how the body absorbs this form of hormone therapy.
