Can a gel ease menopause symptoms that disrupt daily life?
NCT ID NCT07737782
First seen Jul 30, 2026 · Last updated Jul 31, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study examines the most common symptoms of genitourinary syndrome of menopause (GSM) in postmenopausal women and how these symptoms impact quality of life. Researchers will also look at whether using a non-hormonal topical gel called XCM INTIM for at least 8 weeks is linked to changes in symptom severity and quality-of-life measures. The study uses medical records and patient questionnaires to gather data.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- a non-hormonal topical vulvovaginal gel called XCM INTIM
- What this could lead to
- If the data suggest improvement, it could support the use of this gel for easing GSM symptoms and improving quality of life.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, retrospective study that looks back at existing records, so it cannot prove cause and effect. Results may not apply to all women.
