Plain-language summary
To generate additional long-term safety and efficacy data on flibanserin in premenopausal women and establish long-term safety and tolerability of flibanserin in naturally postmenopausal women with Hypoactive Sexual Desire Disorder who have completed a prior clinical trial of flibanserin (Trial 511.130, 511.147, or 511.156).

Inclusion criteria
. Women with primary diagnosis of Hypoactive Sexual Desire Disorder (HSDD) who completed a prior trial of flibanserin. Such completion requires compliance with trial medication and the trial visit schedule including any post-treatment visits required in that clinical trial. Early discontinuation for any reason disqualifies the patient from entry into this trial. Patients must enroll in this study within 7 days after completing the final visit of the parent trial.
. The premenopausal patient must use a medically acceptable method of contraception for at least two months before baseline and continue to use medically acceptable method of contraception during the trial.
. Postmenopausal patients must be a naturally postmenopausal woman of any age with at least one ovary. Natural menopause is defined as greater than 12 months of spontaneous amenorrhea.
. In the investigator's opinion, patients must be willing to adhere to trial requirements as well as to be able to perform them.
Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?
Generated to help you prepare — always confirm anything about your own eligibility and care with the study team and your doctor.
Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.

The Frequency of Adverse Events
Timeframe: A 28-week, open-label, safety, extension trial of flibanserin in premenopausal and postmenopausal women with HSDD
. Patients must be able and willing to give meaningful, written informed consent prior to participation in the trial, in accordance with regulatory requirements. Patients must have sufficient understanding to communicate effectively with the investigator, and be willing to discuss sexual functioning with study staff.
Exclusion criteria
. Patients with history of Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) within six months prior to the Screen Visit, or a score of greater than or equal to 14 on the Beck Depression Inventory II (BDI-II), or a history of suicidal behavior or suicidal ideation according to the Columbia-Suicide Severity Rating Scale (C-SSRS®). If a psychiatrist or psychologist, using clinical judgment, believes a patient who scored between 14 and 19 on the BDI®-II is not depressed, the patient may be entered into the trial. NOTE: If a patient reports positive response to BDI®-II Question 9 and/or a Yes response to either C-SSRS® Suicide Ideation section Question 1 and/or 2 and/or any question in the Suicide Behavior section, please refer to Section 5.2.5 for immediate actions required.
. At the Screen Visit, serum alanine aminotransferase, serum aspartate aminotransferase, alkaline phosphatase, or total bilirubin greater than or equal to three times upper limit of normal; blood urea nitrogen greater than or equal to 30 mg/deciliter (dL), plasma creatinine greater than or equal to 2 mg/dL, hemoglobin \<9.5 grams/dL, leukopenia (\<2.5 x 103/microliter \[µL\]), neutropenia (\<1.5 x 103/µL), lymphopenia (\<0.8 x 103/µL), thrombocytopenia (\<100 x 103/µL) or thrombocytosis (\>500 x 103/µL); or random glucose \> upper limit of normal.
. Patients with newly developed, self-reported symptoms after the End of Treatment parent trial visit and at this trial Screen Visit of pelvic inflammatory disease, urinary tract or vaginal infection / vaginitis, cervicitis, interstitial cystitis, vulvodynia, or significant vaginal atrophy.
. Patients with history of any cancer within the last ten years, other than non-invasive, previously resected basal cell carcinoma of the skin.
. Patients whose sexual function was affected by hysterectomy, oophorectomy, or any other pelvic or vaginal surgery.
. Patients who are pregnant (by urine pregnancy test at the Screen Visit) or have been pregnant within the month prior to the Screen Visit or who are breast-feeding or have breast-fed within the last six months prior to the Baseline Visit.
. Patients receiving medication excluded in their prior safety and efficacy trial of flibanserin causing sexual dysfunction or safety-relevant interactions (i.e., antidepressants, anxiolytics, antipsychotics, anticonvulsants, anticoagulants).
. Patients with clinically relevant conditions which might interfere with their ability to participate in the trial.
