Sex: FEMALEMin age: 40 YearsMax age: 75 Years

Medical Language ↔ Plain English

Inclusion Criteria: * Participant is diagnosed with bothersome VMS due to/associated with menopause for at least 3 months based on a standard of care assessment captured in consultation with an HCP including the participant's history, routine physical examination, and routine laboratory assessments. * HCP has made the clinical decision to begin pharmacologic treatment with a non-HT including, a selective neurokinin 3 receptor (NK3-R) antagonist, an SSRI, SNRI, gabapentin, clonidine, pregabalin, oxybutynin or other non-HT, as part of the standard treatment for VMS. This may be the first course of treatment, a restart or a switch from one drug (HT/non- HT) to another non-HT. A restart or switch of a previous therapy requires a minimum of a 10-day period not on therapy/washout period prior to pre-baseline. * Participant's health status is stable based on their medical history and general physical exam and determined to be a candidate for treatment with non-HTs. * If participant has been prescribed an SSRI or SNRI for the treatment of depression or anxiety, they must be on a stable or consistent dose for a minimum of 3 months prior to screening. * Participant has a negative urine pregnancy test at screening if not post-menopausal. * Only for participants utilizing complementary and alternative therapies, mind-body techniques, or supplements for the treatment of VMS: participant has been on such therapies for ≥ 3 months prior to screening and intends to continue through duration of study. * Confirmation has been made that the participant is able to obtain the prescribed non hormonal therapy (e.g., insurance coverage verified, participant has ability to self pay, or patient support program activated for at least 12 months for the uninsured participants, if applicable). Exclusion Criteria: * Participant is currently enrolled in any interventional or non-interventional wearable device study. * Participant has any condition which makes the participant unsuitable for the study. * Participant has a contraindication to the non-HT they are being prescribed for the treatment of VMS. * Participant is currently taking hormonal contraceptives or other systemic HTs (including estrogen and/or progesterone, and/or testosterone preparations) and has not had a 10-day washout period prior to pre-baseline (vaginal/local estrogen preparations and levonorgestrel-releasing intrauterine system are not prohibited). * Participant has presence of moderately severe or severe depression per standard of care assessment utilizing a standardized depression screening tool. * Participant is currently pregnant or planning to become pregnant. * Participant is post-menopausal and has a history of unexplained uterine bleeding within the last 6 months. * Participant has pre-existing uncontrolled thyroid disease. * Participant has unstable angina or participant has uncontrolled hypertension based on a standard of care assessment. * Participants who do not meet these criteria may be re-assessed after initiation or review of antihypertensive measures. * Participants with a medical history of hypertension can be enrolled once they are medically clear (stable and compliant). * Participant has had insomnia unrelated to either menopause or bothersome VMS due to/associated with menopause. * Participant has known substance abuse or alcohol addiction within 6 months of screening. * Participant has been on intramuscular estradiol within 8 weeks of screening. * Participant has a current diagnosis of a malignancy or history of a malignancy within the past 2 years (This does not include basal cell carcinoma or breast cancer.) * Participants with metastatic (Stage 4) breast cancer. * Participants who have been prescribed adjuvant endocrine therapy (tamoxifen or aromatase inhibitors with or without gonadotropin-releasing hormone analogues) for their non-metastatic (stage 0 to 3) breast cancer but have not maintained a stable treatment regimen for at least 3 months prior to screening. * Participant has initiated hormone pellet therapy within 6 months of screening.

Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

Mean change from baseline to week 12 in symptom bother measured by the Menopause-Specific Quality of Life Domain (MENQoL) 1-week recall VMS domain score

The MENQoL is a 29-item patient reported outcome (PRO) measure that assesses the impact of 4 domains of menopausal symptoms: vasomotor, psychosocial, physical, and sexual. Each item score ranges from 1 to 8, and each domain is scored separately; each domain mean ranges from 1 to 8. Higher scores represent more bothersome menopausal symptoms. A reduction (improvement) of 1 is the minimum clinically important difference for the MENQoL.

Time frame: Baseline and week 12

Secondary Outcomes

Percentage of participants classified as 1-point responders as measured by the MENQol 1-week recall VMS domain

Participants with a reduction (improvement) in symptom bother score ≥ 1 unit will be classified as 1-point responders.

Time frame: Up to week 52

Percentage of participants classified as 2-point responders as measured by the MENQol 1-week recall VMS domain

Participants with a reduction (improvement) in symptom bother score ≥ 2 unit will be classified as 2-point responders.

Time frame: Up to week 52

Mean change from baseline in total score of Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System Sleep Disturbance Sexual Function (PROMIS SD SF) 8b

The PROMIS SD SF 8b assesses self-reported sleep disturbance over the past 7 days and includes perceptions of restless sleep; satisfaction with sleep; refreshing sleep; difficulties sleeping, getting to sleep or staying asleep; amount of sleep; and sleep quality. Responses to each of the 8 items range from 1 to 5, and the range of possible summed raw scores is 8 to 40. Higher scores on the PROMIS SD SF 8b indicate more of the concept measured (disturbed sleep).

Time frame: Baseline and weeks 4, 8, 12, 24 and 52

Total score from Patient Global Impression of Severity (PGI-S) of SD

The PGI-S SD evaluates patient perceived severity of sleep disturbance. Ratings range from (1) no problems to (4) severe problems.

Time frame: Up to week 52

Total score from Patient Global Impression of Change (PGI-C) of SD

PGI-C SD evaluates patient perceived change in sleep disturbance from the initiation of treatment. Ratings range from (1) much better to (7) much worse.

Mean change from baseline in the VMS-related work productivity and activity impairment (WPAI-VMS) domain score

The WPAI-VMS is a 6-item PRO measure that examines VMS-related work productivity and activity in the preceding 7 days. It consists of 4 domains: absenteeism, presenteeism, overall work productivity loss, and activity impairment. WPAI-VMS outcomes are expressed as impairment percentages, with higher numbers indicating greater impairment and less productivity (that is, worse outcomes).

Time frame: Baseline to weeks 4, 8, 12, 24 and 52

Mean change from baseline in the female sexual function index (FSFI) domain score

The FSFI is comprised of 19 questions with response options varying among items and ranging from 0 to 5 or 1 to 5. The FSFI has 6 domains: desire, arousal, lubrication, orgasm, satisfaction and pain. Within the individual domains, a domain score of zero indicates that the participant-reported having no sexual activity during the past month. The overall score can range from 2 to 36. A higher score overall or for individual domains indicates better sexual function.

Time frame: Baseline to weeks 4, 8, 12, 24 and 52

An AE is considered "serious" if, in the view of either the investigator or sponsor, it: Results in death, is life-threatening, results in persistent or significant disability/incapacity or substantial disruption of the ability to conduct normal life functions, is a congenital anomaly or birth defect of a child conceived during the exposure of one of the parents to the drug studied, requires inpatient hospitalization or leads to prolongation of hospitalization, is a medically important event or reaction.

Time frame: Up to 52 weeks
