Use of Flibanserin for the Treatment of Sexual Disorders in Females
First Claim
1. A method for treating a sexual disorder in a female patient comprising administering a medication comprising flibanserin or a pharmacologically acceptable derivative thereof whereby the medication of the female patient is selected to achieve a significant change (with administration of a therapeutically effective amount of flibanserin) starting from a baseline (without administration of flibanserin),wherein the significant change is within at least one primary criteria for efficacy, the primary criteria for efficacy being selected from the group consisting of criteria a) and criteria b),wherein:
- criteria a) is the number of satisfying sexual events determined with the following algorithm;
total monthly events=28×
(sum of the number of events)/(sum of number of days entered);
andcriteria b) is the level of sexual desire collected daily determined with the following algorithm;
Desire days=28×
(number of entries with moderate or strong desire)/(number of entries),
wherein the significant change determined by comparing the algorithm of criteria a) with and without administration of flibanserin is represented by a satisfying sexual events increase of at least two per month; and
the significant change determined by comparing the algorithm of criteria b) with and without administration of flibanserin is represented by a desire days increase of at least four per month.
