Despite effective treatments, there remains a large unmet need for many women suffering from VMS. ~12% of women are contraindicated.1 Presently there are contraindications to MHT for estrogen-dependent cancers and cardiovascular disease.2 Menopause Hormone Therapy (MHT) is an effective treatment for VMS, and the current standard of care. However, there are many women who are contraindicated, have complications, or who choose not to take MHT. ABCL635 ~8% of women discontinue MHT within 12 months.1✝ Commercial Opportunity

Survey question: If you were presented with two products that were equally efficacious and safe, with similar side effect profiles, which of the following would you prefer to take? Antibodies are generally not associated with drug-related liver toxicity.1 ABCL635 does not antagonize NK1R, and is therefore not expected to induce fatigue or somnolence.2, 3, 4, 5 Dosing flexibility Over 50% of women with VMS would prefer an injectable every 4 weeks over a daily oral treatment.6 Increasing use of GLP-1 agonists is significantly increasing the autoinjector-experienced population.
