*, One subject randomized to placebo was correctly treated until week 39 when by mistake she received ospemifene 60 mg for weeks 39−52. Since placebo was the correct randomized treatment for this subject, but she also received active drug, her data are included in the placebo group for the ITT population and in the ospemifene group for the safety population. Thus, the safety population includes 62 subjects in the placebo group and 364 subjects in the ospemifene 60 mg group, while the ITT population includes 63 subjects in the placebo group and 363 subjects in the ospemifene 60 mg group
