About this trial
This is an open-label, 3-arm clinical trial evaluating the short-term efficacy and tolerability of Qualia Perimenopause-a multi-ingredient dietary supplement formulated to support perimenopausal symptoms-in healthy women aged 40-55 who are symptomatic but not yet menopausal (menses within the past 12 months). Approximately 120 participants will be allocated across three parallel arms and will take 1 capsule once daily for 28 consecutive days. The primary outcome is between-group change from baseline to day 28 in menopause symptom burden measured by the total Menopause Rating Scale (MRS). Secondary outcomes include within- and between-group changes at days 14 and 28 in cognitive function (PROMIS Cognitive Function v2.0 - Short Form 8a), sleep disturbance (PROMIS), MRS subdomains (psychological, somato-vegetative, urogenital), overall MRS change, safety/tolerability (custom survey), and participant-reported product experience. All assessments are completed electronically at home at baseline, mid-intervention (day 14), and end-of-study (day 28), with a brief follow-up questionnaire; there are no in-person visits.

Treatment groups
Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
Menopause Rating Scale (MRS) - Total Score
Between-group change from baseline to Day 28 in menopause symptoms measured by the total Menopause Rating Scale (MRS) score. The MRS is an 11-item self-rating scale that measures the severity of menopausal symptoms with a total score range of 0-44.
Secondary outcomes
PROMIS Cognitive Function v2.0 - Short Form 8a
Within- and between-group changes from baseline to Days 14 and 28 in cognitive function measured by PROMIS Cognitive Function v2.0 - Short Form 8a, an 8-item assessment of perceived cognitive abilities including mental acuity, concentration, and memory.
Safety and Tolerability Survey
Within- and between-group changes from baseline to Days 14 and 28 in side effect profile using a custom Safety and Tolerability survey assessing symptoms including nausea, headache, mood changes, dizziness, bloating, itching, and sexual dysfunction.
PROMIS Sleep Disturbance - Short Form
Within- and between-group changes from baseline to Days 14 and 28 in sleep measured by PROMIS Sleep Disturbance - Short Form, an 8-item assessment of sleep quality, restfulness, and disturbance severity.
MRS Psychological Subdomain
Within- and between-group changes from baseline to Days 14 and 28 in the Psychological subdomain of the Menopause Rating Scale (items 4-7: depressive mood, irritability, anxiety, exhaustion).
