Don't Miss Tomorrow's After-Hours Webinar!

Wednesday, May 14, 8:30 PM - 9:30 PM ET

Dear AACU Member,

 

We are pleased to announce the next installment in our 2025 AACU After-Hours webinar series, with Yahir Santiago-Lastra, MD.

FDA Black Box Warning on Vaginal Estrogen: Evidence, Advocacy, and Action

Wednesday, May 14, 8:30 pm - 9:30 pm (ET)

Presenter: Yahir Santiago-Lastra, MD, Vice Chair of Education & Residency Program Director, Department of Urology, UC San Diego Health

In this impactful presentation, Dr. Yahir Santiago-Lastra reviews the ongoing national effort to remove the FDA's black box warning on low-dose vaginal estrogen. Despite decades of clinical evidence demonstrating its safety and effectiveness in treating genitourinary syndrome of menopause (GSM), vaginal estrogen remains underutilized due to outdated regulatory labels.

Drawing from successful case studies involving testosterone and Chantix, Dr. Santiago-Lastra outlines a strategic roadmap that includes scientific evidence, regulatory precedent, and coordinated advocacy.

 

This talk equips urologists and health policy advocates with the tools needed to champion rational, evidence-based access to vaginal estrogen for their patients.


Learning Objectives

By the end of this session, participants will be able to:

 

  1. Describe the origins and limitations of the FDA black box warning on vaginal estrogen.
  2. Summarize key clinical data supporting the safety and efficacy of low-dose vaginal estrogen.
  3. Analyze regulatory precedents for black box warning removal, including testosterone and Chantix.
  4. Identify advocacy strategies—including citizen petitions, legislative engagement, and professional society action—to support label change.


Bring your questions and be part of this important conversation. Participation is FREE, but registration is required!

We look forward to meeting with you!
