What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Number of Women With Clinical Cure as a Measure of Efficacy

    Number of women with clinical cure as determined by absence of BV by the Amsel's criteria

    Time frame: Day 21-30

Secondary outcomes

  1. Number of Women With Clinical Cure as a Measure of Efficacy

    Number of women with clinical cure as determined by absence of BV by the Amsel's criteria

    Time frame: Day 9-12

  2. Number of Women With Nugent Cure as a Measure of Efficacy

    Number of women with Nugent cure, defined as a Nugent score 0-3 (normal flora), when a score of 7-10 (BV flora) was determined at Baseline.

    Time frame: Day 9-30

  3. Patient Perceived Symptom Resolution as a Measure of Efficacy (Odor)

    Number of women with absence of patient-reported vaginal odor, as determined by responses in a symptom questionnaire as to whether or not they had vaginal odor.

    Time frame: Day 9-30

  4. Incidence of Genital Adverse Events Potentially Related to Treatment

    Number of women who experience signs/symptoms of genital irritation potentially related to treatment, by solicited reporting of specific AEs as a measure of safety.

    Time frame: For the duration of the study (up to Visit Day 21-30)
