Study summary

The purpose of this study is to compare the efficacy and safety of LactiSal 1%vaginal gel and LactiSal 50 mg vaginal tablet with the standart treatment of clotrimazole 100 mg vaginal tablet in woman with vulvovaginal candidiasis (VVC)

Read the detailed description

National multicenter,randomized, open-label, active-controlled with three parallel groups.Eligible patients are randomized to receive LactiSal 1% vaginal gel, LactiSal 50 mg vaginal tablet or clotrimazole 100 mg vaginal tablet for 6 days. Control examaminations are performed 10 after entry and 4 weeks after control visit 1.

The study investigates the clinical efficacy and safety of Lactisal 1% vaginal gel and LactiSal 50mg vaginal tablets in the intended use, i.e. vaginal application, and the following intended claims:

  • Treatment of vaginal yeast vaginitis
  • Relieves vaginal itching, burning, redness and discharge in case of yeast vaginitis
  • Inhibition of yeast colonization in the vagina in case of yeast vaginitis. The study is designed to compare the clinical efficacy and safety of Lactisal 1% vaginal gel and LactiSal 50 mg vaginal tablets to a current standard drug therapy, i.e. clotrimazole 100 mg vaginal tablets.

While LactiSal is classified as medical device class IIa, the comparator is a medicinal (pharmaceutical) product. The study represents a "mixed" study, comparing the efficacy of a medical device with a pharmaceutical product.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Clinical cure rate

    Clinical cure is defined as patient having a Total Severity Score of less than 3. The Total Severity Score (TSC) is assessed by the Investigator, examining and interviewing the patient. The TSC is the sum score of the 5 individual signs symptoms - vaginal itching, vaginal burning or soreness, abnormal vaginal discharge, vulvovaginal erythema or oedema and vulval excoriation or fissure formation. Each sign and symptom is assessed with a score from 0 to 3, resulting in total score for TSC of 0 to 15.

    Time frame: 10 days after entry (C1)

Secondary outcomes

  1. Clinical cure rate

The TSC is the sum score of the 5 individual signs symptoms - vaginal itching, vaginal burning or soreness, abnormal vaginal discharge, vulvovaginal erythema or oedema and vulval excoriation or fissure formation. Each sign and symptom is assessed with a score from 0 to 3, resulting in total score for TSC of 0 to 15.
