Study summary

Evaluate the diagnostic performance of the Gyni™ device to detect different vaginitis conditions by comparison to microscopic diagnosis and related lab tests.

Read the detailed description

During gynecological exams, vaginal discharge samples will be are taken for testing the pH level, microscopic examination and laboratory examinations (vaginal cultures and sexually transmitted infections).

One additional sample will be taken intended for the Gyni™ system diagnosis. This additional examination will be performed in the clinic by pulling the cytobrush through a dedicated cartridge and scanning it in the Gyni table-top scanner. The result diagnosis will be anonymously kept in the cloud.

The diagnosis suggested by the Gyni system will not be visible to the physician in order to prevent any bias. Results from the physician, from the device and from the lab will be summarized and compared by the chief investigator

Study population

Patients with vulvovaginal symptoms

Go through the criteria one by one — yes, no or not sure — and take the list to your doctor or the study team. Kept in this browser only.

Inclusion criteria

  • Women with vaginal complaints: Discharge, Malodor, Itching, Irritation, Dyspareunia, Pain
  • Age >= 18y

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Age \< 18y
  • Not eligible to sign an
  • Vaginal discharge samples found microscopically not interpret-able by the investigator due to patient using vaginal creams, ointments, lubricants or sperm presence.
  • During menstruation
Terms in these criteria, in plain language(1)

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.

Informed consent

Before you join, the study team explains what taking part involves — its purpose, what happens, the risks and possible benefits — and answers your questions, so you can decide freely. Consent is usually recorded on a form (the informed consent form, ICF) signed by you or, where the law allows, by someone legally authorised to decide for you.

You can keep asking questions during the study, you are told of new information that matters, and you can choose to leave at any time.

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on May 13, 2025, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
