Study summary

The research will be conducted with a product for use in the intimate region in up to 75 research participants who will use the investigational product for 28 ± 2 days. Will be evaluated and followed up throughout the study by a gynecologist to verify the safety and effectiveness of the product and possible adverse events.

The study will evaluate the non-interference of a topical use product on the intimate area, helping to preserve the natural defenses. In addition, the epithelial hydration and pH of the intimate area will be evaluated.

Read the detailed description

74 female participants, 18 to 59 years of age, healthy with complaints of vaginal dryness. The subjects will be submitted to gynecological evaluation in which pH measurements, hydration measurements and bacterioscopic collection will be performed. Then they will be guided to answer the questionnaires of Perceived Efficacy and Quality of Sexual Life. Next, participants will receive the product for home use, under real conditions of use, for 28 ± 2 days. After 28 ± 2 days of use, subjects will return to the institute, and undergo further evaluations with the gynecologist. New pH measurements, hydration measurements (chronometry), bacterioscopic collection will be performed and the participants will answer the Perceived Efficacy and Quality of Sexual Life questionnaires.

Terms in these criteria, in plain language(2)

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.

Immunosuppression

A weakened immune system. It can come from an illness, such as HIV or some blood cancers, or from medicines that turn the immune system down, for example after an organ transplant or for an autoimmune disease; steroids at higher doses count.

Read whether the line is about a condition or about medicines, and which medicines and doses it means.

Corticosteroids (steroids)

Anti-inflammatory medicines such as prednisone, prednisolone and dexamethasone — not the anabolic steroids used for muscle.

Studies differ in what they allow: check which steroid medicines, routes (tablets, injections, creams, inhalers, eye drops) and doses this study accepts.

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 Aug 2, 2021, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
