A Phase 1 interventional study of Experimental: Low dose LABTHERA-001 capsule and Experimental: Medium dose LABTHERA-001 capsule in Bacterial Vaginosis, Vaginal Disease and Bacterial Infections, sponsored by AtoGen Co. Ltd. Status unknown at 1 site in Australia. Open to female participants aged 18 Years to 45 Years, including healthy volunteers. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2023-03-09.
Sponsored by AtoGen Co. Ltd (part of Yuhan Corporation) · Phase 1, Interventional, and Other
This is a phase 1, Single-Center, Double-Blind, Randomized, Placebo-Controlled, dose escalation, clinical trial enrolling 24 healthy participants. The main subject is to investigate the safety and tolerability of the LABTHERA-001 capsule and to explore the acceptability of the capsule.
Bacterial vaginosis (BV) is the most common vaginal syndrome frequently found in women. BV is currently mainly treated with antibiotics. However, antibiotic administration can cause various side effects. And one of them is destroying the normal bacteria in the vagina, affecting the balance of the vaginal flora, increasing the likelihood of bacterial vaginosis recurrence, and causing drug resistance of bacteria. Therefore, the importance of fundamental treatment with the recovery of balance in normal vaginal flora is being recognized increasingly. The study drug for this trial, LABTHERA-001, has been derived from the bacteria Lactobacillus plantarum ATG-K2. Administration of the ATG-K2 strain will temporarily colonize the vagina to encourage a more normal microbiome.
The main goals of this study are 1. to determine whether LABTHERA-001 is safe and well tolerated in healthy adult women. And 2. to investigate the acceptability of the LABTHERA-001 capsule or matching placebo by completing a satisfaction evaluation questionnaire.
240 studies on the registry are indexed under Vaginosis, Bacterial; 39 are open to participants now.
This study's planned enrollment of 24 is below the median of 100 across 203 interventional studies indexed under Vaginosis, Bacterial.

Agrees to discontinue the use of the following during the clinical trial period (Screening Visit to End of study visit or early termination visit):
Agrees to continue to use the following highly effective contraceptive methods during the clinical trial period and for at least 30 days after the final dose of study treatment, if woman of (has experienced menarche and is not permanently sterile or ):
Exclusion Criteria:
Confirmed to have the following urogenital infections from the vaginal discharge test performed at the Screening Visit, or had the following diagnosed urogenital infections within three weeks before the Screening Visit, or has a history of urogenital infections at the discretion of the Investigator:
Has the following diagnosed urogenital infections, or had two or more clinically significant urogenital infections within 24 weeks before the Screening Visit, at the discretion of the Investigator:
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.
Ways of preventing pregnancy. “Highly effective” methods fail less than 1% of the time a year when used correctly — for example an IUD or an implant.
Criteria usually say which methods count and how long to keep using them after the last dose, sometimes for male participants too. Some studies accept a partner’s vasectomy if it was confirmed successful and that person is the participant’s only sexual partner.
Able to become pregnant: from the first period until menopause, unless permanently unable to through surgery (removal of the womb, or of both ovaries or both fallopian tubes).
Criteria for people of childbearing potential usually ask for a negative pregnancy test and for contraception during the study and for a time after it.
Periods have stopped for good: usually no period for 12 months in a row without another medical reason, sometimes confirmed by a blood test (FSH).
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.

A drug or device being studied in a clinical trial.
It may be new, or already approved and being studied for another use, dose or form. Criteria often leave out people who took part in another study of one within a recent period, commonly 30 days or five half-lives.
The human immunodeficiency virus, which weakens the immune system.
Many studies now accept people whose HIV is controlled on treatment, judged by the viral load and the CD4 count. Check the limits this study sets.
Hepatitis B is a virus that infects the liver. These are separate tests: HBsAg positive usually means a current infection (a recent vaccination can briefly cause it too); total anti-HBc (HBcAb) positive means an infection now or in the past; HBV DNA measures how much virus is in the blood.
Some studies accept a past infection if HBV DNA is undetectable, sometimes with antiviral medicine during the study. Check what this study allows.
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.

A planned gap after a treatment, so that its effects can lessen before the study treatment or a study assessment. Ask the study team and the doctor who prescribed it before changing any medicine.
An allergy, or another reaction of the immune system, to a substance. “Hypersensitivity to the study drug” means a known allergic reaction to it — not every side effect a medicine can have.
