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

  • Diagnosed atrophic vaginitis, lichen sclerosus, lichen simplex chronicus or lichen planus
  • Continuous vulvovaginal symptoms
  • Access to smartphone and tablet, laptop or computer
  • Access to a valid email address

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Unable to provide
  • Patient unable to apply topical device
  • Allergy or intolerance to ingredients or of the formulation of studied products
  • Systemic hormonal therapy started less than 30 days before baseline
  • Systemic ongoing treatment or used within the last 30 days before baseline
  • Ongoing topical HRT or corticosteroid treatment for the indication under investigation
  • Topical HRT or corticosteroid treatment used for the indication under investigation within the last 30 days before baseline
Terms in these criteria, in plain language(3)

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.

Excipients

The other ingredients in a medicine besides the active drug, such as fillers, colours or preservatives.

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.

Interventions

  • Device7-0940

    A non-hormonal and non-steroidal gel that supports vulvovaginal mucosal conditions and speeds up recovery post vaginal rejuvenation. It is a suitable alternative to vaginally administered estrogen and topical corticosteroids, that promotes a moist healing environment leading to faster re-epithelialization. The gel relieves symptoms such as itchiness, tenderness, dryness, burning sensation, painful intercourse (dyspareunia), painful urination (dysuria), rectal and defecating pain. It improves erythema, mucosal tissue thinning, erosions, fissures, ulcerations, scarring/adhesions and swelling. It is indicated for long-term use to maintain the health of the vaginal mucosa without the side effects of vaginally administered hormonal therapy and topical corticosteroids.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Change in Vulvovaginal Symptoms Questionnaire (VSQ) score from baseline at 12 months.

    The patient-rated quality of life will be assessed at baseline and during each monthly follow-up using the validated patient-rated Vulvovaginal Symptoms Questionnaire (VSQ) \[min:0; max:16 (for sexually inactive patients) / max: 20 (for sexually active patients)\]. A higher score thereby correlates to a worse outcome. The primary endpoint is the change from baseline VSQ score at 12 months.

    Time frame: 12 months

  2. Change in Vulvar Disease Quality of Life Index (VQLI) score from baseline at 12 months

    The patient-rated quality of life will be assessed at baseline and during each monthly follow-up using the validated patient-rated Vulvar Disease Quality of Life Index (VQLI). \[min:0; max:45\]. A higher score thereby correlates to a worse outcome. The primary endpoint is the change from baseline VQLI score at 12 months.

    Time frame: 12 months

Secondary outcomes

  1. Change in investigator-rated severity of visual clinical signs related to the disease, assessed using a 10-point Likert scale

    Signs (dryness, tissue thinning, erosion, fissures, erythema, scarring, contact bleeding, labial fusion, labia reabsorption and contracture of posterior introitus) are rated by the investigator during a physical assessment at baseline and after 12 months, using a 10-point Likert scale ranging from 0=normal to 10=worst possible.

    Time frame: 12 months

  2. Change in patient-rated symptom severity assessed using a 10-point Likert scale.

    Severity of symptoms (itch, burning, pain, irritation, dryness and pain during intercourse) are rated by the patient at baseline and at 12 months, using a 10-point Likert scale ranging from 0=normal to 10=worst possible.

    Time frame: 12 months

  3. Change in investigator-rated severity of the overall visual pathology of the disease, assessed using a 10-point Likert scale.

    Severity of the visual pathology is rated by the investigator during baseline and after 12 months, using a 10-point Likert scale, ranging from 0=normal to 10=worst possible. Overall visual severity may include the severity of pathology at the Clitoral Hood, Urethra Area, Vaginal Vault, Labia Majora / Minora, Fourchette, Perineum, Perianal skin, Extragential site and/or Inguinal folds.

    Time frame: 12 months

  4. Adverse Reactions

    Adverse reactions are rated by the investigator during baseline and after months 3, 6, 9, 12 months, using the dichotomous scale of presence and absence.

    Time frame: 12 months

  5. Product rating

    Product performance is rated by the patient at the final visit after 12 months, using a Likert scale from 1=unsatisfactory to 5=excellent.

    Time frame: 12 months

  6. Treatment adherence

    Treatment adherence is reported by the patient during the final study assessment, indicating the number of days/week and times/day the product was applied during the previous month. Percentage of treatment adherence is calculated from the minimum required treatment schedule.

    Time frame: 12 months
