Study summary

The medical device It is indicated to promote the re-epithelialization processes of the vaginal mucosa, in the prevention of vaginal conditions of bacterial and fungal origin, and as an adjuvant in their treatment.

The primary efficacy endpoint is based on the VAS symptom score (abnormal vaginal discharge, lower abdominal pain, dysuria, burning micturition, dyspareunia, vulvar irritation, and itching on a 10-point scale), specifically the percentage of patients with therapeutic success, defined as resolution of signs and symptoms of recurrent bacterial and fungal infections (total symptom score \<2) at the end of treatment.

Study population

Female: form 18 - 75 years old

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

  • Age between 18 and 75 years
  • Signed written .
  • At least two subjective symptoms and two objective signs (at least moderate) of vaginal inflammation due to infection. Vaginal inflammation will be assessed based on six subjective symptoms (burning, pain, itching, irritation, dyspareunia, and dysuria) and four objective signs (swelling, vaginal discharge typical of the infection, pH, and presence of abrasion/erosion).
  • Confirmed recurrent bacterial vaginosis and candidiasis.
  • Patient able to maintain a patient diary during the study.
  • Patient is able to read and understand the language and content of the study materials, understands the requirements for follow-up visits, is willing to provide information at scheduled assessments, and is willing and able to comply with study requirements.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Patients who do not sign the form
  • Other gynecological diseases, diseases (e.g., infection), or who are immunocompromised for reasons such as therapy, chemotherapy, anti-angiogenic agents, or immunosuppressants, patients with diabetes
  • Patients receiving antibiotics, anti-inflammatory agents, analgesics, antineoplastic drugs, or immunosuppressants within 4 weeks prior to study inclusion
  • History of connective tissue diseases, e.g., systemic lupus erythematosus, systemic sclerosis, Sjogren's syndrome, or mixed connective tissue disease
  • Known allergy to any component of the device
  • Subjects unable to understand the informed consent form or who have a high likelihood of non-compliance with study procedures and/or non-completion of the study according to the investigator's judgment
  • Pregnancy and breastfeeding
  • Time between the last day of the last menstrual period and the baseline visit >16 days or ≤5 days (for non-menopausal subjects).
  • Participation in other clinical studies
Terms in these criteria, in plain language(4)

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.

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.

HIV

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.

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 researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. efficacy endpoint: VAS score for symptoms

    The primary efficacy endpoint is based on the VAS score for symptoms (abnormal vaginal discharge, lower abdominal pain, dysuria, burning micturition, dyspareunia, vulvar irritation, and itching on a 10-point scale), specifically the percentage of patients with therapeutic success, defined as resolution of signs and symptoms of recurrent bacterial and fungal infections (total symptom score \<2) at the end of treatment reported below.

    Time frame: "From enrollment to the end of treatment at 12 days (evaluation after menstrual cycle)

Secondary outcomes

  1. efficacy: evaluation of pH

    evaluation of pH with instrument for pH

    Time frame: "From enrollment to the end of treatment at 12 days (after menstrual cycle)

  2. efficacy: VAS evaluation

    The change from the semi-quantitative baseline score, expressed both for individual signs and symptoms and for their sum (total symptom VAS)

    Time frame: From enrollment to the end of treatment at 12 days (after menstrual cycle)

  3. safety endpoint

    The safety and tolerability of the treatments will be evaluated by investigating local and expected adverse events, as a consequence of the application of the product and any other adverse events occurring during the study.

    Time frame: From enrollment to the end of treatment at 12 days (after menstrual cycle)
