Filter by:This is an open user study to evaluate D005 vagnial mousse with regards to user-friendliness, and measure time from start of treatment to symptom relief and measure the clarity of instructional material. The study will be conducted at seven sites in Sweden, the study population will consist of up to 100 female subjects.
Study question: Does antibiotic alone or in combination with live biotherapeutic treatment of an abnormal vaginal microbiota improve the reproductive outcomes of IVF couples? Study hypothesis: The investigator hypothesize that treatment of the reproductive tract pathogens and restoration of vaginal Lactobacillus will improve the reproductive outcomes of IVF patients. What is known already? Ultra-deep sequencing methods enable the refinement of reproductive tract microbiology in infertile patients. A recent meta-analysis reported that 19% of infertile patients had abnormal vaginal microbiota Moreover, someone have detected the presence of a Gardnerella (G.) vaginalis dominated endometrial biofilm in 50% of non-infertile patients with abnormal vaginal microbiota undergoing curettage; thus the treatment of such an endometrial biofilm might play an important role for the endometrial receptivity and subsequently the clinical pregnancy rate. Pilot study: In a recent pilot study it was observed that an abnormal vaginal microbiota negatively affects the clinical pregnancy rate in IVF patients. In this study the prevalence of abnormal vaginal microbiota was 28% (36/130) and only 9% of patients with qPCR defined abnormal vaginal microbiota obtained a clinical pregnancy (p=0.004). This association remained significant in an adjusted analysis. Furthermore, the invetigators have preliminary results demonstrating that vaginal bacteria such as G. vaginalis can be found in the endometrium of IVF patients, which is also supported by recent publications What is the novelty of this study? To the investigators knowledge, no previous treatment study of abnormal reproductive tract microbiota has been performed in IVF patients; this relatively small intervention holds the potential to increase the baby-take-home rate after IVF treatment.
Previous research has shown that semen deposition in the vagina after intercourse leads to dripping, discomfort, and vaginal odor. This study is evaluating a hygiene device designed to be inserted into the vagina after intercourse to absorb semen deposited into the vaginal canal to determine if there is a reduction in dripping and odor, and to determine the amount of fluids absorbed.
This study compares the effect of vaginal hygiene wash versus placebo as adjunct treatment with oral metronidazole in treatment of women with bacterial vaginosis
This is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical investigation. The objective of the study is to confirm the efficacy of Multi-Gyn ActiGel Plus to treat BV as compared to a placebo control. Treatment arm 1: Multi-Gyn ActiGel Plus Treatment arm 2: placebo gel Both the Multi-Gyn ActiGel Plus and the placebo will be applied twice a day for 7 consecutive days. Visit 2 will be performed at 3 weeks after start of treatment A phone call will take place, at 5 weeks after start of treatment for subject with clinical cure at Visit 2. The total duration per subject is estimated 5 weeks and the total study duration is 13 months. Sample size is 100 subjects per treatment arm.
This is a double-blinded, placebo controlled, multi-center randomized trial of 482 pregnant women who are diagnosed with Bacterial Vaginosis (BV) in the late 3rd trimester (>34 weeks). During routine clinic visit after 34 weeks, prospective patients will be counseled about the study. Patients who agree to be enrolled, will sign informed consent. Following enrollment, patients will be screened for BV. Those patients who are BV positive by clinical diagnosis, will be randomized to receive either metronidazole 500 mg BID orally for 7 days or identically appearing placebo.
Vaginal Microbiome Transplantation (VMT) may be beneficial in treating the most severe cases of recurrent and antibiotics-nonresponsive cases of BV. Recently, we completed a preliminary study in which we treated patients with recurrent and antibiotics-non-responsive, intractable BV, with VMT from healthy donors [Lev-Sagie, Nature Medicine 2019]. Four VMT recipients in this preliminary study featured a significant improvement of both clinical symptoms and dysbiotic vaginal microbiome composition and function, which persisted over a long follow-up period, while one recipient featured a partial remission. The proposed study is designed as a placebo, randomized controlled trial, and is aimed to further assess whether VMT may serve as a viable option in symptomatic, intractable BV. In the suggested study, we plan to compare transplantation of: 1) vaginal fluid from healthy donors, and 2) autologous transplantation, of the patient's own vaginal fluid.
Low adherence to recommended health and nutrition strategies during the critical 1000 day-window of opportunity is multifactorial but low quality communication is key limitation. Innovative strategies to improve interpersonal communication can reduce the burden and the fatigue of community health workers and may result in a greater change. The findings of this project will support governments and other stakeholders in their delivery of high impact nutrition and health practices. This intervention aims to improve adherence to ante- and post-natal care practices and recommendations by the use of our video-based health education. These videos will be implemented through home-based counseling by trained assistants, and video-based forum participation led by community nurses and health extension workers (HEWs). During the monthly forums, the educational package will be delivered in a video form - locally prepared using multiple approaches like testimony, comedy, dramas in the form of questions and answers, group discussions and deductive approaches. Cordless projectors and locally created videos give the health community more quality control over the end message, expand the number of people reached, allow for the use of minimally trained non-expert facilitators such as the hews, and allow for contextually appropriate information. They can also be used in areas without access to electricity, helping to bridge the digital divide, and serving as a leapfrog technology for areas that would otherwise not have access to media.
The investigators aim to examine the endometrium with state of the art sequencing techniques to investigate the endometrial microbiota. The endometrial microbiota has been perceived to be sterile, however, this seems incorrect from recent studies. Thus, the primary outcome is to compare the rate of ascending infection from the vagina to the endometrium and to investigate which bacteria are capable of inhabiting these environments in healthy oocyte donors. These results will be compared to equivalent samples of IVF patients.
Bacterial vaginosis (BV) is under-reported, misdiagnosed and inappropriately treated in Nigeria. Treatment option rely on antibiotics that eliminates both good and pathogenic bacteria, with gross impact on the gut and vaginal microbiome. Our primary objective in this study is to determine the effects of Lactobacillus on the gut and vagina when taken orally.
