Filter by:This is a two-part, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study to assess the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, and efficacy (for Part B) of BNT331 in healthy women (Part A) and in women diagnosed with bacterial vaginosis (BV) (Part B).
The purpose of this clinical trial is to study the efficacy of bovgialuronidase azoximere in the treatment and duration of recurrence-free course of bacterial vaginosis in women of reproductive age. The main questions it aims to answer are: - Is bovgialuronidase azoximer able to destroy G. vaginalis associated biofilms of the vaginal epithelium - use of bovgialuronidase azoximer together with Metronidazole increases the effectiveness of treatment of bacterial vaginosis. - use of azoximers bovgialuronidase together with Metronidazole increases the duration of relapse-free course of bacterial vaginosis. Participants in the experimental and control group will be: - Amsel criteria assessment - Colpotest-PH (vaginal acidity) - aminotest with 10% KOH solution ("fish odor") - microscopic examination of vaginal discharge - Bacteriologic culture of vaginal discharge - Polymerase chain reaction of epithelial cell scrapings from the vagina - electron microscopy of vaginal epithelial cell scrapings Participants in the main group will be given the drug Bovgialuronidase azoximer and Metronidazole. Participants in the control group: Metronidazole. Researchers will compare the experimental and control groups to see if there are differences after treatment in biofilm structure, treatment efficacy, and duration of recurrence-free survival.
Bacterial vaginosis (BV) occupies one of the leading places in the structure of the of gynecologic morbidity. This syndrome affects from 26 to 29% of women of reproductive age. Bacterial vaginosis is a non-inflammatory syndrome based on the replacement of normal lactoflora by opportunistic microorganisms. The modern concept of pathogenesis of bacterial vaginosis is the formation of biofilms, mainly Gardnerella vaginalis, on the surface of the vaginal epithelium. Associated with biofilms bacterial vaginosis is characterized by increased resistance to pathogenetic therapy, ability to evade protective mechanisms and prolonged persistence in the vaginal environment, which is manifested by an increase in the rate of recurrent and chronic course. In connection with the above described, it is relevant to study in vivo the role of drug action on biofilms in order to destroy them and, as a consequence, to increase the effectiveness of pathogenetic antibacterial therapy, reduce the frequency of BV recurrences and improve the quality of life of women. According to the local and international literature, there are various ways to affect biofilms, one of which is enzymatic destruction of the matrix. Bovgialuronidase azoximer was chosen as the study drug.
The purpose of this clinical trial is to investigate the clinical efficacy and safety of a Live Biotherapeutic Product (BGY-1601-VT) intended as a first line of treatment in cases of acute vaginal infection without upfront microbiological confirmed diagnosis
Vaginal infections are a common gynecologic issue and may cause significant symptoms and discomfort for individuals. Point of care tests are used to diagnose infections in the office, with an advantage of quick diagnosis and treatment. Examples of point of care tests are urine pregnancy, rapid strep and COVID-19 tests. This study will enroll persons with vaginal complaints and compare diagnosis and treatment based on usual care to diagnosis and treatment using a Food and Drug Administration-approved point of care test for the diagnosis of vaginitis. The study is being done to better understand diagnosis, treatment, and satisfaction using point of care tests compared to usual care. Participants will be randomized to one of two study arms: Arm 1: the healthcare provider will perform their usual evaluation and tests to make the diagnosis and provide treatment, as needed. Arm 2: the provider will be asked to use the results of the point-of-care test being used in the study to make the diagnosis and provide treatment, as needed. Regardless of arm, all diagnoses and treatment will be provided through the healthcare provider. All participants will be contacted 2 weeks later to answer a questionnaire related to diagnosis, treatment, current symptoms, and satisfaction with their visit. Medical records related to vaginal complaints, up to 30 days from enrollment, will be reviewed by the study team to obtain information on symptoms, tests performed, results, and treatments prescribed.
Preterm birth is an important cause of death and disabilities. Bacterial vaginosis (BV) is a common vaginal dysbiosis or abnormal microbiota, with a predominance of anaerobic bacteria with a lack of Lactobacillus, with various diagnosis methods. Often asymptomatic, BV increases the risk of preterm birth according to the gestational age at diagnosis. BV is usually diagnosed by conventional diagnosis such as Nugent score. Molecular diagnosis of BV has been demonstrated to be more reproducible, more accurate and to better define dysbiosis. The main objective of the study is to evaluate the effectiveness of an innovative screen-and-treat strategy for vaginal flora abnormalities by molecular biology using a Point of Care multiplex technology before 18 weeks' gestation to reduce the rate of preterm birth in a population of pregnant women at high risk of preterm birth. The hypothesis is that a strategy for screening and treating vaginal flora abnormalities and their recurrences using molecular biology in women with a history of prematurity or late-term abortion could be effective in reducing premature births by 40%.
The aim of this study was to explore the efficacy and safety of a new vaginal microbiome transplantation technique, using Lactobacillus cispatus from healthy donors as a treatment of bacterial vaginosis.
Diagnostic trial comparing the diagnostic accuracy of the DAYE Diagnostic Tampon (DDT) with a vaginal swab (self-collected and clinician taken).
The goal of this randomized clinical trial is to evaluate safety and biologic effect of a multi-strain vaginal L. crispatus live biotherapeutic product (LBP) in people receiving antibiotic treatment for bacterial vaginosis (BV). The main question[s] it aims to answer are whether the intervention is safe, and whether the strains of L. crispatus will colonize recipients' vagina. The study will evaluate one LBP with 6 strains of L. crispatus (LC106) and one LBP with 15 strains (LC115) vs. placebo. Participants will: - be treated with oral antibiotics for BV - receive 7 days of vaginal study product - collect daily home swabs and make short daily diary entries for 5 weeks, including the week of antibiotic treatment and the week of study product treatment. Researchers will compare the 3 groups receiving different dosing strategies of LC106 and 1 group receiving LC115 vs. 1 group receiving placebo to see if the live biotherapeutic strains colonize the vagina after antibiotic treatment for BV.
This cohort study plans to investigate associations between the presence of multiple lower genital tract microorganisms in pregnancy and gestational age at birth. The study enrols pregnant women at one public health care facility in East London, South Africa. At enrolment and 30-34 weeks of pregnancy, participants provide swabs for testing for sexually transmitted infections, vaginal yeasts and genital mycoplasmas; for microscopy and Nugent scoring; and for 16S ribosomal ribonucleic acid gene sequencing and quantification. The primary outcome is gestational age at birth. Statistical analyses include: regression modelling to explore associations between specific microorganisms (including microbiota) and gestational age at birth; construction of an index of vaginal inflammation, using data about microorganism load and inflammatory potential; classification and regression tree analysis to examine which combinations of microorganisms contribute to earlier gestational age at birth.
