Filter by:This project aims to investigate if the contraceptive method, Phexxi, causes changes to the composition of the vaginal microbiome. The investigators hypothesize that regular use of Phexxi will cause increased colonization of lactic acid-producing lactobacilli, which could have positive effects in the way of preventing recurrent episodes of BV and candida infections.
Women diagnosed with Vulvovaginal Candidiasis by the health care professional will be enrolled in the study. All participants should fulfil inclusion and exclusion criteria. The study product will be used for 5 days, once a day. The doctor will evaluate the patients before and at the end of the treatment.
This is a multi-centre, multi-national study to evaluate the clinical performance and safety of treatment with Gedea Pessary in adult women with confirmed VVC. The study population will consist of post-menarchal, pre-menopausal females, 18 years or older, seeking care for VVC symptoms. A total of 26 patients are planned to be included in the study. On Day 0 (Screening, Visit 1), eligible patients will undergo a gynaecological examination, including collection of CVVS data, and vaginal samples. Patients will be provided with 6 doses of Gedea Pessary that will be self-administered as a daily treatment (Days 0 to 5). Patients will visit the clinic on Day 7 (+2 days, Visit 2) for gynaecological examinations, including collection of CVVS data for the assessment of clinical cure and reporting of AEs and concomitant medications. On Day 14 (±2 days, Visit 3), patients that did not have a clinical and mycological cure Day 7 will re-visit the clinic for additional gynaecological examinations, including collection of CVVS data for the assessment of clinical cure. Rescue treatment will be offered during visits 2 and 3, if necessary. Patients will have a final telephone follow-up on Day 25 (±3 days, Visit 4), for for reporting of AEs, concomitant medications and potential menstruation onset. Vaginal sampling for culture and sequencing, as well as vaginal pH measuremetnts will be performed at the clinic on Day 0, Day 7, and Day 14. On Day 25, patients will self-perform vaginal swabs at home for sequencing and vaginal culture. Patient questionnaires for assessing VVC symptoms, will be used during the treatment period (Days 0 to 5), 1 day after the treatment (Day 6) and on Days 11 and 25. Usability will be assessed on Day 7, also via the patient questionaire. The patient questionnaire will be based on an electronic patient reported outcomes (ePRO) system, i.e. a mobile application (ViedocMe™).
This study will treat subjects with complicated VVC who have failed prior fluconazole therapy with Ibrexafungerp for 1, 3 or 7 days of treatment.
The aim of the study is to investigate the efficacy of Fluconazol versus L-Mesitran in the treatment of patients with recurrent vulvovaginal candidiasis. Vaginal swabs will be analyzed after 1, 6 and 12 months. The study ends after 252 included patients completed the study.
This is a biomarker multi-centre study to validate an extraction method of fungal and bacterial DNA extracted from vaginal swabs from adult women with confirmed VVC. The study population will consist of post-menarchal, pre-menopausal females, 18 years or older, seeking care for VVC symptoms. Vaginal samples will be examined under a microscope for yeast forms (hyphae or pseudohyphae) or budding yeast. If the Investigator assesses that the patient has VVC, based on examination and the potassium hydroxide (KOH) test, two vaginal secretion samples will be collected by a vaginal swab. One sample will be cultured to verify the presence of Candida and the other will be used for sequencing analysis of the vaginal microbiome. Samples from a total of 10 women are planned to be taken.
The aim of this post-market clinical follow up study is to confirm the performance and the safety of Ultra-gyn® (when used in accordance with its approved labelling)
Self-care and self-medication are commonly the treatments of choice for the management of minor ailments. Minor ailments can be treated through community pharmacy using a Minor Ailment Service (MAS). The INDICA+PRO Impact Study, evaluated the clinical, economic and humanistic impact of a MAS, concluding that community pharmacies could greatly benefit the health system. Thus, the following objectives were defined for the INDICA+PRO implementation study. The primary objective is to implement a standardised MAS in usual practice in community pharmacy in Spain. The secondary objectives include an evaluation of the clinical and economic outcomes and the role and impact of two different models of change agents. A pragmatic study with an effectiveness-implementation hybrid design type 3 will be undertaken using the Framework for the Implementation of Services in Pharmacy (FISpH). The study will be carried between October 2020 and December 2022. Two type of practice change facilitators FaFa and SEFaFa. Their main function, using the Observe-Plan-Do-Study-Act process, will be to facilitate the implementation through individualised continuous support to providers of the MAS. The depth and breadth of support to pharmacist providers by each type of change agents will vary. Pharmaceutical Associations (PA) and/or Spanish Society of Community Pharmacy (SEFAC) will invite community pharmacies/pharmacists. Participating pharmacists will need to sign a commitment form. The second study population will consist of patients presenting with minor ailments or requesting a non-prescription medication. Recruitment of patients will be carried out by the pharmacist providers. The inclusion criteria will be: patients or caregivers (aged ≥18 years, or younger if they are accompanied by an adult) presenting with 31 minor ailments, grouped into five categories (respiratory, moderate pain, digestive, dermatological and other) with pre-agreed referral protocols. Other symptoms may be included at the discretion of the pharmacists. The exclusion criteria will be patients who do not provide informed consent. The patient/pharmacist intervention will consist of a MAS protocol adapted for each symptom. The consultation will be record in an electronic data capture system (SEFAC eXPERT®-) that provides a step-by-step approach with protocols and clinical information embedded. The FISpH model will be used to guide the implementation of MAS. Two types of change agents, FaFas and SeFaFas, previously trained for 18 hours, will be used to facilitate the implementation. During each of the stages (exploration, preparation, testing and operation, and initial sustainability), strategies will be used by FaFas and SeFaFas to moderate implementation factors. The impact of strategies will be evaluated. Data on pharmacy/pharmacist's provider performance and patient outcomes will be provided to pharmacist, change agents and PA and SEFAC. FaFas and SeFaFas will have a classification system for barriers and facilitators derived from the constructs in the Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research (CFIR). The classification system for implementation strategies consists of an adaptation of the facilitation activities listed by Dogherty et al. These will be documented in an electronic data capture system. FaFas will train their pharmacists (max. of 25 pharmacies) for 6 hours and subsequently provide at least monthly follow-up. The research team will provide ongoing feedback and support to the FaFas and SeFaFas through periodically, hold group meetings by video conference between the research group and all the FaFas and SeFaFas. The research group will provide formal reports on the implementation process and patient outcomes. Other forms of communication such as emails, telephone calls or WhatsApp messaging will also be available. Implementation and patient consultation process and outcome variables will be measured such as reach, fidelity and integration. Outcome service indicators will be clinical, economic and humanistic. A patient follow up will occur at a maximum of 10 days. Continuous variables will be reported using mean and standard deviation, or median and percentiles. Categorical variables will be reported using percentages. T Student's test or the ANOVA test or Kruskal-Wallis. χ2 test, Fisher's exact test or Yate's chi-squared will also be used. To determine the relationship between the dependent and the independent variables, logistic regression models will be performed including the variables with statistical significance in the bivariate model. The level of significance will be set at p <0.05. Machine learning and big data techniques are being considered for predictive modelling. The research team will only have access to de-identified data of pharmacists and patients. This study protocol has been approved by the Granada Research Ethics Committee on the 5th February 2020.
The purpose of this study is to establish lay user performance criteria for the SavvyCheck Vaginal Yeast Test in comparison to standard vaginal yeast culture and identification method for Candida (the Reference Method). Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and sequencing of fungi will be used as an aid to explain the nature of the discrepancy in the case of discordant results between the lay user-performed SavvyCheck Vaginal Yeast Test and standard vaginal yeast culture and identification method for Candida.
