Status Terminated

Clinical Trial Summary

Pregnant women at high risk for preterm labor from at least 13 weeks of gestation will be tested to detect abnormal vaginal flora (AVF) or its severe form - bacterial vaginosis (BV) by taking vaginal smear. Treatment will be given according to the results.

Clinical Trial Description

Pregnant women at high risk for preterm labor from at least 13 weeks of gestation will be tested to detect AVF/BV by taking vaginal smear. Diagnosis will be according to the Nugent score criteria. Treatment will be given according to the results:

Patient with a positive smear for AVF- patients tested positive will be treated with either clindamycin or metronidazole. Following treatment another smear will be taken according to which the patients will be divided into 2 research groups: (1) Assessing the effectiveness of probiotic formula to prevent AVF re-infection (secondary infection) - this group includes patients with normal vaginal flora following antibiotic administration. (2) Assessing the effectiveness of probiotic formula to eradicate AVF - this group includes patients with persistent AVF following antibiotic administration (first and second line). In each group the patients will be divided into a research group which will receive the probiotic formula UREX PLUS (containing L. rhamnosus GR-1and L. reuteri RC-14) and a control group which will receive a placebo twice a day until 36.6 weeks of gestation.

Patient with a negative smear for AVF - in those patients the effectiveness of probiotic formula will be tested for primary prevention. These patients will be divided into a research group which will receive the probiotic formula UREX PLUS and a control group which will receive a placebo twice a day until 36.6 weeks of gestation.

Finally, the colonization of lactobacilli in the vaginal flora will be examined by dividing patients with normal vaginal flora into one group receiving a probiotic capsule containing L. rhamnosus GR-1 and L. reuteri RC-14 twice a day for 2 months and a second group without intervention. After two months the group receiving probiotic capsule will receive no treatment and the second group will receive probiotic capsule containing L. rhamnosus GR-1and L. reuteri RC-14 twice a day for 2 months. ;

Clinical trials are conducted in a series of steps, called phases - each phase is designed to answer a separate research question.

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.
