Candidiasis is an infection caused by a yeast (a type of fungus) called Candida. Candidiasis in the vagina is commonly called a "vaginal yeast infection." Another names for this infection is "vaginal candidiasis". The symptoms of vaginal candidiasis include: Vaginal itching or soreness, Pain during sexual intercourse, Pain or discomfort when urinating and Abnormal vaginal discharge. VagiVitalAC is a modified version of the existing gel VagiVital, formulated to act as a treatment for fungal infections. This clinical investigation is a two-part study consisting of a pilot part followed by a randomized part. The aim of the pilot part is to evaluate if VagiVitalAC is able to cure the vulvovaginal candidiasis in at least 70% of the patients after 7 days treatment. If the proportion of cured patients is at least 70 %, the next part, the randomized part, will be performed. In the randomized part, the treatment efficacy and safety of VagiVitalAC on candida vulvovaginitis will be evaluated by comparing a treatment group with a control group receiving no treatment.
Yeast vaginitis is a very common ailment affecting premenopausal women in Nigeria. This condition is more prevalent in the age group between 21-30 years. More than 75% of premenopausal women and university students are diagnosed with yeast infections annually. In most of these women, recurrent rate of vaginal candidiasis with empiric therapy, stands between 70 and 80%. In addition, resistance to anti-fungal agents is increasing at an alarming speed, particularly with species other than Candida albicans such as C tropicalis and C glabrata. The healthy vaginal environment is composed mainly of lactobacilli and when these organisms are suppressed overgrowth of a large number of pathogens occur including yeasts. In this pilot study,we hypothesize that oral administration of two well documented strains of lactobacilli (L.rhamnosis GR-1 and L.reuteri RC-14 ) given to women with recurrent yeast vaginitis, following standard therapy with fluconazole will result in a significant reduction in recurrence rate of the disease.
