Filter by:lactoferrin is believed to modulate immunity and help in prevention of recurrent bacterial vaginosis.In this study, the role of lactoferrin is assessed during third trimester of pregnancy.
This is a phase 1, Single-Center, Double-Blind, Randomized, Placebo-Controlled, dose escalation, clinical trial enrolling 24 healthy participants. The main subject is to investigate the safety and tolerability of the LABTHERA-001 capsule and to explore the acceptability of the capsule.
This is a Single-center, Randomized, Double-blind, Placebo-controlled Phase I Study to Evaluate the Safety, Tolerability and PK Profiles of Single and Multiple Ascending Doses of Antimicrobial Peptide PL-18 Vaginal Suppositories.
The purpose of this investigator-initiated randomized control trial is to determine if bacterial vaginosis infection increases the likelihood of preterm delivery in women with history of preterm delivery. Subjects will be randomized in a two-arm study to undergo predetermined intervals of testing for bacterial vaginosis or control.
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.
Most of the methods involved in the treatment of BV include antibiotics. Some of the antibiotics used for this include metronidazole, clindamycin and fluconazole. The antibiotics inhibit the growth of anaerobes that support G. vaginalis and other microbes without affecting lactobacilli. This leads to the treatment of BV while also preventing its recurrence. However, the use of antibiotics may lead to antibiotic resistance and cause various side-effects such as thrush, dizziness, rash, nausea, etc. In the case of many antibiotics, the cure rates were incredibly poor and the BV recurrence rates reached as high as 80 %. Probiotic therapy has slowly been replacing antibiotics for the treatment and prevention of BV and other infections. These probiotics usually contain lactobacilli and help maintain a healthy vaginal environment. They can either be consumed through curd and other milk products that contain probiotics (mostly lactobacilli) or they can be used in the form of suppositories that are placed in the vagina. In probiotics containing lactobacilli, the lactic acid produced by the bacteria lowers the vaginal pH to the ideal range of 3.5 to 4.5 and prevents infection recurrence. Lactobacilli containing suppositories have been successfully used in the past to treat BV, being marketed as a safe and effective way to prevent and treat infections for women in various stages of their lives.
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 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.
The investigators are trying to determine if oral Probiotics(Umeta-mimi,30 days) with Metronidazole vaginal suppositories (7 days) is better than using Metronidazole vaginal suppositories(7 days) only in preventing the recurrence of bacterial vaginosis
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.
