Filter by: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.
The goal of this registry is to learn more about cytolytic vaginosis, a little known and controversial condition. The main questions the registry aims to answer are: - What are risk factors of cytolytic vaginosis? - Are there defining symptoms of cytolytic vaginosis? - What features on wet mount should be used to diagnosis cytolytic vaginosis? - Are baking soda vaginal irrigations an effective treatment for cytolytic vaginosis? - Do characteristics of cytolytic vaginosis vary between sites/countries?
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 is a randomised, parallel group, partly blinded investigation to evaluate the clinical performance and safety of pHyph in adult women with bacterial vaginosis. Patients will be randomised to active treatment or no treatment (untreated controls) in a 1:1 ratio. The Investigators carrying out the gynaecological assessments will be blinded. Patients will not be blinded. The population of this investigation will consist of post-menarchal, pre-menopausal females 18 years or older seeking treatment for BV symptoms ("fishy smell", irritation and burning). Approximately 82-92 patients will be recruited and randomised. BV will be diagnosed according to Amsel's criteria, defined as having at least 3 of the 4 criteria. Active treatment (from the start of the investigation) will be compared to no treatment at day 7 after screening (primary endpoint). Clinical cure rate on Day 7 is defined as the absence of all of the following 3 Amsel criteria: - Thin, white, yellow, homogeneous discharge. - Clue cells on microscopy (>20% of epithelial cells). - Release of a "fishy odour", i.e., a positive "whiff test" when alkali (10% KOH solution) is added. Patients receiving rescue treatment before Day 7 will be considered as treatment failures. Patients in the "no treatment group" will receive pHyph as rescue treatment if they are not cured day 7. They will thereafter follow the same scheme as the patients starting with pHyph treatment. After the initial pHyph treatment, daily during 6 days, patients will continue with pHyph twice weekly until day 25 when an additional assessment will be performed. If the patients are cured, they will continue to receive pHyph as preventive treatment during 6 weeks and possible BV recurrences will be assessed.
The goal of this clinical trial is to explore the effect of Lactobacillus johnsonii and white pomegranate extract on female bacterial status, it aims to answer are: - Evaluate Lactobacillus johnsonii TCI250 probiotics or white pomegranate extract in regulating female vaginal bacteria and improving vaginal health. - Evaluate Lactobacillus johnsonii TCI250 probiotics or white pomegranate extract in regulating inflammation. Participants will be randomly assigned to placebo (n = 50), probiotic heat-killed Lactobacillus johnsonii TCI250 group (n = 50) and white pomegranate extract group (n = 50) for 8 weeks. Researchers will compare the vaginal flora and inflammation.
There is strong observational evidence that sexual activity plays a key role in Bacterial Vaginosis (BV) acquisition and recurrence. Microbiological data support the contribution of sexual transmission to the pathogenesis of BV through the exchange of BV-associated bacteria (BVAB) between sexual partners. Although BV epidemiology strongly suggests sexual transmission, treatment of sexual partners is not recommended, based on prior treatment studies of male partners of women with recurrent BV, which showed no benefit with male treatment. Nevertheless, male condom use is highly protective against recurrent BV. This study aims to evaluate the male-partner's genital microbiome as a potential source of BV-recurrence in women undergoing vaginal microbiota transplantation (NCT04517487), and whether disinfection can eliminate BV-associated penile microbiome.
The aim of the present randomized double-blind placebo-controlled trial is to evaluate the efficacy of a probiotic formulation, containing the probiotic strain Lacticaseibacillus rhamnosus CA15 (DSM 33960), in the treatment of vaginal dysbiosis in terms of: (i) modulation of the microbiota (increase of lactobacilli and decrease of pathogens), (ii) reduction of clinical signs of inflammation, (iii) improvement of quality of life.
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.
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.
HIV remains a global pandemic with 37 million infected. In western Kenya, 16% of women in the general population and 29% of the poorest women have HIV. The HIV and sexually transmitted infection (STI) epidemics overlap with broader reproductive health concerns. Menstrual hygiene management is a big problem in low- and middle-income countries and a lack of menstrual products negatively impacts women's work-life. This comes from cultural taboos, stigma, and discrimination, promoting secrecy around menstruation, high cost of menstrual products, use of traditional materials (e.g. rags, cotton wool, etc.) causing leakage and odor, and lack of water and safe hygiene facilities. Menstrual cups designed for use during sex may help women prevent Bacterial vaginosis (BV) and STIs through hygienic period practices, and may help them avoid bad practices in an attempt to maintain vaginal dryness. The goal of this interventional trial is to test the impact of menstrual cups on vaginal microbiome, BV, and STIs of poor women at high risk for STIs and HIV. We predict to see 25% less BV, our primary outcome, over one year. This trial aims to learn more about the safety of the intervention, and understand what is needed to fully implement the program.
