This is an interventional treatment trial for Chronic Disease of Skin

Eligibility Criteria

18 Years - undefined (Adult, Older Adult)FemaleDoes not accept healthy volunteers

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Able and willing to give written informed consent.
  • Woman, with 18 or more years.
  • Diagnosed with symptomatic non-hypertrophic chronic vulvar dermatoses.
  • A pruritus score of at least 20 on a 100-mm VAS-PR.
  • Willing and able to comply with the study requirements.
  • Participant of childbearing potential agrees to remain abstinent or to use an acceptable contraceptive measure for the entire duration of the study.
  • Participant not of childbearing potential (e.g., is not sexually active, whose current partner is not of reproductive potential).

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Received systemic immunosuppressant therapy (e.g. systemic corticosteroids) within 4 weeks prior to admission.
  • Treated with daily topical therapy (e.g. topical corticosteroids, pimecrolimus, and tacrolimus) at the target vulvar area within 2 weeks prior to admission, which in the opinion of the investigator might compromise study results.
  • Immunocompromised (e.g., lymphoma, AIDS, Wiskott-Aldrich Syndrome) or have an uncontrolled malignant disease.
  • Suffers from systemic or generalized infections (bacterial, viral or fungal).
  • Diagnosis of psoriasis, candidiasis, vulvar intraepithelial neoplasia or carcinoma of the vulva.
  • Pregnancy or breastfeeding.
  • Documented and consistent history of hypersensitivity reactions to similar topical products.

5. Study Description

Brief Summary
The current study aims to investigate the effectiveness in clinical symptomatic control and tolerability of LabiaStick#01 in women with symptomatic non-hypertrophic chronic vulvar dermatoses.
Detailed Description
Vulvar dermatoses are skin disorders that affect the vulva, causing pruritus, irritation and pain. Although the prevalence of these disorders is unknown, it is well accepted that the vulvar symptoms are a common problem for women. LabiaStick#01 has emollient agents whose main function is to increase the skin hydration, provide physical protection and decrease the symptoms and possibility of recurrence of vulvar dermatoses. The medical device should be applied once daily, in the evening, after intimal hygiene care. The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of LabiaStick#01 on the relief of pruritus caused by symptomatic non-hypertrophic chronic vulvar dermatoses.
