Active clinical trials for "Candidiasis, Vulvovaginal"

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of SHR8008 capsule In Subjects With Recurrent Vulvovaginal Candidiasis

Vaginitis is the most common gynecologic diagnosis in the primary care setting. In approximately 90 percent of affected women, this condition occurs secondary to bacterial vaginosis, vulvovaginal candidiasis, trichomoniasis or mixed infection. Neo-Penotran Forte is registered for treatment of these most common vaginal infections. Efficacy and safety of this product is already established, and this observational study was designed to learn more about practical use of Neo-Penotran® Forte in real life setting.

The objective of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of the consumption of the one probiotic strain in the prevention of new vaginal candidiasis events in women with recurrent vaginal candidiasis. This is a preliminary study whose purpose is to know if this probiotic is effective in reducing the number of candidiasis events and / or increasing the time between possible relapses in women diagnosed with RVVC.

The low Histatine-5 (HST-5) level of the saliva can lead to vaginal candidiasis. Because HST-5 level in the saliva can effect vaginal Ph, flora and local defence mechanisms. Histatine-5 is secreted in the parotis and submandibular glands. İt riches histidine amino ascid and have antifungal activity. Salivary proteins and their plasma levels were found as similar in the literature.

Non-interventional extension study to investigate VVC recurrence and candida colonization following the P2 acute VVC study

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.

To determine proportion of women achieving clinical and mycological cure or have recurrences / reinfection after being treated for an acute episode of vulvovaginal candidiasis.

Epidemiological study about the clinical and microbiological progress in subjects under treatment for a severe vulvovaginal candidiases episody

The overall objective of this clinical pilot study is to determine at a random sampling time, the vaginal microbiome and metabolome of pregnant women, and to see if infection (bacterial vaginosis, vulvovaginal candidiasis, malaria) and exposure to environmental toxins affects could alter pregnancy and conception outcomes. It is hypothesized that infection and toxins will alter the vaginal microbiome and metabolome, increasing the risk of preterm labour and infertility in Rwandan women. In a sub-group of subjects, a preliminary assessment of the ability of orally administered probiotic lactobacilli to restore the vaginal microbiota to a healthy state and lower environmental toxins will be completed.

Background: - Vaginal yeast infections are caused by a fungus called Candida. Candida can live harmlessly in the vagina, but most women will have symptoms from a vaginal yeast infection at some point during their life. Antibiotics increase the risk for yeast infections, but it is unclear why. They may disrupt the balance of healthy bacteria in the vagina. This could make it harder for the body to fight off yeast infections. Researchers will give healthy women a common antibiotic or a placebo. They will study how the antibiotic affects bacteria and yeast in the vagina and other parts of the body. This will let researchers study the normal changes of healthy bacteria and yeast over time. Objectives: - To see how the study drug changes healthy bacteria in the vagina, and how these changes may increase the risk for yeast infections. Eligibility: - Healthy women ages 18 to 40 who are not allergic to penicillin. Design: Participants will be screened with medical history, physical exam (including vaginal exam), blood tests and tests for sexually transmitted diseases. Participants must take birth control pills for at least 3 months before, and during the study. Participants will take the study antibiotic or placebo for 10 days. Participants will have 7 study visits over 3 months. Visits will be timed around participants menstrual cycles. At the visits, participants will answer questions about their health and undergo tests. These may include swabs of the vagina, mouth and skin as well as blood tests. Vaginal fluid, saliva and urine will also be collected. Between visits, participants will collect stool and vaginal samples at home and bring them to the next clinic visit.
