CandidiasisBacterial VaginosisThe purpose of this study is to determine the Efficacy, Tolerability & Safety of Combination of Clindamycin 100mg and Ketoconazole 400mg in Vaginal Capsules, used for 7 consecutive days in patients with Mixed-Type Vaginosis compared to Combination of Tetracycline 100mg and Amphotericin B 50mg in Vaginal Cream.
Kinetics and Ecology of Human Papillomavirus Genital Infections in Young Women
HPV Genital Infection (Primary Condition Studied)Bacterial Vaginosis1 moreMost genital infections by human papillomaviruses (HPV) are asymptomatic or benign and clear within a few months or years. There infections are much less studies than chronic infections, even though they represent the main reservoir for the virus. The goal of this project is to decipher the kinetics of the virus and of the host immune response in acute HPV genital infections in your women. This will be performed by following women longitudinally and regularly in order to measure variations in virus load, immune cell count, cytokine concentration and antibody titers. The investigators will also investigate the interaction between these kinetics and host genetics and host vaginal microbiota
Effect of the Etonogestrel 0.12mg/Ethinyl Estradiol 0.015mg Vaginal Ring on Vaginal Innate and Inflammatory...
VaginosisBacterialIt is not known if the use of NuvaRing® alters these innate and inflammatory biomarkers of inflammation. Hypothesis: The hypothesis is that NuvaRing® will alter inflammatory biomarkers of inflammation, such as vaginal defensin and cytokine levels, resulting in an overall anti-inflammatory milieu in the vagina. Specific aims of this study are to: Determine biomarkers of inflammation, including defensins and cytokines, concentrations in women with normal vaginal flora (Nugent Score 0 - 3) before and after NuvaRing® use Determine changes in the integrity of cervicovaginal epithelium and leukocytic concentration before and after treatment with NuvaRing® Monitor for changes in the Nugent score before and after NuvaRing® use Assess the antimicrobial activity of vaginal fluid before and after NuvaRing® use Assess HIV infectivity ex vivo on biopsy specimens before and after NuvaRing® use Methods This is a prospective, open-label, nonrandomized study. Participants will serve as their own controls. The Clinical Research Center of Eastern Virginia Medical School, Norfolk, Virginia, U.S.A. will be the only study site.
Clinical Study to Evaluate the Efficacy of HUDC_VT in Patients With Bacterial Vaginosis
Bacterial VaginosisHUDC_VT1 moreThe objective of the study is to confirm the pharmacological mechanism and evaluate the efficacy and safety after HUDC-VT administration compared to placebo in patients with bacterial vaginosis. Vaginitis in adult women is extremely common and it often results in marked suffering. Epidemiologic studies indicate the high prevalence of vaginitis and the large number of causes in US. The broad-spectrum antibiotics such as metronidazole have been used as a treatment of vaginitis.However, it is not desirable using of these antibiotics caused appearance of resistant bacterium and killing normal bacterium including lactobacillus. In addition, it has been reported that long term treatment of antibiotics can be caused body toxicity through absolution by vagina. The product, HUDC_VT, is a effective and safe vaginal tablet composed glucose and sodium chloride for treatment of vaginitis by preserving healthy condition in vagina.
Safety and Efficacy Study of Gynevac Lactobacillus Vaccine in the Treatment of Bacterial Vaginosis...
Bacterial VaginosisTo investigate the efficacy (therapeutic response) of Gynevac vaccination following a 5-shot treatment period in patients with bacterial vaginosis, based on the Nugent Score and the Amsel criteria
Role of N-Acetylcysteine in Treatment of Bacterial Vaginosis
Bacterial VaginosisN-Acetyl cysteine (NAC) is an amino acid with strong antioxidant, mucolytic and antibacterial properties, and is produced within the human body.Its effect in biofilms has been tested in several bacteria. Biofilms have recently been observed in 90% of subjects with bacterial vaginosis (BV) with Gardnerella vaginalis being the predominant species. Although a wide range of antimicrobial agents are currently available, treatment options for controlling BV are still limited. Furthermore, the number of relapses are increasing and require alternative treatments. This study is aiming to evaluate the role of NAC in treatment of BV and prevention of recurrence.
A Pilot Open-label Randomized Study of Lactofiltrum in Women With Bacterial Vaginosis
Bacterial VaginosisThis is a phase II multicenter randomized open-label clinical study that will determine whether treatment with Lactofiltrum (orally administered tablets) in combination with antibiotic therapy (metronidazole) is effective in women with bacterial vaginosis. Lactofiltrum is a composite drug that includes enterosorbent lignin and prebiotic Lactulose. It's supposed that supplement of Lactofiltrum to a standard therapy of bacterial vaginosis (metronidazole administered orally) improves women's general state, leads to better recovery of clinical, microbiological, biochemical and histological features of the disease.
Valacyclovir Suppression to Improve the Stability of Vaginal Flora Among HSV-2 Seropositive Women...
Bacterial VaginosisHerpes Simplex Virus Type IIWe will be examining the effects of suppressive valacyclovir therapy on the stability of vaginal flora in women who are seropositive for HSV-2. We have preliminary data that suggests the presence of HSV-2 increases the risk for Group B Streptococcus colonization as well as many other deleterious organisms (e.g. Streptococcus pseudoporcinus), in addition to increasing the risk for acquisition of BV-associated vaginal flora. We will be examining the effects of suppressive therapy on the vaginal flora of any HSV-2 seropositive woman.
Hyaluronic Acid and Vaginal Distress
