Active clinical trials for "Vaginitis"

The objective of the study is to determine the efficacy of 7-0940 in the management of atrophic vaginitis in female patients

This is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled Phase 2 study designed to determine if amoxicillin will eradicate vaginal colonization/infection with Gardnerella vaginalis (GV) when administered to women who are colonized/infected with GV but have no clinical evidence of Bacterial Vaginosis (BV). The study will be conducted at 2 clinics in the United States: University of Alabama at Birmingham and Wake Forest University Health Sciences. Entire study duration is approximately 24 months and subject participation duration is approximately 22 days. Approximately 245 healthy adult females, 18 to 45 years of age will be screened to enroll approximately 98 participants to achieve 82 evaluable participants at the test of cure (ToC) visit. Participants will be enrolled and randomized to one of two groups, either amoxicillin (2 x 250 mg capsules by mouth twice daily for 7 days) or placebo. Women who are enrolled will be asked to return for one further visit, Visit 2 (Day 15 - 21), where a ToC will be completed. For those not enrolled, participation will end at their post screening follow up phone call. Women will be asked to use condoms during their participation. The primary objective is to determine if treatment with amoxicillin eradicates GV in women who are colonized/infected with GV but have no clinical evidence of BV.

In this open label study, 50 eligible women will be assigned to receive the investigational product (IZN-6NVS) - 2.5 g of cream/day for 14 days, followed by 3 applications per week for the next 4 weeks. Clinical assessment of the severity of vaginitis will be performed at baseline and after 2 and 6 weeks of treatment. The study will evaluate safety, tolerability and efficacy of IZN-6NVS vaginal cream, in the treatment of atrophic vaginitis (AV) and desquamative inflammatory vaginitis (DIV).

This trial is conducted in Europe. The aim of this trial is to to evaluate the extent of systemic absorption of estradiol during treatment with two different doses of estradiol in postmenopausal women with atrophic vaginitis.

This trial is conducted in Europe. The purpose of this study is to evaluate endometrial safety of intravaginal estradiol (Vagifem®) in healthy postmenopausal women having atropic vaginitis.

The purpose of this study is to determine the therapeutic equivalence of Mylan's estradiol vaginal cream to Estrace® cream and superiority of both products to placebo. The protocol describes a randomized, double-blind, multi-dose, placebo-controlled, parallel study of a 7 day treatment.

The overall goal of this project is to determine the influence of patient treatment and host factors on repeat Trichomonas vaginalis (TV) infections among HIV-negative women

Malaria in pregnancy has devastating consequences for mother and foetus. WHO recommends intermittent preventive treatment in pregnancy (IPTp) with sulphadoxine-pyrimethamine (SP) for asymptomatic women, but high-level parasite resistance to SP threatens its efficacy. Dihydroartemisinin-piperaquine (DP) has the potential to replace SP for IPTp. However, the DP strategy has not been found to be superior to SP for reducing the incidence of low birthweight (LBW), small-for-gestational age (SGA), or preterm birth. This may be the result of sulphadoxine having antibacterial properties; it is derived from sulphonamide, which have been used for decades to treat curable STIs/RTIs. However, SP is unlikely to be curative of STIs/RTIs, nor highly effective against malaria parasites. Thus, combination treatment that contains a more efficacious antimalarial and a more efficacious anti-STI/RTI may produce better birth outcomes. The investigators will therefore determine whether combining SP with metronidazole (MTZ) or, separately, DP with MTZ can improve birth outcomes more than SP alone, potentially paving the way for integrated control strategies that will reduce the dual burden of malaria and curable STIs/RTIs. This is an individually-randomized, 3-arm, partially-placebo controlled superiority trial comparing the efficacy, safety and tolerance of IPTp-SP versus IPTp-SP with MTZ, or IPTp-DP with MTZ to reduce adverse birth outcomes attributable to malaria and curable STIs/RTIs in 5,436 women in the Nchelenge District of Zambia.

This study aims to evaluate the efficacy of an intervention designed to reduce STI/HIV incidence by increasing the number of adolescent mothers who re-enroll and remain in school. The objective of the intervention is to have older mentor mothers, who themselves were pregnant adolescents, to mentor younger adolescent mothers. Mentor mothers will provide ongoing psychosocial support, help navigate re-admission to school, and help facilitate access to an existing State-sponsored cash transfer, the child support grant (CSG), in the early postpartum period. Our combination social protection program will enhance resilience of young adolescent mothers to facilitate their return to school and thereby reduce HIV risk. The investigators will evaluate the efficacy of the intervention using a pre-test post-test randomized controlled trial design. Participants in the intervention will receive the Mentoring Adolescent Mothers At School (MAMAS) intervention and standard postpartum care. Those in the control arm will receive standard postpartum care. Additionally, for those participants randomized to the intervention arm, mentor mothers will use participatory visual methods (e.g., photovoice, cell-films, drawings) as part of the intervention itself. Last, among those participants randomized to the intervention arm and who return for their 9-month assessment, the investigators will conduct 20 in-depth interviews to understand the process of resilience development from their perspective. Primary outcomes: School outcomes (initial outcomes) HYP 1.1: Program participation will increase school enrollment HYP 1.2: Program participation will increase school engagement HIV risk outcomes (intermediate outcomes) HYP 2.1: Program participation will reduce number of sexual partners HYP 2.2: Program participation will reduce inconsistent condom use HYP 2.3: Program participation will reduce intimate partner violence HYP 2.4: Program participation will decrease HIV/STI infection HYP 2.5 (for HIV+): Program participation will increase retention in care Secondary outcomes: HYP 5: Program participation will increase peer support HYP 6: Program participation will increase familial support HYP 7: Program participation will increase school re-admission HYP 8: Program participation will increase application to the child support grant HYP 9: Program participation will increase receipt of the child support grant

The primary aims of the study were to assess the safety and acceptability of Carraguard ™ (PC-515) when applied vaginally at least three times weekly for 6-12 months. Secondary aims were to gather preliminary data on Carraguard's effectiveness in preventing male-to-female transmission of HIV. The hypothesis was that Carraguard would cause little or no significant irritation, including lesions; that women would find Carraguard acceptable. The study was not powered to determine effectiveness, but based on safety, acceptability and feasibility parameters, the outcome of the Phase 2 trial would enable a decision whether or not to proceed to a Phase 3 efficacy trial.
