Bifidobacteriales infectious disease

This study compares two oral treatments for trichomonas, a common sexually transmitted infection. About 1,200 women and men with a positive test will receive either a single dose of secnidazole or multiple doses of metronidazole over several days. The goal is to see which approac…

This study tests a new treatment called FB301 in 120 women aged 18-45 with bacterial vaginosis (BV). Before FB301, some women will receive an antibiotic or a vaginal wash to see if that helps restore healthy bacteria. The goal is to improve the balance of good bacteria in the vag…

This study tests whether transplanting vaginal fluid from healthy donors can restore a healthy bacterial balance in women with recurrent bacterial vaginosis (BV). Participants receive either the transplant or a placebo after antibiotic treatment. The goal is to see if the transpl…

This study tests whether lactoferrin, a natural prebiotic from cow's milk, can be a good alternative to antibiotic tablets for women with bacterial vaginosis (BV) or thrush. Researchers will recruit 114 women and give half lactoferrin vaginal pessaries for 3 weeks, while the othe…

This early study tests whether a lactic acid gel (Phexxi) used twice weekly can change the vaginal microbiome to help prevent recurrent bacterial vaginosis and yeast infections. 22 premenopausal women with a history of these infections will use the gel for 4 weeks. Researchers wi…

This study tests a gel device called Multi-Gyn FemiTotal in 80 women with bacterial vaginosis or vaginal yeast infections. Participants use the gel for 7 days, and if symptoms clear, they are followed for 4 months to see if the infection returns. The goal is to see if the gel can…

This study tests whether a gel called Multi-Gyn ActiGel Plus can effectively treat bacterial vaginosis, a common vaginal infection. About 200 women will use the gel or a placebo twice daily for one week. Researchers will check if the infection is gone three weeks after starting t…

This study will test a new diagnostic device called the Nanopath assay, which aims to quickly detect bacteria or yeast causing vaginitis. Up to 1000 women with symptoms like itching or discharge will provide vaginal swab samples, either collected by a clinician or themselves. The…

This early-stage study tests whether LCFA-01, a natural gel containing oleic acid, is safe and comfortable when placed in the vagina. Thirty healthy women aged 18-40 will use the gel and be monitored for side effects, discomfort, and how much of the product enters the bloodstream…

This study looks at how different menstrual products—tampons, cups, and pads—affect the bacteria and immune cells in the vagina. Researchers will collect samples from 300 women aged 18-49 to compare these groups. The goal is to understand if internal products like tampons and cup…

This study is creating a data bank to better understand vaginal conditions like vulvodynia, yeast infections, bacterial vaginosis, and preterm labor. Researchers will look at proteins, immune markers, and vaginal bacteria in 550 women, including healthy volunteers and those with …
