Can a vaginal bacteria capsule boost IVF success?

NCT ID NCT07453069

First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study tests a new treatment called FB301, a capsule containing beneficial bacteria, for women with an imbalance of vaginal bacteria who have had a failed frozen embryo transfer (IVF). Thirty women aged 18-40 will receive FB301 or a placebo during a mock IVF cycle, with some also receiving a vaginal cleanse. The goal is to see if FB301 can restore healthy bacteria levels and improve pregnancy outcomes in a subsequent real embryo transfer.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance

FB301 (a capsule containing live bacteria) and chlorhexidine vaginal cleanse

What this could lead to

If successful, this could lead to a treatment that improves the vaginal bacterial balance, potentially increasing the chance of pregnancy after frozen embryo transfer.

What could go wrong

This is a small early-phase trial with only 30 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The treatment may not improve pregnancy rates, and there is a risk of side effects from the vaginal cleanse or the bacteria.
