April 4, 2018 updated by: CDA Research Group, Inc.

An Open-Label, Randomized Study to Determine the Safety and Efficacy of LUXSOL(TM) Cream for the Treatment of Bacterial Vaginosis: A Proof of Concept Study

LUXSOL Cream may be useful for the treatment of bacterial Vaginosis. In this study, LUXSOL Cream is compared to a control arm group using metronidazole cream. LUXSOL is administered intravaginally for 10 days, each evening before bedtime to treat bacterial Vaginosis..

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Detailed Description

LUXSOL Topical Cream is a copper containing topical cream indicated for the treatment of bacterial vaginosis (BV). The study is an open-label, randomized, controlled study comparing LUXSOL Cream to Metrogel in patients with a diagnosis of BV. The investigational product or the comparator product will be self-administered by the patient for 10 consecutive nights. A successful patient outcome is cured BV at 30 days.

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

18 years to 80 years (Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Genders Eligible for Study

Primary Completion (Actual)

Primary Completion

The date on which the last participant in a clinical study was examined or received an intervention to collect final data for the primary outcome measure. Whether the clinical study ended according to the protocol or was terminated does not affect this date.
