Effects of Visnadin, Ethyl Ximeninate, Coleus Barbatus and Millet in Emulgel on Sexual Function in Postmenopausal Women

March 21, 2024 updated by: Chulalongkorn University

Effects of Visnadin, Ethyl Ximeninate, Coleus Barbatus and Millet in Emulgel on Sexual Function in Postmenopausal Women With Vulvovaginal Atrophy, a Randomized Controlled Trial

This clinical trial, a double blind randomized controlled trial, is conducted to determine the effects of daily topical visnadin, ethyl ximeninate, coleus barbatus and millet in emulgel on sexual function in postmenopausal women with vulvovaginal atrophy within 8-week of treatment. We compare the active ingredient in emulgel to the emulgel only. We also evaluate the improvement of the vulvovaginal atrophy symptoms in postmenopausal women, the safety and the tolerability of visnadin, ethyl ximeninate, coleus barbatus and millet in emulgel. This study is conducted in the Menopause Clinic and the Gynecology Clinic, King Chulalongkorn Memorial Hospital, Bangkok, Thailand.

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

Topical visnadin, ethyl ximeninate, coleus barbatus and millet in emulgel is a cosmetic product. Visnadin is an active ingredient which has the vasodilator effect and improve blood flow to female vulvovaginal area. This will improve lubrication from increase Bartholin's gland secretion. As the clitoral blood flow increase, the sexual response could be improved. The ethyl ximeninate, coleus barbatus and millet are plant extract which have moisturizer, anti-inflammation and antioxidant effects. Our hypothesis is a daily topical visnadin, ethyl ximeninate, coleus barbatus and millet in emulgel could improved sexual function and vulvovaginal atrophic symptoms in postmenopausal women with vulvovaginal atrophy.

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.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Sexual function
Time Frame: 8-week
Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI) The full scale (overall) score of the FSFI can be derived from the six domain scores; desire, arousal, lubrication, orgasm, satisfaction and pain. The minimum value is 2.0 and maximum value is 36.0, and the higher scores mean a better outcome.
8-week
Vulvovaginal atrophic symptoms score
Time Frame: 8-week
4-likert scale; 0 = no symptom, 1= mild symptom, 2 = moderate symptom, 3 = severe symptom The minimum is 0 and maximum value is 4, and the higher scores mean a worse outcome.
8-week

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure

Time Frame
Adverse event and tolerability
Time Frame: 8-week
