Prospective Clinical Study, Using a Medical Device (RepHegyn) as an Adjuvant in the Treatment of Fungal (Candidiasis) and Bacterial Infections

April 13, 2026 updated by: Innate srl

Prospective Clinical Study, Using a Medical Device as an Adjuvant in the Treatment of Fungal (Candidiasis) and Bacterial Infections: Evaluation of the Safety and Efficacy of Rephegyn Vaginal Ovules

The medical device It is indicated to promote the re-epithelialization processes of the vaginal mucosa, in the prevention of vaginal conditions of bacterial and fungal origin, and as an adjuvant in their treatment.

The primary efficacy endpoint is based on the VAS symptom score (abnormal vaginal discharge, lower abdominal pain, dysuria, burning micturition, dyspareunia, vulvar irritation, and itching on a 10-point scale), specifically the percentage of patients with therapeutic success, defined as resolution of signs and symptoms of recurrent bacterial and fungal infections (total symptom score <2) at the end of treatment.

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

  • Adult
  • Older Adult

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Sampling Method

Study Population

Female: form 18 - 75 years old

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Age between 18 and 75 years
  • Signed written informed consent.
  • At least two subjective symptoms and two objective signs (at least moderate) of vaginal inflammation due to infection. Vaginal inflammation will be assessed based on six subjective symptoms (burning, pain, itching, irritation, dyspareunia, and dysuria) and four objective signs (swelling, vaginal discharge typical of the infection, pH, and presence of abrasion/erosion).
  • Confirmed recurrent bacterial vaginosis and candidiasis.
  • Patient able to maintain a patient diary during the study.
  • Patient is able to read and understand the language and content of the study materials, understands the requirements for follow-up visits, is willing to provide information at scheduled assessments, and is willing and able to comply with study requirements.

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Patients who do not sign the informed consent form
  • Other gynecological diseases, immunosuppressive diseases (e.g., HIV infection), or who are immunocompromised for reasons such as corticosteroid therapy, chemotherapy, anti-angiogenic agents, or immunosuppressants, patients with diabetes
  • Patients receiving antibiotics, anti-inflammatory agents, analgesics, antineoplastic drugs, or immunosuppressants within 4 weeks prior to study inclusion
  • History of connective tissue diseases, e.g., systemic lupus erythematosus, systemic sclerosis, Sjogren's syndrome, or mixed connective tissue disease
  • Known allergy to any component of the device
  • Subjects unable to understand the informed consent form or who have a high likelihood of non-compliance with study procedures and/or non-completion of the study according to the investigator's judgment
  • Pregnancy and breastfeeding
  • Time between the last day of the last menstrual period and the baseline visit >16 days or ≤5 days (for non-menopausal subjects).
  • Participation in other clinical studies

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
efficacy endpoint: VAS score for symptoms
Time Frame: "From enrollment to the end of treatment at 12 days (evaluation after menstrual cycle)
The primary efficacy endpoint is based on the VAS score for symptoms (abnormal vaginal discharge, lower abdominal pain, dysuria, burning micturition, dyspareunia, vulvar irritation, and itching on a 10-point scale), specifically the percentage of patients with therapeutic success, defined as resolution of signs and symptoms of recurrent bacterial and fungal infections (total symptom score <2) at the end of treatment reported below.
"From enrollment to the end of treatment at 12 days (evaluation after menstrual cycle)

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
Measure Description
Time Frame
efficacy: evaluation of pH
Time Frame: "From enrollment to the end of treatment at 12 days (after menstrual cycle)
evaluation of pH with instrument for pH
"From enrollment to the end of treatment at 12 days (after menstrual cycle)
efficacy: VAS evaluation
Time Frame: From enrollment to the end of treatment at 12 days (after menstrual cycle)
The change from the semi-quantitative baseline score, expressed both for individual signs and symptoms and for their sum (total symptom VAS)
From enrollment to the end of treatment at 12 days (after menstrual cycle)
safety endpoint
Time Frame: From enrollment to the end of treatment at 12 days (after menstrual cycle)
The safety and tolerability of the treatments will be evaluated by investigating local and expected adverse events, as a consequence of the application of the product and any other adverse events occurring during the study.
From enrollment to the end of treatment at 12 days (after menstrual cycle)

Primary Completion (Estimated)

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. For clinical studies with more than one primary outcome measure with different completion dates, this term refers to the date on which data collection is completed for all the primary outcome measures.
