Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Experimental: Feasibility
A non-hormonal and non-steroidal gel that supports vulvovaginal mucosal conditions and speeds up recovery post vaginal rejuvenation. It is a suitable alternative to vaginally administered estrogen and topical corticosteroids, that promotes a moist healing environment leading to faster re-epithelialization. The gel relieves symptoms such as itchiness, tenderness, dryness, burning sensation, painful intercourse (dyspareunia), painful urination (dysuria), rectal and defecating pain. It improves erythema, mucosal tissue thinning, erosions, fissures, ulcerations, scarring/adhesions and swelling. It is indicated for long-term use to maintain the health of the vaginal mucosa without the side effects of vaginally administered hormonal therapy and topical corticosteroids.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Change in Vulvovaginal Symptoms Questionnaire (VSQ) score from baseline at 12 months.
Time Frame: 12 months
The patient-rated quality of life will be assessed at baseline and during each monthly follow-up using the validated patient-rated Vulvovaginal Symptoms Questionnaire (VSQ) [min:0; max:16 (for sexually inactive patients) / max: 20 (for sexually active patients)]. A higher score thereby correlates to a worse outcome. The primary endpoint is the change from baseline VSQ score at 12 months.
12 months
Change in Vulvar Disease Quality of Life Index (VQLI) score from baseline at 12 months
Time Frame: 12 months
The patient-rated quality of life will be assessed at baseline and during each monthly follow-up using the validated patient-rated Vulvar Disease Quality of Life Index (VQLI). [min:0; max:45]. A higher score thereby correlates to a worse outcome. The primary endpoint is the change from baseline VQLI score at 12 months.
12 months

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Change in investigator-rated severity of visual clinical signs related to the disease, assessed using a 10-point Likert scale
Time Frame: 12 months
Signs (dryness, tissue thinning, erosion, fissures, erythema, scarring, contact bleeding, labial fusion, labia reabsorption and contracture of posterior introitus) are rated by the investigator during a physical assessment at baseline and after 12 months, using a 10-point Likert scale ranging from 0=normal to 10=worst possible.
12 months
Change in patient-rated symptom severity assessed using a 10-point Likert scale.
Time Frame: 12 months
Severity of symptoms (itch, burning, pain, irritation, dryness and pain during intercourse) are rated by the patient at baseline and at 12 months, using a 10-point Likert scale ranging from 0=normal to 10=worst possible.
12 months
Change in investigator-rated severity of the overall visual pathology of the disease, assessed using a 10-point Likert scale.
Time Frame: 12 months
Severity of the visual pathology is rated by the investigator during baseline and after 12 months, using a 10-point Likert scale, ranging from 0=normal to 10=worst possible. Overall visual severity may include the severity of pathology at the Clitoral Hood, Urethra Area, Vaginal Vault, Labia Majora / Minora, Fourchette, Perineum, Perianal skin, Extragential site and/or Inguinal folds.
12 months
Adverse Reactions
Time Frame: 12 months
Adverse reactions are rated by the investigator during baseline and after months 3, 6, 9, 12 months, using the dichotomous scale of presence and absence.
12 months
Product rating
Time Frame: 12 months
Product performance is rated by the patient at the final visit after 12 months, using a Likert scale from 1=unsatisfactory to 5=excellent.
12 months
Treatment adherence
Time Frame: 12 months
Treatment adherence is reported by the patient during the final study assessment, indicating the number of days/week and times/day the product was applied during the previous month. Percentage of treatment adherence is calculated from the minimum required treatment schedule.
12 months
