Bacterial Vaginoses

This is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical investigation. The objective of the study is to confirm the efficacy of Multi-Gyn ActiGel Plus to treat BV as compared to a placebo control. Treatment arm 1: Multi-Gyn ActiGel Plus Treatment arm 2: placebo gel Both the Multi-Gyn ActiGel Plus and the placebo will be applied twice a day for 7 consecutive days. Visit 2 will be performed at 3 weeks after start of treatment A phone call will take place, at 5 weeks after start of treatment for subject with clinical cure at Visit 2. The total duration per subject is estimated 5 weeks and the total study duration is 13 months. Sample size is 100 subjects per treatment arm.

Vaginal Microbiome Transplantation (VMT) may be beneficial in treating the most severe cases of recurrent and antibiotics-nonresponsive cases of BV. Recently, we completed a preliminary study in which we treated patients with recurrent and antibiotics-non-responsive, intractable BV, with VMT from healthy donors \[Lev-Sagie, Nature Medicine 2019\]. Four VMT recipients in this preliminary study featured a significant improvement of both clinical symptoms and dysbiotic vaginal microbiome composition and function, which persisted over a long follow-up period, while one recipient featured a partial remission. The proposed study is designed as a placebo, randomized controlled trial, and is aimed to further assess whether VMT may serve as a viable option in symptomatic, intractable BV. In the suggested study, we plan to compare transplantation of: 1) vaginal fluid from healthy donors, and 2) autologous transplantation, of the patient's own vaginal fluid.
