About this study

Official title: A Phase 3, Double-blind, Multicentre, Randomised, Placebo-controlled Study to Assess the Efficacy and Safety of SPL7013 Gel (VivaGel) for the Treatment of Bacterial Vaginosis

The primary objective of the study is to assess the efficacy of 1% SPL7013 Gel compared to placebo gel for the treatment of bacterial vaginosis (BV).

After screening eligible participants will be randomized to receive either 1% SPL7013 Gel or hydroxyethyl cellulose (HEC) placebo gel at a dose of 5g administered vaginally at bedtime for 7 consecutive days. Participants will be assessed for BV (both by Amsel criteria and Nugent score) at screening/Baseline, after last application (End of Treatment, EOT, Day 9-12) and at the final study visit approximately 2-3 weeks after last dose (Test of Cure, TOC, Day 21-30).

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Number of Women With Clinical Cure at the End of Treatment Visit (EOT)

    Clinical Cure is defined as the resolution of clinical findings (ie Amsel criteria) from the Baseline visit (Day 1)

    Measured: Day 9-12

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Number of Women With Nugent Cure at the EOT Visit

    Nugent Cure is defined as a Nugent score of 0-3 (normal)

    Measured: Day 9-12

  2. Number of Women With Clinical Cure at the Test of Cure Visit (TOC)

    Clinical Cure is defined as the resolution of clinical findings (ie Amsel criteria) from the Baseline visit (Day 1)

    Measured: Day 21-30

  3. Number of Women With Nugent Cure at the TOC Visit

    Nugent Cure is defined as a Nugent score of 0-3 (normal)

    Measured: Day 21-30

  4. Adverse Events Potentially Related to Treatment

    Number of participants experiencing adverse events considered potentially related to study treatment.

    Measured: Screening/baseline through TOC visit, Day 1-30

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing 1% SPL7013 Gel in people with Bacterial Vaginosis, run by Starpharma Pty Ltd.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 17 Jul 2019. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 9 Jul 2019). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Number of Women With Clinical Cure at the End of Treatment Visit (EOT) (time frame: Day 9-12). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 17 Jul 2019.
