About this study
Official title: MOVHYDA (MUCO245) - Performance and Safety of MUCOGYNE® Ovule as a Moisturizer
The aim of this post-Market Clinical Follow-up (PMCF) study is to confirm the efficacy and safety of MUCOGYNE® Ovule in the maintainance of natural moisture of the vulvovaginal mucosa and in the compensation for any natural secretions deficiencies, when used in accordance with its approved labeling, in the context of vulvovaginal dryness.
- Conditions
- Vaginal Dryness
- Being tested
- Mucogyne Ovule
What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
Mucogyne OvuleDevice
At inclusion visit (V0), the Investigator will ask the subject to use MUCOGYNE® Ovule 2 times a week until symptoms improve during 5 weeks (D35± 3) preferably at bedtime
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Mucogyne treatment | Experimental | 2 planned visits for each eligible patient :
* Screening/Baseline visit : V1 at Day 0. Patient receive Mucogyne Ovule.
* End-of-study visit : V2 at Day 35 ± 3 Receives: Device: Mucogyne Ovule |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Assessment of the efficacy of MUCOGYNE® Ovule intra vaginal applications on subjects' vaginal dryness irrespective of the cause over a 35-day period of use
Primary efficacy criterion: Clinical scoring, by the investigator, of the Vaginal Health Index Score (VHIS), including evaluation of elasticity, fluid volume, pH, epithelial integrity, and moisture. The minimum score is 5 and the maximum score is 25. If VHIS <15, the vagina is considered atrophic.
Measured: Day 0 to Day 35 ± 3
Secondary outcomes (11)
Assessment of the local performance of MUCOGYNE® Ovule in reducing vulva irritation
Secondary efficacy criteria : Auto-evaluation, by the subjects, of vulva irritation on Visual Analogical Scales (VAS) from 0 to 10
Measured: Day 0 to Day 35 ± 3
Assessment of the local performance of MUCOGYNE® Ovule in reducing vulvo-vaginal discomfort
Secondary efficacy criteria : Auto-evaluation, by the subjects, of discomfort on Visual Analogical Scales (VAS) from 0 to 10
Measured: Day 0 to Day 35 ± 3
Assessment of the local performance of MUCOGYNE® Ovule in reducing itching
Secondary efficacy criteria : Auto-evaluation, by the subjects, of itching on Visual Analogical Scales (VAS) from 0 to 10
Measured: Day 0 to Day 35 ± 3
Assessment of the local performance of MUCOGYNE® Ovule in reducing pain and/or dyspareunia related to vaginal dryness
Secondary efficacy criteria : Auto-evaluation, by the subjects, of pain and/or dyspareunia on Visual Analogical Scales (VAS) from 0 to 10
Measured: Day 0 to Day 35 ± 3
Assessment of the patient's sexual function
Secondary efficacy criteria : Completion of the self-reported FSFI (Female Sexual Function Index) to investigate sexual function (for women having sexual relations). The minimum score is 2 and the maximum score is 36. An alteration in sexuality is a score less than or equal to 26,55.
Measured: Day 0 to Day 35 ± 3
Assessment of the patient's satisfaction
Secondary efficacy criteria :
- Completion of the intra vaginal treatment satisfaction questionnaire (Likert questionnaire) to assess the level of satisfaction of the treatment on the vaginal symptoms. Two questions with 5 possible answers :
- 1 : Strongly agree
- 2 : Agree
- 3 : Neither
- 4 : Disagree
- 5 : Strongly disagree
Measured: Day 0 to Day 35 ± 3
Assessment of changes in patient's clinical status
Secondary efficacy criteria :Completion of the Patients' Global Impression of Change (PGIC) Scale to assess the changes perceived by the patient following the treatment taken from 1 to 7. An improvement is a score from 1 to 3 whereas a deterioration is a score of 5 to 7. A score of 4 means stability.
Measured: Day 0 to Day 35 ± 3
Assessment by investigator of changes in patient's clinical status
Secondary efficacy criteria :Completion of the Clinical Global Impressions-Improvement (CGI-I) by the investigator to assess the changes following the treatment taken from 1 to 7. An improvement is a score from 1 to 3 whereas a deterioration is a score of 5 to 7. A score of 4 means stability.
Measured: Day 0 to Day 35 ± 3
Assessment of the safety of MUCOGYNE® Ovule
Secondary efficacy criteria : Reporting of number, nature and characteristics of any adverse event : incidence, seriousness, severity, resolution.
Measured: Day 0 to Day 35 ± 3
Assessment of the device deficiencies of MUCOGYNE® Ovule
Secondary efficacy criteria : Reporting of Device deficiencies: type of deficiency, batch number, action taken, consequence of deficiency.
Measured: Day 0 to Day 35 ± 3
Assessment of the usability of MUCOGYNE® Ovule
Secondary efficacy criteria :
- Completion of the usability question by the patient. There are 4 possible answers :
- Very easy
- Easy
- Difficult
- Very Difficult
Measured: Day 0 to Day 35 ± 3
