Study Summary

Candidiasis is an infection caused by a yeast (a type of fungus) called Candida. Candidiasis in the vagina is commonly called a "vaginal yeast infection." Another names for this infection is "vaginal candidiasis". The symptoms of vaginal candidiasis include: Vaginal itching or soreness, Pain during sexual intercourse, Pain or discomfort when urinating and Abnormal vaginal discharge. VagiVitalAC is a modified version of the existing gel VagiVital, formulated to act as a treatment for fungal infections.

This clinical investigation is a two-part study consisting of a pilot part followed by a randomized part. The aim of the pilot part is to evaluate if VagiVitalAC is able to cure the vulvovaginal candidiasis in at least 70% of the patients after 7 days treatment. If the proportion of cured patients is at least 70 %, the next part, the randomized part, will be performed. In the randomized part, the treatment efficacy and safety of VagiVitalAC on candida vulvovaginitis will be evaluated by comparing a treatment group with a control group receiving no treatment.
