Fecal-style transplant of vaginal microbiome for recurring BV
Treatments studied
Part of Infections, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This trial tests whether transplanting “good bacteria” into the vagina can treat recurrent bacterial vaginosis (BV). It may help restore a healthier vaginal bacterial balance and reduce BV episodes.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are a premenopausal woman age 18 to 50
- Your BV test result shows an abnormal Nugent score (greater than 3)
- You have had recurrent BV with 3 or more documented episodes in the last 12 months
- If you could get pregnant from sex, you agree to use effective birth control during the study
- You have not had certain recent vaginal/cervical/uterine infections (other than BV) and no major reproductive tract conditions
- You have not used certain medicines recently (like probiotics/prebiotics or antibiotics) and have no metronidazole allergy

This study tests whether a specific probiotic—Lactobacillus crispatus—can help prevent bacterial vaginosis from coming back. If you have had BV multiple times and recently finished antibiotics, you may be able to join.
This study tests a medical device called Vagitab-T as an extra treatment for women with bacterial vaginosis who are already taking the antibiotic metronidazole. It may help prevent the infection from coming back.
This study tests whether introducing beneficial organisms into the vagina can help treat bacterial vaginosis (a common vaginal imbalance). You'll be part of the FRESH research program and receive either the treatment or a comparison option.
This study tests whether adding probiotics to standard care helps treat bacterial vaginosis (BV) and possibly lowers the chance of it coming back. You would be placed into a study group to compare probiotic treatment with the other approach.
This trial tests a pre-treatment with chlorhexidine and/or metronidazole before a new drug called FB301 in women with bacterial vaginosis (BV). It aims to see if this combination is safe and works well.
This study looks at how the bacteria on a man’s penis may change during a woman’s vaginal microbiome transplant (VMT) for recurrent bacterial vaginosis (BV). You may be asked to follow condom and “decolonization” steps to help the researchers understand what works and why.
