Trial tests vaginal lactoferrin instead of medicines for BV or thrush
Part of Infections, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study checks whether using lactoferrin vaginal pessaries can work for bacterial vaginosis (BV) or thrush, compared with standard antibiotic or antifungal tablets. It’s a feasibility study, meaning the main goal is to see if the approach and home sample collection are practical.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be between 16 and 49 years old and able to consent

- Be willing to be randomly assigned to either lactoferrin pessaries or standard tablets
- Agree to collect vaginal samples at home and return them to the study team
- Avoid douching during the study (don’t rinse inside the vagina)

This study tests two new investigational drugs to treat bacterial vaginosis. It aims to see if these drugs are safe and work well. If you have BV, this trial could give you access to a new treatment option.
This early study tests whether placing a lactic acid gel inside the vagina can change the vaginal “microbiome,” the mix of germs, to help reduce repeat BV or yeast infections. You may join if you’ve had at least two recent episodes that needed treatment.
This study tests whether a vaginal probiotic called Gyntima Balance can help prevent bacterial vaginosis from coming back. If you have had repeat infections, this might be a way to reduce future episodes.
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 study tests a new vaginal treatment for bacterial vaginosis (BV), a common infection causing itching, odor, and discharge. It aims to see if the treatment is safe and works well.
This study tests a vaginal ovule (a small tablet inserted into the vagina) to see if it safely treats two common vaginal infections: bacterial vaginosis and yeast infections (candidiasis). It may help relieve symptoms like discharge, itching, and burning.
