Study penis microbiome in partners during vaginal microbiome treatment
Part of Infections, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your regular female partner is enrolled in the VMT study (NCT04517487)
- Your female partner says you are her regular male partner
- You are willing to use condoms the way the study team instructs
- You are willing to follow the study’s “decolonization” steps
- No known skin disease affecting your penile skin
- You do not have a known sensitivity to chlorhexidine gluconate

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 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 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.
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 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 looks at the natural balance of bacteria and other factors in the vagina of healthy women. It aims to learn more about what a healthy vaginal ecosystem looks like.
