Vaginal flora test and treatment for preterm birth prevention
Treatments studied
Part of Infections, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study tests whether using a molecular test to find and treat abnormal vaginal bacteria during early pregnancy can help prevent preterm birth in women who have had a preterm birth or late miscarriage before.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are over 18 years old and between 8 and 18 weeks pregnant.

This trial tests a new live biotherapeutic product (a kind of probiotic) to treat bacterial vaginosis or yeast infections. It compares different doses to see which works best and is safest for relieving symptoms.
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 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 is testing a new way to predict early labor by looking at the bacteria in the vagina. If you are pregnant and in the hospital for possible early labor or a water break, a vaginal swab could help doctors understand why this happens.
This trial tests whether vaginal probiotics can help prevent infection in pregnant women whose water broke early (preterm rupture of membranes). It is for women with a single baby, between 24 and 32 weeks of pregnancy, who are being watched closely instead of being induced right away.
This study tests whether giving a combination of antibiotics can lower the risk of early birth and improve outcomes for babies when a mother has a very short cervix or bulging water bag between 18 and 23 weeks of pregnancy. It is for women who are not yet in active labor and whose water has not broken.
