This study tests a vaginal treatment (FB301) to see if it helps improve the balance of bacteria in the vagina before a frozen embryo transfer. It may help women who have had a prior failed frozen embryo transfer and have a specific type of vaginal bacterial imbalance.
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 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 giving a combination of antibiotics to women with threatened very early labor (before 24 weeks) can reduce the chances of the baby being born too early and having health problems. It aims to help improve outcomes for both mother and baby.
