Clinical Performance of the Gedea Pessary in Adult Women With Vulvovaginal Candidiasis

This is a multi-centre, multi-national study to evaluate the clinical performance and safety of treatment with Gedea Pessary in adult women with confirmed vulvovaginal candidiasis (VVC). The study population will consist of post-menarchal, pre-menopausal females, 18 years or older, seeking care for VVC symptoms. A total of 26 patients are planned to be included in the study. On Day 0 (Screening, Visit 1), eligible patients will undergo a gynaecological examination, including collection of composite vulvovaginal signs-and-symptoms (CVVS) score data, and vaginal samples. Patients will be provided with 6 doses of Gedea Pessary that will be self-administered as a daily treatment (Days 0 to 5). Patients will visit the clinic on Day 7 (+2 days, Visit 2) for gynaecological examinations, including collection of CVVS data for the assessment of clinical cure and reporting of AEs and concomitant medications. On Day 14 (±2 days, Visit 3), patients that did not have a clinical and mycological cure Day 7 will re-visit the clinic for additional gynaecological examinations, including collection of CVVS data for the assessment of clinical cure. Rescue treatment will be offered during visits 2 and 3, if necessary. Patients will have a final telephone follow-up on Day 25 (±3 days, Visit 4), for for reporting of AEs, concomitant medications and potential menstruation onset. Vaginal sampling for culture and sequencing, as well as vaginal pH measurements will be performed at the clinic on Day 0, Day 7, and Day 14. On Day 25, patients will self-perform vaginal swabs at home for sequencing and vaginal culture. Patient questionnaires for assessing VVC symptoms, will be used during the treatment period (Days 0 to 5), 1 day after the treatment (Day 6) and on Days 11 and 25. Usability will be assessed on Day 7, also via the patient questionnaire. The patient questionnaire will be based on an electronic patient reported outcomes (ePRO) system, i.e. a mobile application (ViedocMe™).
