Assessment of the Efficacy of POLYGYNAX® in the Empirical Treatment of Infectious Vaginitis International, Multicentre, Randomised, Double-blind, Parallel Group Study, Comparative Versus Miconazole
POLYGYNAX® is a broad spectrum combination of nystatin, neomycin and polymixin B indicated for the local treatment of vaginitis due to sensitive germs and treatment of non specific vaginitis of adults. POLYGYNAX® has been marketed in France since 1969.
Nevertheless, despite the well established use of POLYGYNAX®, there is no clinical study supporting the interest of the combination of antifungal and antibiotics agents versus antifungal agent alone.
The aim of this project is to demonstrate that POLYGYNAX® is more effective than miconazole in the treatment of women experiencing symptoms of infectious vaginitis.
Open Multicenter Clinical Study of the Efficacy of the Local Treatment With Polygynax of Mycotic and/or Bacterial Vaginitis
Open prospective multicenter phase IV study in patients presenting with symptoms of bacterial and/or mycotic (mushroom) vaginitis for 12 days as specified in the product information.
Investigators/centers: 20 gynacologists are previewed to do the study in ambulatory treatment.
Objectifs of the study:
Principal objectif:
Evaluation of the efficacy of the treatment on the clinical symptoms of bacterial and/or mycotic vaginitis
Secondary objectif:
Evaluation of the efficacy of the treatment on eradication of the diagnosed germs Evaluation of the correspondence of the efficacy on the symptoms and on the eradication of the germs.
Numbers of patients previewed: 100 patients for evaluation of the efficacy
Criteria of evaluation
Principal criteria:
Clinical efficacy as judged by the investigator Secondary criteria:evaluation of clinical symptoms judged by the patient reduction or emlimination of bacteria and other germs the relationship between clinical and bacterial results
Evaluation of tolerance
Used Study Drug:
Polygynax, vaginal capsule consisting of Polymyxin 35000 UI, Neomycin 35000UI and Nystatin 100000UI Application: vaginal application once daily in the evening for 12 days
Study design:
Visit 1:
All patients presenting with the clinical symptoms, presenting all inclusion criteria and none of the exclusion criteria are included in the study at visit 1 and receive Polygynax treatment (one vaginal capsule once daily in the evening).
A vaginal smear is obtained. Visit 2 (optional) If the results of the bacteriological examination confirms an infection with germs sensible to the treatment with Polygynax the treatment is continued. If other germs not sensible to Polygynax are present, the patients is contacted to stop the treatment, to come back to a second visit to her gynacologist who will change the treatment. The other patients continue the treatment.
Visit 3:
After the treatment the patients come back to the last visit. A clinical evaluation and a vaginal smear for control is obtained.
