Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
Colonization rate of Lactobacillus crispatus CTV 05 will be assessed with culture and rep-PCR.
Safety will be determined by comparing the incidence of adverse events and serious adverse events in the LACTIN-V and placebo groups as determined by clinical symptoms, physical examination, pelvic examination with colposcopy and laboratory measurements. Tolerability will be measured by percentage of subjects who discontinue study product use due to overt adverse events and percentage of subjects who adhere to complete dosing schedule. Acceptability will be assessed via a standardized questionnaire and focus group discussions.

* Cervical cryotherapy or cervical laser within the last 3 months.
* Use of a NuvaRing® within 3 days of the screening visit or during the course of the study.

* Diabetes or other significant disease or acute illness that in the Investigator's assessment could complicate the evaluation.
* Known HIV infection or positive HIV test at screening.
* Immunosuppressive drug within 60 days.
* Previous participation in a L. crispatus CTV-05 clinical study.
* Colposcopic findings at the enrollment visit involving significant deep disruption of the epithelium.
* Known allergy to any component of LACTIN-V, other significant drug allergy or to latex (condoms).
* Unavailable for follow-up visits.
* History of drug or alcohol abuse.
* At enrollment, have any social or medical condition, or psychiatric illness that, in the opinion of the Investigator, would preclude provision of informed consent, make participation in the study unsafe, complicate interpretation of study outcome data, or otherwise interfere with achieving the study objectives.
