Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This study evaluates treatment with the medical device Ainara® compared to a HA-based gel (Hyalogin) on the improvement of vaginal dryness

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

This is an open, comparative, multicenter study that evaluates the performance and safety of the medical device Ainara®.

In this study we use polycarbophilic vaginal moisturizing gel (Ainara®) compared with a HA-based gel (Hyalogin) for symptomatic treatment of vaginal dryness and we will monitor its impact on vaginal dryness symptoms evaluated by Vaginal Health Index and Vaginal Analogue Scale.

Allocation Method

RANDOMIZED

Intervention Model

PARALLEL

This is an open-label, comparative, multicenter study with two parallel group of subjects. The clinical investigation will be performed in three clinical sites.

The calculated sample size of subjects is 50 (25 subject for each arm). To obtain this number of evaluable subjects it will be needed to screen about 60 subjects (including 6 potential screening failure) and to enroll 54 subjects (estimating 4 subjects drop out). From the equal distribution per groups of treatment point of view, the minimum and maximum number of patients recommended for each of the three centers will be 8 and 25, respectively.

The research question is: in a population of menopausal transition women affected by vaginal dryness, will a 1-month treatment with polycarbophilic vaginal gel (Ainara®) significantly decrease the symptomatology evaluated by VHI and VAS in comparison with that occurred in a group of patients treated with a HA-based gel (HyaloGyn®)?

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Ainara

Experimental: Ainara Each administration kit (subject kit) for patients of Ainara® will contain a box with 1 tube with 30 g gel, 1 cannula and 1 plunger. The gel quantity is enough for one subject over the course of the study (1 g at each administration).

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

HyaloGin

Active Comparator: HyaloGin Each administration kit (subject kit) for patients allocated to HyaloGyn® group will contain a box with: 1 tube with 30g gel and 10 single-use applicators consisting of a piston and one opaque plastic plunger.

The gel quantity is enough for one subject (3g application every three days over the course of the study).

* Systemic estrogen therapy (permitted only if terminated at least 6 months before study).
* Subjects with illness, or other medical condition that, in the opinion of the investigator, would compromise participation or be likely to lead to hospitalization during the course of the study.
