Brief Summary

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

The goal of this clinical trial is to improve the management of Genitourinary syndrome of menopause (GSM) to preliminary assess safety and effectivity of a novel hormone-free mucosa composition (XCMIM20m) applied topically to the vulvovaginal area. Symptoms of vaginal atrophy will be compared before and after 8 weeks of use of the tested gel with the Day-to-Day Impact of Vaginal Aging (DIVA) PROMs questionnaire to assess changes impact of GSM symptoms.

Detailed Description

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

The high prevalence of the Genitourinary Syndrome of the Menopause (GSM) previously known as vulvovaginal atrophy, atrophic vaginitis or urogenital atrophy, does not correlate with the fact that up until today GSM is still hugely underreported, underdiscussed, underdiagnosed as well as undertreated.

Postmenopausal women suffering from symptoms of GSM will be recruited after a routine visit at a Women's Unit at a General Hospital. The participants will self-assess their symptoms with the use of the Day-to-Day impact of Vaginal Aging (DIVA) questionnaire at baseline and after 8 weeks of use of the tested product. Self-assessment with PROMs will allow to obtain a greater knowledge of the physical and emotional state of patients as well as to deliver valuable information to women.

Criteria for a successful outcome will be if the use of the hormone-free agent is well accepted and if symptoms and quality of life improve after 8 weeks of intervention.

Daily dosage of XCMIM20m ((2-(trimethylazaniumyl) acetate; (2R,3R,4S)-pentane-1,2,3,4,5-pentol; Hexadecanoic acid; (9Z, 12Z)-octadeca-9,12-dienoic acid; octadecanoic acid; (Z)-hexadec-9-enoic acid; (Z)-octadec-9-enoic acid)) will be 2 ml of total product, divided in two applications of 1 ml every 12 hours, preferably morning and bedtime. To be spread topically onto the vulvar area, including the vaginal introitus. The gel will be further applied before sexual intercourse. No intravaginal applicator will be used as the agent will be manually applied directly onto the vulvar area from a 50 ml airless pump dispenser. Four pump applications from the pump dispenser are equivalent to 1ml of tested gel.

Adverse effects, such as allergic reaction, skin irritation, itching, discomfort, yeast infection, or any other, will be collected and if so, a detailed description and follow-up of the problem will be noted.

Patients diagnosed with Genitourinary Syndrome of Menopause using a non-hormonal vulvovaginal gel with tested composition XCMIM20m and PROMs questionnaire.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Hormone-free vulvovaginal gel with the tested composition XCMIM20m

Intervention Type DEVICE

Management of GSM in post-menopausal women will be measured with the combination of the application of the hormone-free vulvovaginal gel along the 8 weeks of the study and the use of a PROMs questionnaire. PROMS questionnaire will be delivered to the women at baseline and at the end of the study. Daily living quality of life domains of "activities of daily living", "emotional well-being", "sexual functioning", "self-perception and body image" will be evaluated.

* Patient must consider that her quality of life is affected by GSM symptoms
* Patient not followed due to any gynecological disease.
* All participants must be able to understand and to fill in the self-reported questionnaires.

Exclusion Criteria

* Patients that do not want to fill the questionnaire, especially the questions that address sexual functioning.
* Participants that use any oral products containing hormones or estrogen receptor modulators for the past 8 weeks, nor vaginal topical hormone products within 4 weeks, neither prescription nor non-prescription therapies for GSM, including topical vaginal non-hormonal lubricants or moisturizers for the last week.
* Patients with history of vulvar, vaginal and/or cervical malignancy.
* Patients having received radiotherapy treatment in the pelvic and/or genital region.
* Patients with any type of disease that causes alteration of collagenogenesis.
* Patients that use cytotoxic drugs leading to mucositis and alterations of tissue regeneration in the last 6 months.
* Patients having received laser and/or radiofrequency treatment for handling genital atrophy or other pelvic floor dysfunctions.
* Patients with active urinary and/or genital tract infection.
