Vaginal Testosterone Cream For Atrophic Vaginitis in Women Taking Aromatase Inhibitors for Breast Cancer.
Description

Atrophic vaginitis is a condition in which the skin lining of the vagina and labia becomes thin and symptoms develop including vaginal itching, vaginal discomfort and dyspareunia. These can significantly affect women's comfort, sexuality and quality of life. Treatment for this condition includes estrogen given in pill form, commonly known as hormone replacement therapy and local estrogen treatments, such as vaginal estrogen creams and topical vaginal lubricants. Unfortunately, systemic estrogen is contraindicated in many women with breast cancer. Some providers also feel that women who are taking aromatase inhibitors for their breast cancer should also not use local estrogens as several small studies suggest that these treatments might effect estrogen levels and thus might change how effective the aromatase inhibitors are. If these women choose not to use any form of estrogen therapy there symptoms may not be well controlled with other treatments. The investigators hypothesize that a vaginal testosterone cream might be a safe and effective alternative treatment for these women. This small study is intended to test the hypothesis that testosterone cream will not increase estrogen (estradiol) levels and that it will improve the symptoms of atrophic vaginitis including vaginal dryness, vaginal itching and pain with intercourse. The investigators will enroll women in the trial who are taking an aromatase inhibitor and have the symptoms mentioned above. They will receive a testosterone cream which will be applied vaginally once a day for 28 days. If good results are found with a prespecified dose of testosterone, a lower dose will be tested in the next group of women enrolled.

Performance Study of the Cobas® BV/CV Test on Samples From Participants With and Without Symptoms of Bacterial Vaginosis and Candida Vaginitis
Description

In the clinical performance part of this study, prospectively acquired clinician-collected and clinician-instructed, self-collected vaginal swab specimens collected in cobas® PCR Media will be taken from a minimum of 500 symptomatic individuals with a clinical presentation consistent with vaginitis, vaginosis, or both. Additionally, a minimum of 100 asymptomatic individuals will also be enrolled in the study. The cobas® BV/CV assay amplifies and detects the deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) of pathogens associated with bacterial vaginosis (BV) and candida vaginitis (CV). The BV results will be compared with the patient infection status (PIS) established by using 3 Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-cleared commercial assays, and the CV results will be compared with the PIS established with the use of culture plus MALDI-TOF (matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight). The primary objective of the clinical performance study is to evaluate the performance (sensitivity and specificity) of cobas® BV/CV to determine the presence of BV and/or CV in the intended use patient population when being tested on cobas® 6800/8800 systems. The secondary objective is to evaluate the equivalency of cobas® BV/CV between the cobas® 5800 system and cobas® 6800/8800 systems.

Diagnosing Bacterial Vaginosis/Vaginitis (BV) Using the Gynecologene Test Method
Description

This study is designed as a prospective evaluation of the diagnostic performance of the multiplex nucleic acid-based genetic test (Gynecologene Next-Generation Sequencing test) to identify known significant causative organisms in bacterial vaginosis/vaginitis and other major pathogens and normal commensals in symptomatic women during the reproductive years. Vaginal fluid samples will be split and tested with the comparator methods and Nugent score, with the results evaluated according to sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, and negative predictive value. Laboratorians performing each test will be blinded to the clinical history and any prior test results to minimize ascertainment bias. Each subject will be followed routinely for up to 6 weeks after initial visit for vaginosis/vaginitis by telephone or office visit at the discretion of the treating physician.

Comparing NAAT Testing to Standard Methods for the Diagnosis of Vaginitis
Description

Vaginitis is the most common condition encountered in the gynecologist's office and is most commonly caused by bacerial vaginosis (BV), vulvovaginal candidiasis (VVC) and Trichomonas vaginalis (TV). Establishing the correct etiology of symptomatic vaginitis can be challenging, and the evaluation of vaginitis by physicians is often substandard. The investigators will determine whether NAAT testing will improve the diagnosis of vaginal infections including bacterial vaginosis (BV), vulvovaginal candidiasis (VVC) and Trichomonas vaginalis (TV).

A Trial to Evaluate the Efficacy of Low Dose Vaginal Estrogens in the Treatment of Atrophic Vaginitis
Description

Atrophic vaginitis is a common problem that occurs in up to 40% of postmenopausal women. The main symptoms are dryness, itching and burning in and around the vagina. These symptoms in turn can cause pain with intercourse. Other symptoms can include urinary frequency and urinary urgency. These symptoms are caused by the decreasing levels of estrogens in postmenopausal women. The current treatment options include hormone replacement therapy by mouth and patch and vaginal creams, tablets and rings. The current guideline recommend using hormone therapy at the lowest dose for the shortest time. We are trying to find the lowest effective dose of estrogen cream that helps with symptoms without causing an increase in estrogens in the blood stream. We want to compare two estrogen creams, estradiol and estriol, each at very low doses, with a placebo cream. Estradiol cream is available on prescription but we want to see how effective it is at one tenth the commonly prescribed dose. Estriol cream is not commonly prescribed and is only available at compounding pharmacies. We want to see if either of these estrogens is effective at one tenth the usual dose. We also want to see if these creams are effective when massaged onto the outer part of the vagina, rather than the usual method of treatment, which is inserting them into the vagina.

Point of Care Diagnosis of Vaginal Infections
Description

Vaginal infections are a common gynecologic issue and may cause significant symptoms and discomfort for individuals. Point of care tests are used to diagnose infections in the office, with an advantage of quick diagnosis and treatment. Examples of point of care tests are urine pregnancy, rapid strep and COVID-19 tests. This study will enroll persons with vaginal complaints and compare diagnosis and treatment based on usual care to diagnosis and treatment using a Food and Drug Administration-approved point of care test for the diagnosis of vaginitis. The study is being done to better understand diagnosis, treatment, and satisfaction using point of care tests compared to usual care. Participants will be randomized to one of two study arms: Arm 1: the healthcare provider will perform their usual evaluation and tests to make the diagnosis and provide treatment, as needed. Arm 2: the provider will be asked to use the results of the point-of-care test being used in the study to make the diagnosis and provide treatment, as needed. Regardless of arm, all diagnoses and treatment will be provided through the healthcare provider. All participants will be contacted 2 weeks later to answer a questionnaire related to diagnosis, treatment, current symptoms, and satisfaction with their visit. Medical records related to vaginal complaints, up to 30 days from enrollment, will be reviewed by the study team to obtain information on symptoms, tests performed, results, and treatments prescribed.

Serum Estradiol Levels In Postmenopausal Women With Breast Cancer Receiving Adjuvant Aromatase Inhibitors and Vaginal Estrogen
Description

The purpose of this study is to see if Vagifem® 10mcg is safe for women who have had breast cancer. Vagifem is an estrogen product. It is a tiny tablet that is inserted into the vagina. It relieves vaginal dryness. Women who have had breast cancer are usually told not to take estrogen. This is because estrogen use can lead to a breast cancer recurrence or a new primary breast cancer. It is unclear if the estrogen in Vagifem is only absorbed in the vagina. It may be absorbed into the blood stream for a short time and may cause a brief rise in your estrogen level. However, there is no clear evidence that this would cause any bad effects in patients with breast cancer. How much, if any, of these topical estrogens are absorbed through the vagina is not known. We also do not know what the impact is of low dose estrogen absorption on breast cancer outcomes. Also, the absorption should decrease as the mucus membranes are restored after estrogen exposure.

Treatment of Gardnerella Vaginalis Vaginal Colonization With Amoxicillin
Description

This is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled Phase 2 study designed to determine if amoxicillin will eradicate vaginal colonization/infection with Gardnerella vaginalis (GV) when administered to women who are colonized/infected with GV but have no clinical evidence of Bacterial Vaginosis (BV). The study will be conducted at 2 clinics in the United States: University of Alabama at Birmingham and Wake Forest University Health Sciences. Entire study duration is approximately 24 months and subject participation duration is approximately 22 days. Approximately 245 healthy adult females, 18 to 45 years of age will be screened to enroll approximately 98 participants to achieve 82 evaluable participants at the test of cure (ToC) visit. Participants will be enrolled and randomized to one of two groups, either amoxicillin (2 x 250 mg capsules by mouth twice daily for 7 days) or placebo. Women who are enrolled will be asked to return for one further visit, Visit 2 (Day 15 - 21), where a ToC will be completed. For those not enrolled, participation will end at their post screening follow up phone call. Women will be asked to use condoms during their participation. The primary objective is to determine if treatment with amoxicillin eradicates GV in women who are colonized/infected with GV but have no clinical evidence of BV.
