13 Clinical Trials for Various Conditions
The hypothesis to be tested in this trial is that the different epidemiologic (including racial differences) and phenotypic manifestations exhibited by Trichomonas clinical isolates during infection are correlated with their genotypic strain classification. Two specific aims are proposed to test that hypothesis. Specific aim 1. Assess the significance of genotypic or phenotypic differences in the Trichomonas strains among African American women by HIV status. Specific aim 2. Determine the significance of genotypic or phenotypic differences in the Trichomonas strains circulating among women from two different racial groups, African American women and Caucasian women. The overall goals of these specific aims are to identify racial differences in the genotypic and phenotypic characteristics of Trichomonas strains, and to develop the ability to identify and classify Trichomonas infections in order to prioritize treatment and epidemiologic follow-up of individuals infected with isolates associated with adverse clinical outcomes (HIV transmission or acquisition, pregnancy complications, virulence, or drug resistance).
This study is designed to try to find the best method of partner notification and treatment for partners of women with trichomonas
This is a Phase 3, multi-center, prospective, randomized, placebo-controlled, delayed treatment, double-blind, study to evaluate the effectiveness, and safety of a single, oral dose of Solosec® containing 2 grams of secnidazole in female patients with trichomoniasis.
The investigators are trying a combination vaginal product of higher dose metronidazole combined with miconazole to see if it is effective in treating vaginal trichomonas.
The objective of this study was to prove the bioequivalence of Roxane Laboratories' Tinidazole 500 mg Tablet under fed conditions.
This study is a multi-center study with a minimum of three CLIA-waived intended operator sites in the United States in which prospectively self-collected vaginal specimens obtained from subjects who are symptomatic or asymptomatic for CT, NG, or TV will be evaluated with the Click Sexual Health Test in a Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments (CLIA) waived setting. Subjects interested in participating in this study will be assessed for eligibility and asked to give informed consent and assent, if applicable, by the Investigational Review Board (IRB). Only those subjects who meet the inclusion and exclusion criteria may be enrolled in the study.
This is a multi-center study with a minimum of three sites in the United States. The study will enroll approximately 1750 female subjects, 14 years of age and older, and will have a study duration of approximately 9 months after enrollment of the first subject. Female subjects seen at the participating sites for any reason will be evaluated for enrollment in this study. All subjects will be managed per standard of care as applicable. Subjects who are enrolled in the study will perform self-collection of a vaginal swab to be tested by Click device and allow the health care provider (HCP) to collect three additional vaginal swabs to be tested by recognized FDA-cleared comparator methods. Subjects will complete the study in a single visit. The primary objective is to assess the performance of the Click device for detection of Chlamydia trachomatis (CT), Neisseria gonorrhoeae (NG), and Trichomonas vaginalis (TV) in self-collected vaginal specimens as compared to Patient Infected Status (PIS) determined by three approved comparator assays using vaginal specimens collected by a qualified HCP in support of obtaining FDA clearance. and a Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments (CLIA) Waiver.

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).
To evaluate the efficacy of the adapted program a randomized controlled trial enrolling 620 eligible African American men who have sex with men (MSM) will be conducted. Men in the treatment condition will be compared to men receiving the control condition comprised of standard of care counseling from the clinic plus a free bag of condoms and water-based lubricants. This two-arm trial will test four hypotheses: Aim: To test the efficacy of a brief, clinic-based and theory-guided, intervention designed to reduce STD incidence and risk of HIV acquisition/transmission among young African American men (15-29 years old) having sex with men and presenting for STD testing. H1. Men randomized to receive the intervention will have a lower incidence rate of laboratory-confirmed STDs at each of three follow-up assessments compared to those receiving the control condition. H2. Men randomized to receive the intervention will report significantly fewer acts of unprotected penetrative sex (penile-vaginal or penile-anal) between follow-up assessments compared to those receiving the control condition. H3. Men randomized to receive the intervention will report having significantly fewer unprotected penetrative sex partners (for penile-vaginal or penile-anal sex) between follow-up assessments compared to those receiving the control condition. H4. Men randomized to receive the intervention will report having significantly fewer negative experiences with condom use between follow-up assessments compared to those receiving the control condition. H5. Men randomized to receive the intervention will demonstrate significantly greater improvement in condom application skills, throughout the 12-month study, compared to those receiving the control condition.
This research study is about vaginal infections such as bacterial vaginosis, yeast infections, and trichomoniasis. Usually, these infections can be treated with medication, but sometimes they come back after treatment. Researchers want to know if using vaginal suppositories can decrease the risk of vaginal infections. Participants will include 234 women who are sexually active (greater than or equal to 4 episodes of sex with men during the past month), HIV-negative, 18 to 45 years old, with bacterial infection \[vaginosis and/or vulvovaginal candidiasis (VVC) and/or Trichomonas vaginalis\] detected by laboratory testing at a screening visit. Women will receive vaginal suppositories containing drug or inactive ingredients (placebo). Participation in the study will be about 12 months. Study procedures include: urine and blood tests, physical exams, and questionnaires.
The purpose of this study is to determine the rates of sexually transmitted infections (STI) among a group of African American women who have sex with women (AA WSW). The first study hypothesis is that AA WSW are at risk for acquiring and transmitting STI, including the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). The second study hypothesis is that AA WSW participate in multiple high-risk sexual activities that may facilitate transmission of STIs, including HIV.
Many women present in primary care with vaginal complaints. The best way of managing these complaints is unclear. This trial will test two different methods of managing patients with vaginal complaints. This is a pilot trial.
