Short and long-term effect of polycarbophil vaginal gel on vaginal atrophy of peri- and post-menopausal women. The TRIPLE study.

Objectives: This TRIPLE study was aimed to evaluate the efficacy of polycarbophil vaginal gel (PCV) in treating symptoms of vaginal atrophy (VA) of peri- and post-menopausal women.

Materials And Methods: Sexually active women in peri- (n = 29) and post-menopause (n = 54) suffering from VA, were progressively enrolled and treated for 30 days with PCV. Those wishing to continue (n = 73) were treated for additional 180 days.

POLARIS: efficacy and safety of a vaginal medical device in recurrent bacterial vaginosis-a multicenter, open-label, non-controlled, study with 10 months of follow-up.

Objective: Recurrent bacterial vaginosis (RBV) after antibiotic treatment has relapse rates of 35% within 3 months and 60% within 12 months. A medical device containing polycarbophil, lauryl glucoside, and glycerides (PLGG) inhibits bacterial growth and has mucoadhesive properties. This study examined the efficacy of the device in women with RBV.

Performance and Safety of a New Medical Device (Polybactum) for Reducing the Recurrence Rate of Bacterial Vaginosis: Protocol for a Multicenter, Open-Label, Noncontrolled International Clinical Trial (POLARIS Study).

Background: The medical literature has reported that recurrent bacterial vaginosis (RBV) has a relapse rate of 35% within 3 months and 60% within 12 months after antibiotic administration. Products that are able to provide a barrier effect against the biofilm produced by Gardnerella vaginalis could play a role in improving the results of bacterial vaginosis (BV) treatment.

Objective: This study aims to assess the performance and safety of a medical device (Polybactum) containing polycarbophil, lauryl glucoside, and glycerides (PLGG) for reducing the rate of recurrence of BV.

Polycarbophil vaginal moisturizing gel versus hyaluronic acid gel in women affected by vaginal dryness in late menopausal transition: A prospective randomized trial.

Objectives: During menopausal transition, women are frequently affected by vulvovaginal atrophy (VVA), due to the decline of estrogen levels. Resulting symptoms are itching, burning, dyspareunia, and vaginal dryness (reported in up to 85%). The aim of this trial was to verify if medical device polycarbophil vaginal (PCV) moisturizer gel is not less effective than hyaluronic acid (HA) gel in treating vaginal dryness.
