Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: To evaluate whether vaginal tablets containing 10 mg dequalinium chloride (Fluomizin) are comparable in clinical efficacy to metronidazole 500 mg oral tablets in women suffering from bacterial vaginosis;Secondary Objective: •To assess the clinical, bacteriological, and therapeutic cure rate on short-term and/or long-term follow-up • To evaluate subjective assessment of efficacy and tolerability • To further explore the safety profile of Fluomizin in this patient population;Primary end point(s): The primary efficacy variable is the clinical cure rate at C1 (8 to 10 days after randomization) defined as all Amsel criteria (greyish white thin discharge; KOH test or ‘fishy’ smell; presence of > 20% clue cells; vaginal pH > 4.5) are negative excluding the pH.;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: at C1 (8 to 10 days after randomization)

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Secondary end point(s): 1. Clinical cure rate at follow-up (at C2 = at 24 to 30 days after randomization) 2. Bacteriological cure rate at C1 and C2 3. Therapeutic cure rate at C1 and C2 4. Individual Amsel criteria at C1 and C2 5. The development of the Nugent Score within 3 categories, i.e. (1) cured, (2) intermediate, and (3) BV positive 6. Subjective assessment of efficacy 7. Incidence of adverse events 8. Subjective assessment of tolerability;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: at C1 (8 to 10 days after randomization) and at C2 (24 to 30 days after randomization)
