Brief summary

This investigation is designed to demonstrate the safety and efficacy of the VR101 lubricating intravaginal ring (IVR) in treating the symptoms of vaginal dryness. In the proposed investigation, participants will use VR101 devices and sham control rings in a crossover study design. All participants who successfully complete the crossover study will be given the option to continue using VR101 for a total of 13 consecutive weeks to evaluate the long-term safety of the new device.

Detailed description

CI02, A Pivotal Clinical Investigation to Evaluate the Safety and Efficacy of J3 Bioscience Lubricating Intravaginal Ring VR101 in Relieving Symptoms of Vaginal Dryness, is a multi-center, investigator- and participant-blind, randomized crossover study designed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of VR101 and establish its substantial equivalence to the predicate device, building on the results obtained in CI01, VR101: A Pilot Study to Evaluate the Preliminary Feasibility and Safety of a Lubricating Intravaginal Ring to Relieve the Symptoms of Vaginal Dryness. The data from CI02 will be used to support a premarket 510(k) notification to the FDA to enable regulatory clearance of the device in the United States (US). At least 60 participants (up to 69 may be enrolled to account for the anticipated drop-out rate) who consent to be enrolled and meet inclusion/exclusion criteria will be enrolled in the study. To qualify, women must be over the age of 35 who self-report having experienced vaginal dryness symptoms that interfere with daily activities, including but not limited to sexual activity, in the last 60 days; and their clinician-assigned baseline VHI score must be 22 or lower. Enrolled participants will be randomly assigned to be treated initially by VR101 (GROUP V1S2) or a sham control (GROUP S1V2). Participants randomly assigned to GROUP V1S2 will insert a VR101 device and leave it in place for 7 days, then remove the first device and replace it with a fresh device on day 7. Subsequently, 2 additional devices will be inserted and removed serially on a 7-day schedule until a total of 4 devices are used by each study participant, with the last device removed at day 28. Participants assigned to S1V2 will insert a sham control ring and leave it in place for 7 days, then remove the first ring and replace it with a new ring on day 7. Subsequently, 2 additional sham rings will be inserted and removed serially on a 7-day schedule until a total of 4 sham rings are used by each study participant, with the last sham ring removed at day 28. Following completion of the first 28-day treatment course with either VR101 device or sham control, participants will undergo a 21-day washout period during which no products (devices or sham rings) will be used, before crossing over to treatment with the other product. All participants who successfully complete the crossover study will be given the option to complete the long-term safety evaluation. V1S2 participants who elect to enter the safety study will switch back to VR101 following completion of the crossover study and use a new VR101 device every day for 13 consecutive weeks. S1V2 participants who elect to enter the safety study will continue using a new VR101 device every 7 days for 9 additional weeks, or a total of 13 consecutive weeks.

Masking description

VR101 devices and Sham control rings differ only in that VR101 device rings contain glycerol-based lubricant, whereas the Sham controls do not. The product, either VR101 device or Sham ring, is randomly assigned to participants when they are enrolled in the study. Once inserted in the vagina, the devices are indistinguishable. Thus, Investigators cannot tell whether a VR101 device or Sham is in place while performing any vaginal examination. All products (VR101 devices or Sham rings) are intravaginally placed by participants in a room that is not occupied by Care Providers or Investigators, so it is impossible for them to know which product has been assigned. The packaging of all products is identical.

Intervention model description

Participants randomly assigned to GROUP V1S2 will insert a VR101 device and leave it in place for 7 days, then remove the first device and replace it with a fresh device on day 7. Subsequently, 2 additional devices will be inserted and removed serially on a 7-day schedule until a total of 4 devices are used by each study participant, with the last device removed at day 28. Participants assigned to S1V2 will insert a sham control ring and leave it in place for 7 days, then remove the first ring and replace it with a new ring on day 7. Subsequently, 2 additional sham rings will be inserted and removed serially on a 7-day schedule until a total of 4 sham rings are used by each study participant, with the last sham ring removed at day 28. Following completion of the first 28-day treatment course with either VR101 or sham control, participants will undergo a 21-day washout period during which no devices will be used, before crossing over to treatment with the other device.

NOTE: Participants who have previously undergone anterior and/or posterior vaginal repair and have received a vaginal mesh implant may have difficulty placing VR101, although no safety issues with VR101 use in CI01 participants who had vaginal mesh implants were noted.

Outcome results

Efficacy of VR101 Treatments at 28 Days Assessed by Change in VHI (Vaginal Health Index) Scores Assigned by Clinicians

The Vaginal Health Index (VHI) ranges from 5 to 20 and is calculated via addition of clinician-determined ratings for Vaginal Elasticity, Fluid Volume, Epithelial Integrity, Moisture and pH (each ranges from 1 to 5, with 5 being the best).

Time frame: Baseline, 28 Days

Population: Completers Only: Participants that completed both study periods.~Worst-Case, Non-Statistical, Per-Protocol: Subjects who didn't complete a study period were assigned the last available score for Day 28. Subjects who missed an entire study period were assigned the worst-performing change score from the remaining population for Day 28.~LOCF: Same as the per-protocol group, except participants missing an entire study period were assigned a change score of 0 (no efficacy) for that period.

The Vaginal Health Index (VHI) ranges from 5 to 20 and is calculated via addition of clinician-determined ratings for Vaginal Elasticity, Fluid Volume, Epithelial Integrity, Moisture and pH (each ranges from 1 to 5, with 5 being the best). The SAS Proc Mixed model was employed with Kenward-Roger degrees of freedom. The treatment effect was defined as the change in VHI between baseline and day 28. The subject, sequence, period and treatment were all included as effects. Furthermore, last observation carried forward (LOCF) for the raw score was used for cases where the Day 28 observation was missing within a treatment period if the subject had at least one measurement, including baseline, within the treatment period.

Efficacy of VR101 Treatments at 28 Days Assessed by Change in VHI (Vaginal Health Index) Scores Assigned by Clinicians - Post-Hoc Analysis 2

The Vaginal Health Index (VHI) ranges from 5 to 20 and is calculated via addition of clinician-determined ratings for Vaginal Elasticity, Fluid Volume, Epithelial Integrity, Moisture and pH (each ranges from 1 to 5, with 5 being the best). The missingness of VHI scores was evaluated in detail, with the eventual conclusion that a missing at random (MAR) assumption was plausible for the missing VHI scores (at either day 0 or day 28). This conclusion was supported by the observation that no participants reported withdrawing due to a lack of perceived VR101 efficacy. The analysis also modeled raw VHI values rather than the treatment effect (change in VHI from day 0 to day 28), but reported summary statistics in terms of net treatment effect. No LOCF imputations were performed.
