What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI) score compared to baseline

    The Change in FSFI from the baseline event and at 4-weeks post baseline

    Measured: 4 weeks after baseline

Secondary outcomes (8)
  1. Change from baseline in the Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI) individual domain scores

    Change from baseline in the FSFI individual domain scores (desire, arousal, lubrication, orgasm, satisfaction, and pain) at 4-weeks post baseline

    Measured: 4 weeks after baseline

  2. Overall proportion of subjects with Adverse Events/Adverse Device Effects (AE/ADEs)

    Overall proportion of subjects with Adverse Events/Adverse Device Effects (AE/ADEs) i.e. the occurrence of one of more AE/ADE per subject.

    Measured: 4 weeks

  3. Subject perception of the personal lubricants through Subject Percieved Questions

    Subjects' perception of each of the five personal lubricants will be determined through Subject Perceived Questions

    Measured: Initial application (within 24 hours of intercourse) and after 4 weeks

  4. Global evaluation of the personal lubricants (subjective opinion)

    • Subjects global evaluation of the five personal lubricants will be determined through global evaluation of effectiveness, tolerability and usability

    Measured: 4 weeks after baseline

  5. Vaginal Epithelial Tolerability (VET)

    An assessment of the Vaginal Epithelial Tolerability (VET) of the five personal lubricants as assessed by gynaecologist examination.

    Measured: Baseline, 2 and 24 hours post single application

  6. Tolerability as assessed by Subject Perceived Questions

    Tolerability of the five personal lubricants will be determined through Subject Perceived Questions

    Measured: 24 hours post single application.

  7. Global Assessment of Tolerance for each subject by a Gynaecologist

    Determined by professional assessment of each individual.

    Measured: 24 hours post single application

  8. Overall Tolerance Rating Statement for each lubricant by a Gynaecologist

    An overall summary statement of tolerance of each lubricant will be made by the Gynaecologist, taking into consideration all tolerance assessments across all subjects and the nature of the IP in its intended use

    Measured: 24 hours post single application

Model description
The personal lubricants will be tested in a 5-arm parallel-design, where subjects will be randomised to an arm/lubricant. This follows an initial tolerance phase conducted in a sub-set of the population which will be tested in a 5-arm parrallel design,where subjects will be randomised to an arm/lubricant. Note: subjects participating in the both the tolerability and treatment phases will be enrolled into an arm for each which includes the same IP/lubricant throughout both phases.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Lubricant A, Lubricant B and Lubricant C in people with Dyspareunia and Vaginal Dryness, run by Reckitt Benckiser Healthcare (UK) Limited at 1 site in Germany.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 9 inclusion and 24 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 2 Jul 2021. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Germany. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI) score compared to baseline (time frame: 4 weeks after baseline). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 2 Jul 2021.
