A Study of Oral Oteseconazole (VT-1161) for the Treatment of Patients With Recurrent Vaginal Candidiasis (Yeast Infection)

Phase 3
Completed
Conditions
Recurrent Vulvovaginal Candidiasis
Interventions
Registration Number
NCT03561701
Lead Sponsor
Mycovia Pharmaceuticals Inc.
Brief Summary

Recurrent vulvovaginal candidiasis (RVVC), also known as recurrent yeast infections, is defined as at least 3 episodes of acute VVC in the past 12 months. Several properties of oteseconazole (VT-1161) suggest that it might be a safer and more effective treatment for RVVC than other oral antifungal medicines.

This study will evaluate the effectiveness and safety of oteseconazole (VT-1161) for the treatment of RVVC and consists of 2 parts. The first part of the study is a 2-week period for the treatment of the patient's current VVC episode with 3 150mg doses of fluconazole. The 2nd part consists of 12 weeks, when the patient will take either oteseconazole (VT-1161) 150 mg or a placebo (according to a random assignment), and then a 36-week follow-up period.

In addition, at participating sites, an amendment to the study allows US patients who complete the initial 48 weeks without experiencing a confirmed RVVC episode to continue in a 48-week observational extension period designed to evaluate the continued effectiveness of oteseconazole (VT-1161).

This study is identical to VMT-VT-1161-CL-011.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Percentage of Subjects With 1 or More Culture-verified Acute VVC Episodes During the Maintenance Phase of the Study in the Intent-to-treat (ITT) Population.Maintenance phase (post-randomization through Week 48)

The primary efficacy outcome measure was the percentage of subjects with 1 or more culture-verified acute VVC episodes during the maintenance phase (post-randomization through Week 48) in the intent-to-treat population. An acute VVC episode during the maintenance phase (considered a recurrent episode) was defined as a positive fungal culture for Candida species and a clinical signs and symptoms score of ≥3. To calculate the signs and symptoms score, each vulvovaginal sign (erythema, edema, excoriation) and symptom (itching, burning, irritation) was scored using the following scale, with a higher score indicating a worse outcome.

0 = none (complete absence of any sign or symptom), 1 = mild (slight), 2 = moderate (definitely present), 3 = severe (marked, intense)
