The objective of the present PMCF study with a 6 month follow up period is to identify potential new and unknown risks associated with longer term use of Ainara® and (considering the duration of symptoms in GSM) to collect additional data regarding efficacy of a long-term treatment with this medical device.
This is an interventional prospective study. It fits/pertains into the category of Post Marketing Clinical Follow up studies. The study evaluates performance, safety, and quality of life in late menopausal transition and post-menopausal women treated with the medical device Ainara® vaginal gel for vaginal dryness for 6 months The Research Question of the present study is the following: in a population composed of menopausal transition and menopausal women treated with polycarbophilic vaginal gel (Ainara®) for vaginal dryness, will a 6-month post marketing follow up study be able to give a reliable overview on the long-term performance (in terms of VHI, subjective and objective symptoms, and female sexual function), safety (in terms of patient and Investigator evaluation, and potential unknown risks of ADE/SADE/USADE/AE/SAE) and quality of life of this medical device.

|---|---|---|---|
| Ainara | Experimental | Ainara is a class II medical device, already marketed in several EU countries. The product is a mucoadhesive moisturising gel for vulvovaginal use, indicated for the relief of symptoms of vaginal atrophy and dryness, and related discomfort. In each packaging there is a tube containing the gel (sterile and viscous with about 87% water) and a syringe-like plastic applicator with cannula and plunger. Each administration kit (subject kit) for patients of Ainara® will contain a box with 1 tube with 30 g gel, 1 cannula and 1 plunger. The gel quantity is enough for one subject over the course of the study (1 g at each administration). |

| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Vaginal Health Index (VHI) | To measure the Ainara®'s efficacy on vaginal dryness the same outcomes used in the two trials DMS/18/AINARA/01 and DMS/18/AINARA/02 were chosen: Vaginal Health Index (VHI) by Investigator. For outcome the change from baseline to Visit 2 (final visit) will be analyzed; Minimal value for VHI is 1 and maximal value for VHI is 5. A higher score on VHI means an improvement in vaginal health | 180 days |
| Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) for vaginal dryness evaluated by subjects | To measure the Ainara®'s efficacy on vaginal dryness the same outcomes used in the two trials DMS/18/AINARA/01 and DMS/18/AINARA/02 were chosen: the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) by the subject. For the VAS outcome the change from baseline to Visit 2 (final visit) will be analyzed; in addition, VAS mean value will be compared with the value at days 30, 60, 90, 120, and 150. | 180 days |
| SF 12 questionnaire completed by the patient | Quality of Life will be evaluated by SF12 questionnaire, a binary (Yes/No) and multiple choice-type survey, widely used to assess general health. Data will be analyzed comparing scores from baseline visit to Visit 2 (final visit). | 180 days |
| ADE/SADE/USADE (adverse device event, serious adverse device event unexpected serious device event) and AE/SAE | Safety will be evaluated by the collection of ADE/SADE/USADE (adverse device event, serious adverse device event unexpected serious device event) and AE/SAE, • ADE/SADE/USADE and AE/SAE; Patient Global evaluation of safety (PGAS); Investigator Global evaluation of safety (IGAS); | 180 days |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Rate of subjective symptoms | subjective symptoms: dryness, itching, burning, dyspareunia, and dysuria reported on patient diary and scored as reported in the AGATA study as follows: 0 = absence, 1 = slight, 2 = moderate, and 3 = severe intensity. The change in these variables will be evaluated from baseline to days 30, 60, 90, 120, 150, and 180 (final visit). | 30, 60, 90, 120, 150, 180 days |

| Objective signs in vaginal mucosa | Objective signs in vaginal mucosa: dryness, thinning rugae, pallor, fragility, and petechiae evaluated by Investigator as: 0 = absence, 1 = slight, 2 = moderate, and 3 = severe alteration. The change in these variables will be evaluated from baseline to Visit 2 (final visit). | 180 days |
| Vaginal pH | Vaginal pH: it will be measured by the Investigators with a test strip delivered by Sponsor. The baseline values can be from 5.0 (this was the minimum value need for vaginal atrophy diagnosis in AGATA study) to 9.0. The Investigator will insert the pH strip into the upper wall of the vagina and will consider the reading made while the strip is still damp. For this outcome the change of mean values will be analysed from baseline to Visit 2 (final visit). | 180 days |
| Global Symptom Score (GSS) | Global Symptom Score (GSS)(20) a composite score of symptoms, will be obtained to assess the effect of treatment on all individual symptoms taken as a whole. It will be calculated by the addition of the intensity scores of all individual symptoms (range, 1-15: 1 = only mild vaginal dryness, 15 = all five symptoms severe in intensity). This outcome will be analysed assessing the change from baseline visit to day 180 visit (final visit). | 180 days |
| Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI) | Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI) Romanian version, evaluated by Investigator and analysed considering the change from baseline to 90 and 180 days (final visit). The minimum score of this scale is 19 and the maximum value is 95. A higher score means an improvement in sexual function of the subject. | 90, 180 days |
