The hypothesis is raised of improving the status of vagnal microbiota with a non-hormonal topical product in early situations of dysbiosis in which the vaginal pH is elevated and the patient may or may not be symptomatic, in order to try to prevent the appearance of future established vaginal infections.
Multicenter, open, comparative study, where all eligible patients with vaginal dysbiosis (vaginal pH >4.5) will be assigned to one of the 3 study groups (1:1:1) according to the randomization list for random assignment to groups B and C:
A. Symptomatic patients: Treatment with Palomacare® vaginal gel for 6 days B. Asymptomatic patients: Treatment with Palomacare® vaginal gel for 6 days C. Asymptomatic patients: Monitored follow-up
2 visits will be made throughout the study: visit 1 (initial visit, between days 9 and 15 of the menstrual cycle) and visit 2 (final visit, within 5 days after the end of treatment or equivalent in the case of the monitored follow-up group, always before the next menstruation).
The study will consist of two phases; the first phase or PILOT, where 30 patients (10 per group) will be included with the intervention of 2 centers, and a second phase or EXTENSION, where 60 additional patients (20 per group) will be included, obtaining a total of 90 patients (30 per group) at the end of the study.

| Palomacare® vaginal gel is a medical device with CE class IIa. | Device | The duration of the study for each patient will be approximately 11-12 days and the treatment for groups A and B will be 6 days. In a first pilot study in asymptomatic women, a tendency towards a positive effect on the composition of vaginal fluid was already observed, as assessed by diagnostic tests and classified using a Likert scale. A subsequent study showed that treatment with a different vaginal gel but with an identical concentration of ingredients from Palomacare® vaginal gel, for 21 consecutive days, is able to improve the composition of vaginal fluid. Based on these preliminary data, it is possible to hypothesize that the action of Palomacare® vaginal gel will have a positive effect on the composition of vaginal fluid in patients affected by dysbiosis, whether asymptomatic or not. |
