– Treated patients with positive Candida vaginal culture at baseline
– “Test-of-Cure” visit (TOC) at Day 10 – “Follow-Up” visit (FU) at Day 25
composite scale ranging from 0 (no S&S) to 18 points (maximum severity in all S&S)
– Clinical Cure at TOC: complete resolution of all signs and symptoms (S&S=0)
– Mycological Eradication at TOC visit: negative Candida culture – Clinical Improvement at TOC visit: complete or almost complete resolution of signs and symptoms (S&S of 0 or 1) – Complete resolution of symptoms at FU visit
* Signs and Symptoms [S&S] score defined as a composite endpoint of the subject’s reported symptoms (burning, itching and irritation) and the investigator’s assessed signs (swelling, redness and excoriations). Each sign and symptom can be absent, mild, moderate or severe, with a corresponding score from 0 to 3. The total composite scale goes from 0 to 18 points.
