Summary

This study investigates the response of vaginal and cervical tissue after exposure to three vaginal products: hydroxyethyl cellulose (HEC) placebo, nonoxynol-9 (N9) and imiquimod (IMQ) cream.

Conditions

  • Vaginal Inflammation
  • Vaginal Infections

Interventions

DRUG

Imiquimod

Participants first have sampling in the follicular and luteal phases of the menstrual cycle. Then participants receive 4 doses of HEC placebo gel in the luteal phase. Finally, participants are randomized to the order of IMiquimod, 2 doses vaginally, in the luteal phase and nonoxynol-9, 4%, 4 doses vaginally in the luteal phase.

OTHER

Placebo

Participants first have sampling in the follicular and luteal phases of the menstrual cycle. Then participants receive 4 doses of HEC placebo gel in the luteal phase. Finally, participants are randomized to the order of IMiquimod, 2 doses vaginally, in the luteal phase and nonoxynol-9, 4%, 4 doses vaginally in the luteal phase.
