Summary

This is a pilot study, assessing the ability and safety of the use of VR101 intravaginal ring to relieve the symptoms of vaginal dryness, in peri and post-menopausal women. VR1010 is designed to release glycerol. The study will assess the duration of lubrication/ moisturization of the vagina with the VR101 intravaginal ring in place (up to 7 days) and participant satisfaction of the device.

Study participants will insert the intravaginal ring and leave it in place for an initial 7 days and then repeat this process a 2nd time. Participants will respond to questionnaires, complete a daily diary and come in for 4 separate study visits. Each study visit will involve a brief vaginal exam.

Upon removal of the initially inserted device (7 days after first study visit), participants will insert a second device for an additional 7 days and undergo the same evaluation.

Interventions

DEVICE

Vaginal Lubrication Ring for Vaginal Dryness

Participants will be asked to complete 4 study visits and one final follow-up phone call. Each study visit will include a brief vaginal exam where vaginal fluid levels and pH levels are checked and questionnaires are completed. Daily diaries will be completed at home and returned to the study staff at subsequent visits. Participants will self-insert the Intravaginal ring on the 1st study visit. The 2nd study visit will occur 3-4 days later. The 3rd study visit will occur approximately 7 days after the 1st visit. Participants will remove the device and self-insert a new intravaginal ring. The 4th study visit will occur approximately 14 days after the first visit. Participants will remove the intravaginal ring and undergo a final vaginal exam. Participants will be called approximately 7 days after the last visit and will be asked about their current vaginal dryness symptoms and how they felt about the device during the study.
