Lacticaseibacillus Rhamnosus CA15 (DSM 33960) Strain as a New Driver in Restoring the Normal Vaginal Microbiota

The aim of the present randomized double-blind placebo-controlled study is to evaluate the ability of the potential probiotic Lacticaseibacillus rhamnosus CA15 (DSM 33960) strain, orally administrated, to balance the vaginal microbiota of women with vaginal dysbiosis. Two hundred women, with signs and symptoms of vaginal dysbiosis, are recruited and randomly allocated to receive oral capsules containing the L. rhamnosus CA15 (DSM 33960) strain or placebo once daily for 10 days. Clinical and microbiological parameters are evaluated in three scheduled appointments: at baseline (T0), 10 days after the start of the treatment (T1), and 30 days after the end of the treatment (T2). In addition, at baseline (T0) and 30 days after the end of the treatment (T2), the quality of life will be evaluated through a quality of life assessment questionnaire.
