Safety and Efficacy of a Novel Vaginal Anti-infective, TOL-463, in the Treatment of Bacterial Vaginosis and Vulvovaginal Candidiasis: A Randomized, Single-blind, Phase 2, Controlled Trial

Background Bacterial vaginosis (BV) and vulvovaginal candidiasis (VVC) present serious reproductive health risks and management challenges, with poor control attributed to survival of treatment-resistant biofilm communities. Boric acid is used in various regimens for non-albicans VVC and recurrent BV. We investigated safety and efficacy of a novel boric acid–based vaginal anti-infective with enhanced antibiofilm activity (TOL-463) in treating BV and VVC.
