BPR-101 Capsules and Metronidazole for Bacterial Vaginosis Recurrence Prevention
This phase 2 study aims to evaluate if BPR-101 capsules along with metronidazole can effectively prevent the recurrence of bacterial vaginosis, as determined by the Nugent score and Amsel's test.

Summary
Study start date: April 15, 2026
Actual date on which the first participant was enrolled.This clinical trial focuses on finding a better treatment for Bacterial Vaginosis (BV), a common condition that affects many women. The study is testing a combination of BPR-101 capsules and metronidazole to see if they can prevent BV from coming back. This research is important because it aims to improve the current treatment options and provide a more effective solution for women dealing with recurring BV. In this trial, participants are given either the combination of BPR-101 capsules and metronidazole or a placebo, which looks like the real medication but does not contain any active ingredients. The main goal is to see if the treatment can reduce the recurrence rate of BV. To measure the results, the study uses the Nugent score and Amsel's test. If any of these tests come back positive, it indicates that BV has returned.

Nugent score ≥ 7 points; 4. Vaginal administration is acceptable, and the patient agrees to avoid using any other vaginal products (such as contraceptive creams, gels, foams, sponges, lubricants, douches, tampons, etc.) except as specified in the trial throughout the entire trial period; 5.

Presence of vulvovaginitis caused by other pathogens, which researchers considered to affect trial evaluation, such as aerobic vaginitis (AV), vulvovaginal candidiasis (VVC), and trichomoniasis; 3. Currently, other vaginal or vulvar diseases are considered by researchers to affect the evaluation of the trial, such as human papillomavirus infection; or gynecological examinations showing condyloma acuminata or genital herpes; 4. Unexplained abnormal vaginal bleeding within 6 months prior to screening or during the screening visit; 5. Those who currently have uterine fibroids, endometrial hyperplasia, endometriosis, or adenomyosis, and for whom researchers believe that intervention is necessary during the trial; 6.
