NCT03956563

Brief Summary

The primary objective of the study is to clinically confirm, by comparison with a control group, the performance of the 10600 +1540 nm laser in the improvement of atrophic vaginal epithelium at 3 months after the last laser treatment. The secondary objectives are:

  • For the GSM symptoms
  • For the urinary symptoms and UI
  • To assess the patient's satisfaction with the laser treatment.
  • For the GSM symptoms
  • For the urinary symptoms and UI.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Atrophic vaginal epithelium change

    The primary efficacy outcome measure in this study is to obtain on the atrophic vaginal epithelium at 3 months after the last laser treatment, values going from absent/low estrogenization (0-49%) to moderate or high estrogenization (50-64%) measured with VMV. The results will be compared between the treatment and the control arm.

    3 months and 9 months post laser treatments

Secondary Outcomes (8)

  • Treatment area success for GSM #1

    3 months and 9 months post laser treatments

  • Treatment area success for GSM #2

    3 months and 9 months post laser treatments

  • Treatment area success for Urinary incontinence #1

    3 months and 9 months post laser treatments

  • Treatment area success for Urinary incontinence #2

    3 months and 9 months post laser treatments

  • Treatment area success for Urinary incontinence #3

    3 months and 9 months post laser treatments

  • +3 more secondary outcomes

Study Arms (2)

Active treatment arm

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Youlaser MT: sequential 10600+1540 nm with vaginal (2 passes) and intritus (1 pass) treatment

Device: Youlaser MT Group 1

Control arm

SHAM COMPARATOR

Youlaser MT: no laser emission with vaginal (2 passes) and intritus (1 pass) treatment

Device: Youlaser MT Group 2

Interventions

Youlaser MT is a laser device including two laser sources emitting at 10600 nm (CO2) and 1540 nm (Ga-As) intended to be used for gynaecological applications. Each patient in the control arm will receive 3 simulated laser treatments every 30 days. A placebo consists in a sham device laser that simulates the acoustic signal even if it does not deliver any laser radiation to the subject.

Control arm

Youlaser MT is a laser device including two laser sources emitting at 10600 nm (CO2) and 1540 nm (Ga-As) intended to be used for gynaecological applications. Each patient in the active arm will receive 3 laser treatments with the laser: one treatment administration every 30 days.
