In this open label study, 50 eligible women will be assigned to receive the investigational product (IZN-6NVS) - 2.5 g of cream/day for 14 days, followed by 3 applications per week for the next 4 weeks. Clinical assessment of the severity of vaginitis will be performed at baseline and after 2 and 6 weeks of treatment. The study will evaluate safety, tolerability and efficacy of IZN-6NVS vaginal cream, in the treatment of atrophic vaginitis (AV) and desquamative inflammatory vaginitis (DIV).
This will be a Phase IB study comprised of three study groups: * Group 1: Women who are naturally or surgically menopausal and symptomatic for AV, but who decline treatment with topical or systemic estrogen. * Group 2: Women rendered menopausal as a result of pharmacologic treatment (including, but not limited to, aromatase inhibitor treatment, selective estrogen receptor modifiers (SERMs), and GnRH analog treatment), who decline treatment with topical or systemic estrogen. * Group 3: Pre-menopausal women diagnosed with DIV. The study will evaluate safety, tolerability and efficacy of IZN-6NVS vaginal cream, in the treatment of atrophic vaginitis (AV) and desquamative inflammatory vaginitis (DIV). 20 eligible women of groups 1 and 2 and up to 10 eligible women of group 3 will be assigned to receive 2.5 g of cream/day for the first 14 days, followed by 3 applications per week for the next 4 weeks. Clinical assessment of the severity of vaginitis will be performed at baseline and after 2 and 6 weeks of treatment, which will be the end of the study. Patient reported symptom severity will be assessed by questionnaire at baseline and after 2 and 6 weeks of treatment, and at follow-up.
