This is a phase 1, Single-Center, Double-Blind, Randomized, Placebo-Controlled, dose escalation, clinical trial enrolling 24 healthy participants. The main subject is to investigate the safety and tolerability of the LABTHERA-001 capsule and to explore the acceptability of the capsule.
Bacterial vaginosis (BV) is the most common vaginal syndrome frequently found in women. BV is currently mainly treated with antibiotics. However, antibiotic administration can cause various side effects. And one of them is destroying the normal bacteria in the vagina, affecting the balance of the vaginal flora, increasing the likelihood of bacterial vaginosis recurrence, and causing drug resistance of bacteria. Therefore, the importance of fundamental treatment with the recovery of balance in normal vaginal flora is being recognized increasingly. The study drug for this trial, LABTHERA-001, has been derived from the bacteria Lactobacillus plantarum ATG-K2. Administration of the ATG-K2 strain will temporarily colonize the vagina to encourage a more normal microbiome. The main goals of this study are 1. to determine whether LABTHERA-001 is safe and well tolerated in healthy adult women. And 2. to investigate the acceptability of the LABTHERA-001 capsule or matching placebo by completing a satisfaction evaluation questionnaire.

RECRUITINGNumber of AEs in participants throughout the study and their severity and relationship to the study product.
Any incidence of adverse events will be evaluated for their severity and relationship to the study product. The number of AEs and other combined measurement results will be evaluated for the safety of the study product.
Time frame: 35 days since the first dose administration
Changes in Clinical Laboratory Tests, Vital signs (body temperature, respiratory rate, heart rate, blood pressure), Gynaecological Examination, and Physical Examination.
Day 1 pre-dose results will be used as the baseline values. Abnormalities in clinical laboratory parameters, gynaecological examination findings, and vital signs will be based on predefined normal ranges and will be tabulated by dose group showing participant counts and percentages.
Time frame: Baseline and each follow-up visit upto 35 days since the first dose administration (Day 1)
Acceptability evaluation
5-point Likert scale, 1 (strongly disagree), 2 (disagree), 3 (neither disagree or agree), 4 (agree), and 5 (strongly agree), in response to 7 statements at visit 3 (Day 9) to evaluate how acceptable participants found using the study product.
Time frame: Visit 3 (Day 9)
