Description

Monolaurin is a monoglyceride composed of lauric acid attached to a glycerol molecule. It is a naturally occurring compound found in coconut oil and breast milk. Monolaurin exhibits antimicrobial activity against a range of pathogens, including bacteria, viruses, and fungi. It has been studied for its potential therapeutic applications in various areas, including wound healing, skin infections, and gastrointestinal disorders. Monolaurin is synthesized through various methods, including chemical esterification of glycerol with lauric acid or enzymatic hydrolysis of coconut oil. Further research is ongoing to explore its mechanism of action, efficacy, and safety in different applications.'

Number of Participants Experiencing Laboratory AEs Following the First Dose of the Study Product

The number of participants experiencing laboratory AEs following the first dose of the study product was assessed at Visit 2 (Day 8-15). A laboratory abnormality was considered an adverse event if there was a worsening of the laboratory value at Visit 2 from the baseline value and it increased in laboratory toxicity grading from the baseline toxicity grading. Protocol-defined hematology parameters assessed were white blood cells, hemoglobin, platelets, and neutrophils. Protocol-defined clinical chemistry parameters assessed were creatinine, AST, ALT, total bilirubin, and glucose (random). (NCT02709005)

Number of Participants Reporting Solicited Urogenital Adverse Events (AEs) Following the First Dose of the Study Product

Solicited event assessments were captured on a memory aid starting on Day 1, the first day of therapy and continuing for 5 days. The participant recorded the presence and intensity of vulvovaginal solicited events on the memory aid. Any symptom that was present at the time that the participant was screened was considered as baseline and not reported as a solicited urogenital AE. However, if the symptom deteriorated during the reporting period, it was considered an AE. If a symptom was reported that was not present at baseline, it too was considered an AE. Any symptoms still present on Day 5 were followed by participant memory aid notations until symptom resolution. Solicited events collected include vaginal odor, vaginal pain, vaginal tenderness, vaginal itching, vaginal dryness, vaginal discharge, and vaginal inflammation. Severity of solicited events symptoms were graded as mild, moderate, or severe according to the grading table in the protocol. (NCT02709005)
