Vaginitis Diagnostic Algorithm Pilot Using Nanopath and Other Tests
Official title: A Non-Significant Risk Specimen Collection Study to Obtain Vaginal Swab Samples for Algorithm Development and Testing
Run by Nanopath, Inc · NCT07607470 · Data updated 2026-11-12
This study tests a new Nanopath vaginal test to see if it correctly detects vaginitis-causing pathogens in up to 1,000 people with vaginitis symptoms.

Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Biologically female participants aged 18 or older with signs or symptoms of vaginitis such as abnormal discharge, itching, odor, or discomfort.
✕Probably not a fit
Participants without vaginitis or with infections not detectable by the tested panel may not benefit from diagnostic improvements.

What this trial studies
This observational study collects clinician- and self-collected vaginal swabs from up to 1,000 individuals with vaginitis symptoms to develop and validate a bacterial vaginosis diagnostic algorithm. It compares the Nanopath assay, an amplification-free molecular test, against FDA-cleared commercial tests and yeast culture to gauge performance. The study is diagnostic in nature and does not involve an interventional treatment. It aims to determine how well Nanopath identifies pathogens associated with vaginitis across diverse clinical settings. Participating sites include Segal Trials in North Miami and LSU-CrescentCare in New Orleans.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, the Nanopath assay could provide a rapid, amplification-free option to help diagnose vaginitis-related infections.
How similar studies have gone: Previous studies of matching Nanopath results to established tests have shown promise in diagnostic accuracy for related conditions, though the approach here is observational and validation-focused.
