chlamydia

Biopharmaceutical company Evofem Biosciences Inc (NASDAQ:EVFM) reported on Friday that it has dosed the last patient under its Phase 2b AMPREVENCE clinical trial evaluating its lead product candidate Amphora for the prevention of chlamydia and gonorrhea in women.

The research, published in the prestigious UK journal The Lancet Global Health, reports that chlamydia infection appears to be responsible for a substantial proportion of infertility cases among women in this part of the world.

In the study published Thursday in The Lancet Infectious Diseases, researchers compared two different formulations of the vaccine alongside a placebo jab in 35 women who were not infected with chlamydia. Every single woman who got the vaccine showed an immune response but none of the women who got the placebo exhibited such a response.

Those who were given injections of two possible vaccines developed antibodies to the chlamydia bacteria, but a lot more testing is needed before the vaccine would be ready for the public, the researchers added.

To the Editor: Chlamydia organisms belong to intracellular bacterial pathogens which are responsible for a range of human diseases, including trachoma, sexually transmitted disease, pneumonia, and other diseases.[1],[2],[3],[4],[5] Some Chlamydia -infected diseases were old and had long time impacted on the people's health in China and worldwide, but people cannot put enough emphasis on itin local areas.[6] For example, although China had reached the goal of eliminating blinding trachoma in 2015, some sporadic cases also exist in rural counties.

The current risk-based chlamydia screening strategy has provided evidence for a growing infection crisis, and yet at the same time contributes to the alarming infection problem by not adequately screening infected women.
