Comparative Performance of a Vaginal Yeast Test (NCT05079711)
Comparative Performance of the SavvyCheck Vaginal Yeast Test Versus Culture
🩺 Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)
The purpose of this study is to establish lay user performance criteria for the SavvyCheck Vaginal Yeast Test in comparison to standard vaginal yeast culture and identification method for Candida (the Reference Method). Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and sequencing of fungi will be used as an aid to explain the nature of the discrepancy in the case of discordant results between the lay user-performed SavvyCheck Vaginal Yeast Test and standard vaginal yeast culture and identification method for Candida.
