Projectdetails

Introduction

Vaginal Atrophy (VA) is a chronic and progressive condition. VA impacts the quality of life, relationships, everyday activities, and confidence of women sufferers. It is associated with thinning, drying, and inflammation of the vaginal tissue.

Prevalence

It is experienced by 80% of all women globally and is the most common symptom of menopause. Over 70% of Breast Cancer Survivors will also suffer from VA due to side effects of chemotherapy, and the cancer-blocker drugs they take further exacerbate symptoms of VA.

Current Treatment Options

Current treatment options for VA, primarily pharmaceuticals, are either ineffective or poorly tolerated. In the EU and US, 3.6 million patients with VA reject existing treatments.

AVeta Solution

AVeta is a medical device delivering the only hormone-free, affordable, and safe targeted therapy for all women suffering from VA. The solution is based on the pathophysiology of wound healing and will be prescribed by a clinician in an outpatient setting. Women will self-administer the therapy monthly at home.
