A Multi-center, Double-blind, Randomized Study, Comparing Clindamycin Phosphate Vaginal Cream 2% (Watson Laboratories, Inc.) to Clindesse® (Ther-Rx™, Clindamyin Phosphate Vaginal Cream 2%) and Both Active Treatments to a Placebo Control in the Treatment of Bacterial Vaginosis in Non-pregnant Women
A multi-center, double-blind, randomized, placebo controlled, parallel-group study, comparing Clindamycin phosphate vaginal cream 2% (Watson Laboratories, Inc.) to Clindesse® (Ther-Rx™, Clindamyin Phosphate Vaginal Cream 2%) and both active treatments to a placebo control in the treatment of bacterial vaginosis in non-pregnant women.

Primary outcomes
- Number of Participants With Both a Clinical and a Bacteriological Cure (Nugent Score <4), Evaluated at Visit 2 Test-of-cure (Study Day 22-30). — 22 to 30 days
Clinical Cure is defined as resolution of clinical signs and symptoms from entry visit as follows: 1. The original discharge characteristic of bacterial vaginosis has returned to a normal physiological vaginal discharge which varies in appearance and consistency depending on the menstrual cycle, 2. The whiff test is negative for any amine ("fishy") odor, 3. The saline wet mount is negative for clue cells, 4. Vaginal fluid pH is \< 4.7, using pH paper that measures from 3.6 to 6.1. A Bacteriological cure is defined as a Nugent score \< 4. The system used a 0-4 scale (Nugent Scoring System 0-10 for Gram-Stained Vaginal Smears) for evaluation of vaginal flora, based on the weighted sum of the following 3 bacterial morphotypes scores calculated from slide examination under oil immersion field: 1. Lactobacillus: large gram positive rods, 2. Gardnerella / Bacteroides spp: Small gram variable coccobacilli/small Gram negative rods, 3. Mobiluncus spp.: thin, curved Gram variable rods
