The National Institute on Aging (NIA), through the Aging Research Federal Grant Program (CFDA 93.866), awarded Moremme VA LLC a $399,779 Project Grant (R43AG084468) to develop a hormone-free prebiotic muco-adhesive gel for the treatment of vaginal atrophy (VA) in post-menopausal women. The project aims to optimize the loading and release of natural bioactives in the gel formulation, assess its safety and tolerability in human vaginal tissue models, and evaluate its efficacy in reversing signs of VA in animal studies. This work is intended to provide preliminary data and proof of concept to support future product development and commercialization activities for a hormone-free vaginal suppository to treat VA, offering a safe and effective alternative for the growing population of post-menopausal women affected by this condition.
