FDA approves Vivjoa for the treatment of recurrent vulvovaginal candidiasis

Vivjoa is the first and only FDA-approved medication for this condition and provides sustained efficacy demonstrated by significant long-term reduction of RVVC recurrence through 50 weeks versus comparators.

Vivjoa is the first FDA-approved product for Mycovia Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (Mycovia), an emerging biopharmaceutical company dedicated to recognizing and empowering those living with unmet medical needs by developing novel therapies. RVVC, also known as chronic yeast infection, is defined by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) as three or more symptomatic acute episodes of yeast infection in 12 months. RVVC is a distinct condition from vulvovaginal candidiasis (VVC), and until now, there have been no FDA-approved medications specifically indicated for it. Nearly 75% of all adult women will have at least one yeast infection in their lifetime, with approximately half experiencing a recurrence. Of those women, up to 9% develop RVVC.
