Recurrent Vulvovaginal Candidiasis (RVVC) Market Outlook

Thelansis’s “Recurrent Vulvovaginal Candidiasis (RVVC) Market Outlook, Epidemiology, Competitive Landscape, and Market Forecast Report – 2023 To 2033" covers disease overview, epidemiology, drug utilization, prescription share analysis, competitive landscape, clinical practice, regulatory landscape, patient share, market uptake, market forecast, and key market insights under the potential Recurrent Vulvovaginal Candidiasis treatment modalities options for eight major markets (USA, Germany, France, Italy, Spain, UK, Japan, and China).

Recurrent Vulvovaginal Candidiasis (RVVC) Overview

Recurrent vulvovaginal candidiasis (RVVC) is characterized by experiencing four or more confirmed episodes of vulvovaginal candidiasis within a year, and it presents a significant challenge in effectively managing this infection. It typically results from a relapse caused by the same persistent strains of C. albicans rather than a new infection caused by different strains. This condition is more likely to develop in environments with elevated estrogen levels and often affects pregnant women. Recurrent thrush is relatively uncommon, affecting approximately 5-8% of women of reproductive age. Yet, it can profoundly impact women's quality of life, leading to symptoms like vulvar itching, soreness, painful urination, painful intercourse, and the characteristic "cottage cheese-like" vaginal discharge. Primary RVVC is considered idiopathic, as its underlying predisposing factors are unknown. It occurs in otherwise healthy, immunocompetent women, most of whom do not have identifiable triggers or causative factors. On the other hand, when frequent episodes of acute VVC are linked to predisposing factors such as hormone replacement therapy or diabetes mellitus, it is referred to as secondary RVVC. In June 2021, the FDA (Food and Drug Administration) approved a novel oral glucan synthase inhibitor called ibrexafungerp for treating recurrent vulvovaginal candidiasis.

  • VVC is the most common candidal infection in humans, affecting around 75% of women at least once during their lifetime. Furthermore, recurrent VVC impacts nearly 8% of women worldwide.
