About this study

The purpose of this study is to determine the effect of the placement of a PerioChip Plus (flurbiprofen/chlorhexidine - FBP/CHX) formulation versus PerioChip (chlorhexidine) formulation versus Flurbiprofen Chip formulation versus Placebo Chip formulation on probing pocket depth (PPD)

Read the detailed description

This is an 80 subjects, single-center, randomized, double-blinded, parallel, 4-arm clinical study (25 subjects in the PerioChip Plus and PerioChip arms and 15 subjects in the Flurbiprofen Chip and Placebo Chip arms).

At 24 weeks, relative to baseline, the mean reductions in probing pocket depth (PPD) will be used as primary efficacy endpoint. Additional primary endpoints are clinical attachment levels (CAL) and bleeding on probing (BOP) in the target pockets selected at screening, measured at weeks 24.

PPD measurements at 6, 12 and 18 weeks will be used as secondary endpoints. Additional secondary endpoints are clinical attachment levels (CAL) and bleeding on probing (BOP) in the target pockets selected at screening, measured at weeks 6, 12 and 18.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. At 24 weeks, relative to baseline, the mean reductions in probing pocket depth (PPD) will be used as primary efficacy endpoint. Additional primary endpoints are clinical attachment levels (CAL) and bleeding on probing (BOP) in the target pockets selected

    Measured: 24 weeks

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. PPD measurements at 6, 12 and 18 weeks will be used as secondary endpoints. Additional secondary endpoints are clinical attachment levels (CAL) and bleeding on probing (BOP) in the target pockets selected at screening, measured at weeks 6, 12 and 18.

    Measured: 24 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study of Periodontitis, run by Dexcel Pharma Technologies Ltd. at 1 site in Israel.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 8 inclusion and 14 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 14 Jun 2011. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Israel. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

At 24 weeks, relative to baseline, the mean reductions in probing pocket depth (PPD) will be used as primary efficacy endpoint. Additional primary endpoints are clinical attachment levels (CAL) and bleeding on probing (BOP) in the target pockets selected (time frame: 24 weeks). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 14 Jun 2011.
