SNaP applicationExperimentalThis is an "open label" pilot study of SNaP Advanced Wound Care System
Receives: Device: SNaP Advanced Wound Care System; Other: SNaP

What is being measured

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

  1. Ease of Use for Patients

    Participants were given instructions to use the SNaP device home. Participants completed a questionnaire reporting whether the device was easy to use, worthwhile to use, and whether they would use the device again. Numbers responding positively to each question are presented.

    Measured: Baseline up to 31 days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing SNaP Advanced Wound Care System and SNaP in people with Ulcer and Wounds and Injuries, run by Stanford University at 1 site in United States.

The record lists 1 site in United States. 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. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 20 Jan 2017). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Ease of Use for Patients (time frame: Baseline up to 31 days). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00660049, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 13 Dec 2017.
