About this study

Official title: The Observational Effects of the Topical Application of ViaNOx-H (Gaseous Nitric Oxide) on the Bio-Burden in Chronic Non-Healing Colonized Ulcers of the Lower Extremities

To determine the effects of topically applied ViaNOx-H for 8 hours daily for 2 weeks on the reduction of the bio-burden in biofilms on chronic non-healing wounds as recorded by measurements of wound size and wound culture.

Read the detailed description

The primary goal of this study is to determine the effects of topically applied gaseous nitric oxide on the bio-burden of chronic non-healing wounds of the lower extremities. Reports will include:

  • Comparisons of the demographics and diagnoses of those patients treated with ViaNOx-H.
  • Tabulation as to the organisms found and the bio-burden as measured by counts (0 to +4).
  • Tabulation of the number and types of adverse events during ViaNOx-H treatment.
  • Comparisons of the response of different organisms to ViaNOx-H treatment.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Nitric OxideDrug

    Also called ViaNOx-H, gaseous nitric oxide, gNO

    Topically applied gaseous nitric oxide at 8 to 10 parts per million, for 8 hours each night for 14 nights.

What is being measured

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

  1. The Primary Endpoint is the Eradication of the Bio-burden as Measured by a Reduction in Culture Growth to ≤ +2.

    Measured: at 28 days post enrollment

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. The Secondary Endpoint Measure is a Reduction on Wound Size.

    reduction in bioburden as assessed by number of cfu's per cm2 on culture

    Measured: 28 days post enrollment

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Nitric Oxide in people with Chronic Ulcer of Lower Extremity, run by Loma Linda University at 1 site in United States.

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 2 inclusion and 6 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 26 Feb 2016. 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 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.

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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 5 May 2014). 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?

The Primary Endpoint is the Eradication of the Bio-burden as Measured by a Reduction in Culture Growth to ≤ +2. (time frame: at 28 days post enrollment). 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 26 Feb 2016.
