About this study

Official title: Clinical Study of the Antibacterial Properties of the Nano Particles Which Incorporated With the Soft Liner Silicone - in Obturators

The aim of this study is to evaluate the antibacterial activity of crosslinked quaternary ammonium polyethylenimine (PEI) nanoparticles incorporated at 1-2% w/w in a commercial soft liner material when compared to the commercial soft liner material.

The investigators' results in vitro showed a significant delay in bacterial growth.

Therefore, the investigators assume to have the same delay in vivo- on patients.

Being tested
polyethylenimine (PEI) nanoparticles.
Keywords
head and neck carcinoma, obturators, maxillectomy, soft liner, nano particles, antibacterial properties, patients post maxillectomy

What participants receive

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing polyethylenimine (PEI) nanoparticles. in people with Carcinoma of Head and Neck, run by Hadassah Medical Organization.

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 1 inclusion and 1 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 4 Nov 2009. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

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

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

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

Contact anat b sharon, Msc, DMD (972-54-5255659, anatsharon@hadassah.org.il), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

bacterial growth (time frame: a week). 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 4 Nov 2009.
