What is being measured

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

  1. Reduction (log10) in Colony Forming Units

    Comparison of the log10 reduction in CFU after 60 minutes of treatment application.

    Measured: 60 minutes

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Local Tolerability: Pruritis Burning

    Local tolerability after 60 minutes of treatment application.

    Measured: 60 minutes

  2. Reduction in CFU

    Comparison of the percentage reduction in CFU after 15, 30 and 60 minutes of treatment application

    Measured: 15 minutes, 30 minutes and 60 minutes

  3. Comparison of the Percentage of Patients With Target Wounds <50 CFU

    Comparison of the percentage of patients with target wounds <50 CFU after 60 minutes of treatment application

    Measured: 60 minutes

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Lavasept 0.04% and Ringer's Solution in people with Wounds, run by B. Braun Ltd. Centre of Excellence Infection Control at 1 site in Switzerland.

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 3 inclusion and 13 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 6 Apr 2012. 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 Switzerland. 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 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

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 29 Nov 2011). 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?

Reduction (log10) in Colony Forming Units (time frame: 60 minutes). 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 6 Apr 2012.
