What participants receive

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

    Also called Double-blind intervetion; Active/placebo comparator unknown.

    Prontosan(TM) Wound Irrigation Solution (PHMB 0.1%, Betaine 0.1%) and Prontosan(TM) Wound Gel (PHMB 0.1%, Betaine 0.1%). Dressings will be changed and the treatment procedure will be repeated daily with 30ml/40 ml wound solution and 30 ml wound gel for a period of 12 weeks.

  • SalineDevice

    Also called Double-blind intervetion; Active/placebo comparator unknown.

    Saline Wound Irrigation Solution and inert Wound Gel. Dressings will be changed and the treatment procedure will be repeated daily with 30ml/40 ml wound solution and 30 ml wound gel for a period of 12 weeks.

What is being measured

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

  1. Relative (%) area wound size change versus baseline in respondents to treatment following a 12-week treatment period

    Measured: Baseline and 12 weeks

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. Change in absolute wound area dimensions

    Measured: 12-week treatment period

  2. Identification of bacteria present on wound bed at baseline and follow-up

    Measured: 12-week treatment period

  3. Relative change in bacterial load during treatment period

    Measured: 12-week treatment period

  4. Change in wound margins determined by color photography

    Measured: 12-week treatment period

  5. Number of "non-responders" as measured by wound size change (<50% relative wound size reduction

    Measured: 12-week treatment period

  6. Change of clinical wound infection during treatment period

    Measured: 12-week treatment period

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Prontosan and Saline in people with Diabetic Complications, run by B. Braun Medical Inc. at 2 sites 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 4 inclusion and 17 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The record says: withdrawn, as of the sponsor's last update on 16 Jul 2013. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites 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. 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.

Are results available for this study?

The study was withdrawn before enrolling participants, so there are no results.

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?

Relative (%) area wound size change versus baseline in respondents to treatment following a 12-week treatment period (time frame: Baseline and 12 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 16 Jul 2013.
