What is being measured

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

  1. Clinical evaluation of skin erythema: change from baseline, 1 hour after products application (T1h vs. T0)

    Skin erythema was scored and recorded according to the following grades: 0=no erythema; 0.5=very slight erythema (barely perceptible);1=well-defined erythema;1.5=moderate to severe erythema; 2=severe erythema (beet redness) to slight eschar formation (injuries in depth)

    Measured: After 1 (T1h) hour from products application

Secondary outcomes (8)
  1. Clinical evaluation of skin erythema: change from baseline, 6 hours from products application (T6h vs. T0)

    Skin erythema was scored and recorded according to the following grades: 0=no erythema; 0.5=very slight erythema (barely perceptible);1=well-defined erythema;1.5=moderate to severe erythema; 2=severe erythema (beet redness) to slight eschar formation (injuries in depth)

    Measured: After 6 (T6h) hours from products application

  2. Clinical evaluation of skin erythema: change from baseline, after 24 hours from products application (T24h vs. T0)

    Skin erythema was scored and recorded according to the following grades: 0=no erythema; 0.5=very slight erythema (barely perceptible);1=well-defined erythema;1.5=moderate to severe erythema; 2=severe erythema (beet redness) to slight eschar formation (injuries in depth)

    Measured: After 24 (T24h) hours from products application

  3. Optical densitometry: change from baseline, after 1hour from products application (T1h vs. T0)

    The instrumental measurement of erythema was performed by the use of an optical densitometer allowing to quantify, on a logarithmic scale, total reflected optical density (visual=V) and the values of primary subtractive colours of reflected light: cyan(=C), magenta(=M) and yellow(=Y). Calculation of erythema index was done as follows: E.I.=logRmagenta-logRcyan

    Measured: After 1 (T1h) hour from products application

  4. Optical densitometry: change from baseline, 6 hours from products application (T6h vs. T0)

    The instrumental measurement of erythema was performed by the use of an optical densitometer allowing to quantify, on a logarithmic scale, total reflected optical density (visual=V) and the values of primary subtractive colours of reflected light: cyan(=C), magenta(=M) and yellow(=Y). Calculation of erythema index was done as follows: E.I.=logRmagenta-logRcyan

    Measured: After 6 (T6h) hours from products application

  5. Optical densitometry: change from baseline, 24 hours from products application (T24h vs.T0)

    The instrumental measurement of erythema was performed by the use of an optical densitometer allowing to quantify, on a logarithmic scale, total reflected optical density (visual=V) and the values of primary subtractive colours of reflected light: cyan(=C), magenta(=M) and yellow(=Y). Calculation of erythema index was done as follows: E.I.=logRmagenta-logRcyan

    Measured: After 24 (T24h) hours from products application

  6. Surface microrelief evaluation: change from baseline, after 1 hour from products application (T1h vs.T0)

    Morfometrical analysis of cutaneous surface allows the evaluation of the regularity of the microrelief (superficial cutaneous network). It was therefore possible to determinate the alteration of the microrelief caused by stripping.The evaluation of the regularity grade of cutaneous microrelief was possible using Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) on skin replicas obtained using silicone rubber. Skin replicas images were then acquired by a stereo microscope.

    Measured: After 1 (Th1) hour from products application

  7. Surface microrelief evaluation: change from baseline, 6 hours from products application (T6h vs. T0)

    Morfometrical analysis of cutaneous surface allows the evaluation of the regularity of the microrelief (superficial cutaneous network). It was therefore possible to determinate the alteration of the microrelief caused by stripping.The evaluation of the regularity grade of cutaneous microrelief was possible using Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) on skin replicas obtained using silicone rubber. Skin replicas images were then acquired by a stereo microscope.

    Measured: After 6 (T6h) hours from products application

  8. Surface microrelief evaluation: change from baseline, after 24 hours from products application (T24h) hours from products application vs.T0)

    Morfometrical analysis of cutaneous surface allows the evaluation of the regularity of the microrelief (superficial cutaneous network).

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing plantaricin a - rejuvenating cream, plantaricin a - antioxidant serum and plantaricin a - rejuvenating serum in people with Healthy, run by Derming SRL at 1 site in Italy.

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 21 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 16 Sep 2014. 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 Italy. 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 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

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

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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?

Clinical evaluation of skin erythema: change from baseline, 1 hour after products application (T1h vs. T0) (time frame: After 1 (T1h) hour from products application). 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 NCT02241161, which also lists 21 linked publications.

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 Sep 2014.
