What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Percent Responder Rates of Bacterial Reduction on the Abdomen and Groin Sites
Percent of abdomen and groin sites that achieve a 2-Log or 3-Log reduction respectively of bacterial flora from baseline.
Note: The number of participants in each treatment group (abdomen and/or groin) can vary depending on whether participants achieved qualifying microbial levels on the abdomen and groin at baseline.
Measured: 10 minutes to 8 hours

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 3 study testing Chlorhexidine Gluconate and DynaHex-2 in people with Surgery, run by Medline Industries 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 5 inclusion and 3 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 30 Apr 2021. 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. 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 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?
Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 30 Apr 2021). 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?
Percent Responder Rates of Bacterial Reduction on the Abdomen and Groin Sites (time frame: 10 minutes to 8 hours). 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 30 Apr 2021; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 6 Nov 2026.
