Trial summary

Patients visiting National Hospital of Odonto-Stomatology for treating periodontitis used a food supplement (lozenge) containing chicken egg antibody (IgY) against Porphyromonas gingivalis gingipains as an adjunct to conventional scaling and root planing (SRP). After 8 weeks the patients were examined against. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Evaluation of IgY Antibody Effectiveness in Supportive Therapy of Periodontitis Patients

Patients visiting National Hospital of Odonto-Stomatology for treating periodontitis used a food supplement (lozenge) containing chicken egg antibody (IgY) against Porphyromonas gingivalis gingipains as an adjunct to conventional scaling and root planing (SRP). After 8 weeks the patients were examined against. Parameters including probing depth (PD), bleeding on probing (BOP), number of P. gingivalis in periodontal pockets were evaluated and compared to the control group that had used placebo lozenges.

What is being measured

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

  1. Effect of anti-gingipain IgY on probing pocket depth of subjects with chronic periodontitis

    Outcome measurement is probing pocket depth (PD)

    Measured: 8 weeks

  2. Effect of anti-gingipain IgY on bleeding on probing of subjects with chronic periodontitis

    Outcome measurement is bleeding on probing (BOP)

    Measured: 8 weeks

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Effect of anti-gingipain IgY on Porphyromonas gingivalis level of subjects with chronic periodontitis

    Outcome measurement is P. gingivalis level in periodontal pockets

    Measured: 8 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing lozenges containing IgY in people with Chronic Periodontitis, run by Immunology Research Institute in Gifu.

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 2 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 11 Mar 2016. 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. 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 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?

Effect of anti-gingipain IgY on probing pocket depth of subjects with chronic periodontitis (time frame: 8 weeks). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 11 Mar 2016.
