Trial summary

The objective of this study is to evaluate the microbiome composition of infant's (9-12 month) skin experiencing diaper rash in order to determine if the onset and severity of erythema associated with diaper rash is influenced by the type of bacteria colonizing the skin. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: An Exploratory Study to Evaluate the Microbial Consortia of Infants (9-12 Months) Experiencing Diaper Rash and When Healthy

The objective of this study is to evaluate the microbiome composition of infant's (9-12 month) skin experiencing diaper rash in order to determine if the onset and severity of erythema associated with diaper rash is influenced by the type of bacteria colonizing the skin.

What is being measured

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

  1. Operational Taxonomic Units (OTUs) of microbes present on skin

    Measured: Change from Baseline at Day 14

  2. Relative abundance of microbes present on skin measured in picograms of DNA

    Measured: Change from Baseline at Day 14

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Diaper Rash, run by Kimberly-Clark Corporation 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 1 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 18 Aug 2017. 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. 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?

Operational Taxonomic Units (OTUs) of microbes present on skin (time frame: Change from Baseline at Day 14). 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?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT02893501, which also lists 4 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 18 Aug 2017.
