About this study

Official title: A Clinical Evaluation of a Manuka-Honey Impregnated Dressing at Removing Necrotic Tissue From Chronic Foot and Ankle Wounds

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of a honey-impregnated wound dressing at removing necrotic tissue in subjects with chronic foot or ankle wounds.

Being tested
Honey Impregnated Dressing

What participants receive

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

  • Honey Impregnated DressingDevice

    The investigational product being examined contains 100% Manuka honey and is ideal for difficult to dress wounds. The dressing provides a moist wound environment to help promote autolytic debridement. The dressing is ideal for partial or full thickness wounds with moderate-to-heavy drainage.

What is being measured

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

  1. Change in Necrotic Tissue

    The percent change in necrotic tissue will serve as the primary endpoint.

    Measured: From initial date of application to weekly visits assessed up to 4 weeks.

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Wound Closure

    Percent of patients with 100% wound closure in each group

    Measured: From initial date of application to weekly visits assessed up to 4 weeks.

  2. Infections

    Number of infections in the wound sites will be recorded.

    Measured: From initial date of application to weekly visits assessed up to 4 weeks.

  3. Odor

    The odor score will be recorded using a scale of 1-4 with a score of 1 being pleasant odor to 4 being an unpleasant odor.

    Measured: The odor score will be recorded at weekly visits over four weeks for each subject.

  4. Pain Score

    The pain score will be recorded with a visual analog scale from 0-10. 0 is interpreted as no pain and 10 is the worst imaginable pain.

    Measured: The pain score will be recorded at weekly visits over four weeks for each subject.

  5. Bates-Jensen Wound Assessment Tool Score

    The Bates-Jensen Wound Assessment tool score will be used to assess the wound's status. The Bates-Jensen Wound Assessment tool measures wound status. The wound size score ranges from 0 to 5. The wound depth score ranges from 0 to 5. The wound edge score ranges from 0 to 5. The wound undermining score ranges from 0 to 5. The necrotic tissue type score ranges from 1 to 5. The necrotic tissue amount ranges from 1 to 5. The exudate type score ranges from 1 to 5. The exudate amount score ranges from 1 to 5. The skin color surrounding wound score ranges from 1 to 5. The peripheral tissue edema score ranges from 1 to 5. The peripheral tissue induration score score ranges from 1 to 5. The granulation tissue score ranges from 1 to 5. The epithelialization score ranges from 1 to 5. The total score from these sub-scores added together is used as the total BWAT score. For all sub-score values, a value of 0 or 1 is a better outcome. The minimum total score is 9 and the maximum total score is 65.

    Measured: The BWAT score will be recorded at weekly visits over fours weeks for each subject.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Honey Impregnated Dressing in people with Wound Heal and Necrotic Tissue Removal, 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 14 inclusion and 10 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 8 Apr 2020. 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 20 Mar 2020). 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?

Change in Necrotic Tissue (time frame: From initial date of application to weekly visits assessed up to 4 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 8 Apr 2020.
