About this study

Official title: A Single-blind, Randomized, Uni-centre Study to Determine the Characteristics of Different Types of Safety Lancets on Blood Volume and Perceived Pain in Male and Female Volunteers

The study was a randomized, single blind, uni-center pivotal study in male and female healthy volunteers, to determine capillary blood volume and pain perception obtained in a process of puncturing with different safety lancets.

A group of one hundred (100) healthy Caucasian male and female Subjects (aged > 18 to < 65 years old was randomized ) who were in good physical and mental condition. The Subjects had 4 (four) fingers (two fingers from each hand) lanced each with a different type of safety lancet. Overall, 4 (four) different safety lancets were investigated per each Subject.

Overall, 16 (sixteen) different safety lancets (4 different safety lancets per one Subject) were investigated, the capillary blood volume and pain were measured.

What is being measured

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

  1. Volume (microliters) of blood in the capillary tube

    The amount of capillary blood volume collected after a single lancing of the fingertip.

    Measured: The blood from the puncture site was collected to the capillaries by pressing during 2 minutes

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Pain perception: VAS

    The intensity of pain perceived by the patient was assessed with the use of the numeric Visual Analog Scale (VAS). The Subject marked on the scale the number from 0 ("no pain") to 10 ("worst imaginable pain") that represented their perception of pain. A higher score indicated greater pain intensity.

    Measured: 5 minutes after lancing

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Acti-Lance Lite, Acti-Lance Universal and Acti-Lance Special in people with Healthy, run by HTL-Strefa S.A. at 1 site in Poland.

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 13 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 28 Jun 2019. 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 Poland. 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?

Volume (microliters) of blood in the capillary tube (time frame: The blood from the puncture site was collected to the capillaries by pressing during 2 minutes). 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 NCT04001348, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 28 Jun 2019.
