About this study

Official title: Evaluation of the Antimicrobial Effectiveness of CHG/IPA in Healthy Volunteers

This single site study is a randomized, controlled, partially-blinded design enrolling a minimum of 516 healthy volunteers, where each subject will receive two of the planned study products on the product application sites of the abdomen and/or groin.

Read the detailed description

To demonstrate the antimicrobial activity of the Investigational Product (IP) by comparing counts of resident skin microbes, obtained after IP application to intact skin of the abdomen and groin, to counts obtained prior to application.

Being tested
Investigational Product, Reference Standard, Active Comparator, Negative Control
Medical subject headings
Communicable Diseases

What is being measured

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

  1. Antimicrobial log10 Reductions From Baseline for Investigational Product and Reference Standard at 30 Seconds and 6 Hours Post-product Application

    Bacterial log10/cm^2 reductions for abdominal and groin sites post-product application (30 seconds and 6 hours) using the Investigational Product or Reference Standard.

    Measured: 30 seconds and 6 hours post-product application

  2. Antimicrobial Activity (Efficacy): log10 CFU/cm2 of Resident Microbes on Skin at Baseline and 10 Minutes Post-product Application.

    Evaluation of antimicrobial activity will be based on log10 CFU/cm2 of resident microbes on skin before and after each product application on the abdomen and groin.

    Measured: Baseline and 10 minutes post-product application

  3. Responder Rate at 6 Hours Post-Product Application on the Abdomen.

    Number of participants with bacterial reduction greater than or equal to baseline (0).

    Measured: 6 hours post-product application

  4. Responder Rate at 6 Hours Post-Product Application on the Groin.

    Number of participants with bacterial reduction greater than or equal to baseline (0).

    Measured: 6 hours post-product application

    Evaluation of antimicrobial activity will be based on log10 CFU/cm2 of resident microbes on skin before and after each product application on the abdomen and groin.

    Measured: Baseline and 30 seconds post-product application

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Investigational Product, Reference Standard and Active Comparator in people with Microbial Colonization, run by Becton, Dickinson and Company at 1 site in Romania.

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 7 inclusion and 17 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 17 Aug 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 Romania. 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 17 Aug 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?

Antimicrobial log10 Reductions From Baseline for Investigational Product and Reference Standard at 30 Seconds and 6 Hours Post-product Application (time frame: 30 seconds and 6 hours post-product application). The study lists 4 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 17 Aug 2021.
