What is being measured

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

  1. Time to Complete Wound Healing

    Time to complete wound healing: time(in days) elapsed from time of wound creation to 12 PM of day (up to Day 16) on which composite healing score(CHS) first meets complete healing criterion of being at least a score of 8 (threshold for complete healing). CHS was calculated from clinical grading of wound healing parameters as general wound appearance (0 [Poor-New or fresh wound with epithelium layer missing, wound bed appears raw and possibly oozing] to 4 [Excellent-Fully healed, skin flush against surrounding skin, slight color mismatch may be present])+smoothness (0 [Rough, uneven wound]- 4 [complete smoothness, even wound])+epithelial confluence (0 [None]- 4 [91-100%full epithelial growth]) - erythema (0 [None]- 4 [Severe]) - edema (0 [None]- 4 [Severe]) - crusting/scabbing (0 [None]- 4 [90-100% crusting/scabbing]). CHS on 25-point scale (-12 [no healing] to +12 [towards healing]) is indicative of extent of wound healing and was calculated for each wound site at each evaluation day.

    Measured: Up to Day 16

Secondary outcomes (9)
  1. Change From Baseline in Trans-Epidermal Water Loss (TEWL) Measurements

    Change from Baseline in TEWL was reported. TEWL is the passive transfer of water through stratum corneum and was measured for each wound site using Tewameter TM330T. TEWL is a non-invasive method to measure the integrity of stratum corneum barrier function. Tewameter probe measures the density gradient of the water evaporation from the skin indirectly by two pairs of sensors (temperature and relative humidity) inside a hollow cylinder. The probe was held in place on the skin for one measurement, for 40 sec, to ensure that a stable value has been established. The values of the last 10 sec are averaged as the actual measurement values. An increase in TEWL values shows damage to the skin barrier function.

    Measured: Day 0 (immediate after wound creation), Day 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13 and 14

  2. Change From Baseline in Clinical Grading of Wound Healing Parameter - Erythema

    Change from baseline in Clinical grading of wound healing parameter (erythema) was evaluated on a scale of 0 (no erythema) to 4 (severe erythema).

    Measured: Day 0 (immediate after wound creation), Day 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15 and 16

  3. Change From Baseline in Clinical Grading of Wound Healing Parameter - Edema

    Change from baseline in Clinical grading of wound healing parameter (edema) was evaluated on a scale of 0 (no edema) to 4 (severe edema).

    Measured: Day 0 (immediate after wound creation), Day 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15 and 16

  4. Change From Baseline in Composite Scar Score

    Change from baseline in composite scar score was reported. It was calculated as the sum of the individual parameters on the Manchester Scar Scale (Color ranges 1 [perfect] to 4 [gross mismatch]), Finish ranges 1 [matte] to 2 [shiny], Contour ranges 1 [Flush with surrounding skin] to 4 [keloid], Distortion ranges 1 [none] to 4 [severe] and Texture ranges 1 [normal] to 4 [hard]). Composite Scar Scores range from 5 to 18, with 5 representing clinically best scars and 18 representing clinically worst scars.

    Measured: Baseline and Day 28

  5. Change From Baseline in Painful Score With Arm Resting by Side

    Change from baseline in painful score based on participants self-assessment questionnaire score (question 1) was reported. Participants were asked to rate each wound for pain/soreness in resting position as score from 0 (no pain) to 10 (severe pain).

    Measured: Baseline, Day 1, 2, 3 and 4

  6. Change From Baseline in Painful Score With Arm in Normal Motion

    Change from baseline in Painful Score based on participants self-assessment questionnaire score (question 3) was reported. Participants were asked to rate each wound for pain/soreness in normal position as score from 0 (no pain) to 10 (severe pain).

    Measured: Baseline, Day 1, 2, 3 and 4

  7. Change From Baseline in Itchy Score

    Change from baseline in itchy score based on participants self-assessment questionnaire score (question 5) was reported. Participants were asked to rate each wound for itchiness as score from 0 (no itch) to 10 (severe itch).

    Measured: Baseline, Day 1, 2, 3 and 4

  8. Number of Participants With Pain Duration With Arm Resting by Side

    Participants were asked to rate the pain as either brief, periodic, or constant in arm resting position with the Self-Assessment Questionnaire (question 2). Number of participants with pain duration (brief, periodic, or constant) with arm resting by side was reported.

    Measured: Day 1, 2, 3 and 4

  9. Number of Participants With Pain Duration With Arm in Normal Motion

    Participants were asked to rate the pain as either brief, periodic, or constant in arm normal motion with the Self-Assessment Questionnaire (question 4). Number of participants with pain duration (brief, periodic, or constant) with arm in normal motion was reported.

    Measured: Day 1, 2, 3 and 4

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Marketed Adhesive Bandage #1, Marketed Bandage #2 and Non-Marketed Bandage #1 in people with Wound Healing, run by Johnson & Johnson Consumer Inc. (J&JCI) 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 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 3 Jul 2023. 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 4 Feb 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?

Time to Complete Wound Healing (time frame: Up to Day 16). 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 3 Jul 2023; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 6 Nov 2026.
