What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Change from baseline in D-SQUAME
D-SQUAME is a sticky tape that is placed on the skin and the more skin that comes off on the tape, the drier the skin and less moisturization and desquamation.
Measured: Baseline, Day 2, Day 14
Secondary outcomes (7)
Change from baseline in overall dry skin scale
An evaluation of the skin by a blinded Investigator was utilized to assess the overall appearance of the skin on an ordinal scale from 0 = none to 4 = severe in five domains.
Measured: Baseline, Day 2, Day 14
Change from baseline in Skin Dryness assessed by Dry Skin Scale
An evaluation of the skin by a blinded Investigator was utilized to assess the overall appearance of the skin on an ordinal scale from 0 = none to 4 = severe.
Measured: Baseline, Day 2, Day 14
Change from baseline in Skin Texture/Roughness (Tactile) assessed by Dry Skin Scale assessed by Dry Skin Scale
An evaluation of the skin by a blinded Investigator was utilized to assess the overall appearance of the skin on an ordinal scale from 0 = none to 4 = severe.
Measured: Baseline, Day 2, Day 14
Change from baseline in Skin Texture/Roughness (Visual) assessed by Dry Skin Scale
An evaluation of the skin by a blinded Investigator was utilized to assess the overall appearance of the skin on an ordinal scale from 0 = none to 4 = severe.
Measured: Baseline, Day 2, Day 14
Change from baseline in Desquamation/Flakiness assessed by Dry Skin Scale
An evaluation of the skin by a blinded Investigator was utilized to assess the overall appearance of the skin on an ordinal scale from 0 = none to 4 = severe.
Measured: Baseline, Day 2, Day 14
Change from baseline in Luminosity/Radiance assessed by Dry Skin Scale
An evaluation of the skin by a blinded Investigator was utilized to assess the overall appearance of the skin on an ordinal scale from 0 = none to 4 = severe.
Measured: Baseline, Day 2, Day 14
Change from baseline in Subject Self-Assessment Questionnaire
Subjects rated the skin attributes of the treated leg in nine domains on a scale from 0 - 4 .
Measured: Baseline, Day 14
