About this study

Official title: A Single Centre Comparison Study on Adhesion Properties of Three (3) Skin Adhesives on Healthy, Female, Adult Volunteers

This clinical investigation is a single centre, double blinded, case control study in healthy adult females. This study will be conducted in private rooms at Gentofte Hospital (Hjerte-medicinsk Forskning, post 835, Kildegårdsvej 28, 2900 Hellerup).

The investigation centre will enroll 39 subjects including a 20% drop out within a four (4) months period. The subject will not be enrolled before approval of investigation protocol by the local ethics committee.

The subjects need to meet the inclusion and exclusion criteria to be included in this clinical investigation. Each volunteer enrolled in the investigation can only participate once in a procedure. The testing period for each subject will be minimum 72 hours.

The principal investigator's qualifications will be verified through his/her CV. The principal investigator is required to be a medical doctor with at least one year's experience in using similar medical adhesives (e.g. by being experienced in using electrodes where medical adhesives are included) and at least one year's experience with clinical research. In addition, the investigator must be trained in GCP before the study is initiated.

If any subject withdraws from the study, they will not be replaced as drop-out rate is included in the sample size.

Subjects must show up for two sessions, in the first session six adhesives will be placed below the subjects bra. The adhesives will be removed after minimum 72 hours at the second visit. While wearing the adhesives the subjects must keep the investigational area dry. 24, 48 and 72 hours after placement of the adhesives, the subject is asked to completed a questionnaire.

The eCRF must be completed for each subject that has signed the Informed consent form (ICF) and enrolled into this clinical investigation.

All study participantsExperimentalEach study participant will test two patches of each of three different experimental adhesives. Six patches in total.

What is being measured

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

  1. Number of Participants Who Achieved Adhesion Success After 72 Hours

    Did the adhesive stay attached to the skin for 72 hours (Yes/No). For the adhesive to be considered attached (yes) more than 75% adherence should be achieved.

    Rate of adhesion on a 5-point scale (no lift off the skin to detached and completely off the skin) 0 = ≥90% adhered (essentially no lift off the skin).

    1. = ≥75% to <90% adhered (only some edges lift off the skin).
    2. = ≥50% to <75% adhered (less than half lifts off the skin).
    3. = >0% to < 50% adhered (more than half lifts off the skin without falling off).
    4. = 0% adhered (detached and is completely off the skin). A worst-case scenario was used, i.e. the least favourable, score of the two scores (there are two scores as there are two adhesives of each type on every subject) for each type of adhesive.

    Measured: After a minimum of 72 hours (no more than 3 days) after application the adhesives will be removed and assessed by a medical doctor

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Number of Participants Experiencing Itchiness by the Adhesive at 24, 48 and 72 Hours

    Subject evaluation of itchiness caused by the adhesives at 24, 48, 72 hours measured on visual analogue scale (VAS) (0-10) 0 = 'No itch', 10 = Worst imaginable itch. Adhesives when only including the worst score on each adhesive for each subject

    Measured: 24, 48 and 72 hours after adhesive application

  2. Rate of Ease of Removal of Adhesive After 72 Hours

    Ease of removal on 5-point scale (very difficult to very easy) ; 1: Very difficult; 2: Difficult; 3: Acceptable; 4: Easy; 5: Very easy.

    Measured: After a minimum of 72 hours (no more than 3 days) after application the adhesives will be removed and assessed by a medical doctor

  3. Rate of Pain During Removal of Adhesive After 72 Hours

    Subject evaluation of pain during removal of the adhesives measured on visual analogue scale (0-10). 0= no pain, 10 = Worst possible pain

    Measured: After a minimum of 72 hours (no more than 3 days) after application the adhesives will be removed and assessed by a medical doctor

  4. Rate of Skin Reaction After Wearing Adhesive for 72 Hours

    Skin reaction rated on a scale from 0-7 (no evidence of irritation to strong reaction spreading beyond the application site).

    0: No evidence of irritation

    1. Minimal erythema that is barely perceptible
    2. Definite erythema that is readily visible and minimal edema or minimal papular response
    3. Erythema and papules
    4. Definite edema
    5. Erythema, edema and papules
    6. Vesicular eruption
    7. Strong reaction spreading beyond the application site

    Measured: After a minimum of 72 hours (no more than 3 days) after application the adhesives will be removed and assessed by a medical doctor

  5. Number of Participants With Adhesive Residue Left on Skin After Removal of Adhesive

    The number of participants with any adhesive residue left on skin after removal of adhesive (yes/no) after 72 hours.

    Measured: After a minimum of 72 hours (no more than 3 days) after application the adhesives will be removed and assessed by a medical doctor

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Denmark. 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.

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 22 Jul 2026). 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?

Number of Participants Who Achieved Adhesion Success After 72 Hours (time frame: After a minimum of 72 hours (no more than 3 days) after application the adhesives will be removed and assessed by a medical doctor). 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 22 Jul 2026.
