About this study

Official title: Comparison of Efficacy and Safety Between Moisturising Cream Containing 12% Ammonium Lactate AND 10% Urea in Geriatric With Xerosis Cutis: Double Blind Randomised Controlled Trial

This study aims to compare the efficacy and safety between moisturizing cream containing 12% ammonium lactate and 10% urea in geriatric with xerosis cutis. A double-blind randomized controlled trial with matching paired subject was conducted on 40 residents of a nursing home in Jakarta. Specified symptom sum score (SRRC), skin capacitance (SCap), transepidermal water loss (TEWL), and side effects were measured at baseline, week-2 and week-4 after therapy, and week-5 one week after therapy cessation. After a week of preconditioning, each subject received two different moisturizing creams to be applied on separate lower limbs.

Read the detailed description

Dry skin or xerosis cutis is widely known skin health issue in geriatric population with prevalence rate ranges between 29.5 - 85.5%. One of the internal etiological factors is decreased production of natural moisturizing factor as a humectant. Application of moisturizer is the mainstay treatment. Moisturizer with humectant property, like lactate and urea, could restore skin hydration and barrier dysfunction. This study aims to compare the efficacy and safety between moisturizing cream containing 12% ammonium lactate and 10% urea in geriatric with xerosis cutis.

12% AMMONIUM LACTATEExperimentalMatching paired subject was conducted on 40 residents. Test subject received two different randomized moisturizing creams to be applied on two separate locations on the lower limbs twice a day for 4 weeks. One of the moisturising cream contained active ingredient 12% ammonium lactate. The evaluation of specified symptom sum score (SRRC), skin capacitance (SCap), transepidermal water loss (TEWL), and side effects were measured at baseline, week-2 and week-4 after therapy, and week-5 one week after therapy cessation.

What is being measured

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

  1. First Evaluation of Specified Symptom Sum Score (SRRC)

    System with grading of scaliness, roughness, redness, and cracks with score ranges from 0-12 because the redness and cracks scores were limited to 2. Performed before therapy.

    Measured: initial visit (day 1)

  2. Second Evaluation of Specified Symptom Sum Score (SRRC)

    System with grading of scaliness, roughness, redness, and cracks with score ranges from 0-12 because the redness and cracks scores were limited to 2. Performed during therapy.

    Measured: Change of SSRC at day 15 from initial visit

  3. Third Evaluation of Specified Symptom Sum Score (SRRC)

    System with grading of scaliness, roughness, redness, and cracks with score ranges from 0-12 because the redness and cracks scores were limited to 2. Performed during therapy.

    Measured: Change of SSRC at day 29 from initial visit

  4. Fourth Evaluation of Specified Symptom Sum Score (SRRC)

    System with grading of scaliness, roughness, redness, and cracks with score ranges from 0-12 because the redness and cracks scores were limited to 2. Performed after 1 week of therapy discontinuation

    Measured: Change of SSRC at day 36

  5. First Evaluation of Skin Capacitance (SCap)

    Assess the skin barrier homeostasis condition using Corneometer® CM 825 (Courage - Khazaka, Germany). Performed before therapy.

    Measured: Performed at initial visit (day-1)

  6. Second Evaluation of Skin Capacitance (SCap)

    Assess the skin barrier homeostasis condition using Corneometer® CM 825 (Courage - Khazaka, Germany). Performed during therapy.

    Measured: Change of SCap at day-15

  7. Third Evaluation of Skin Capacitance (SCap)

    Assess the skin barrier homeostasis condition using Corneometer® CM 825 (Courage - Khazaka, Germany). Performed during therapy.

    Measured: Change of SCap at day-29

  8. Fourth Evaluation of Skin Capacitance (SCap)

    Assess the skin barrier homeostasis condition using Corneometer® CM 825 (Courage - Khazaka, Germany). Performed after 1 week of therapy discontinuation

    Measured: Change of SCap at day-36

  9. First Evaluation of Transepidermal Water Loss (TEWL)

    Assess the skin barrier homeostasis condition using Tewameter® TM300 before therapy.

    Measured: Performed at initial visit (day-1)

  10. Second Evaluation of Transepidermal Water Loss (TEWL)

    Assess the skin barrier homeostasis condition using Tewameter® TM300. Performed during therapy.

    Measured: Change of TEWL at day-15 from initial visit

  11. Third Evaluation of Transepidermal Water Loss (TEWL)

    Assess the skin barrier homeostasis condition using Tewameter® TM300. Performed during therapy.

    Measured: Change of TEWL at day-29 from initial visit

  12. Fourth Evaluation of Transepidermal Water Loss (TEWL)

    Assess the skin barrier homeostasis condition using Tewameter® TM300. Performed after 1 week of therapy discontinuation.

    Measured: Change of TEWL at day-36 from initial visit

  13. First Side Effect Evaluation

    Subjective by the presence of contact dermatitis, folliculitis, and miliaria; objective by complaints of pruritus, sore, or stinging.

    Measured: Performed at 2 weeks after therapy (day-15)

  14. Second Side Effect Evaluation

    Subjective by the presence of contact dermatitis, folliculitis, and miliaria; objective by complaints of pruritus, sore, or stinging.

    Measured: Performed at day-29 (4 weeks after therapy)

  15. Third Side Effect Evaluation

    Subjective by the presence of contact dermatitis, folliculitis, and miliaria; objective by complaints of pruritus, sore, or stinging. Performed after 1 week of therapy discontinuation

    Measured: Performed at day-36 (5 weeks after therapy)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Ammonium Lactate and Urea in people with Xerosis Cutis, run by Universitas Indonesia at 1 site in Indonesia.

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 3 inclusion and 3 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 15 Oct 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 Indonesia. 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.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

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?

First Evaluation of Specified Symptom Sum Score (SRRC) (time frame: initial visit (day 1)). The study lists 15 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 15 Oct 2019.
