Official title: The Microbiome of Hidradenitis Suppurativa (HS) Tunneling Wounds

The purpose of this study is to look at the change in the microbiome (bacterial composition) of an HS tunneling wound and examine if treatment with an antibiofilm surfactant wound gel (ABWG) (a topical medication that will fight bacteria attached to the surface of those tunnels) changes the bacterial composition of the wounds.

What is being measured

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

  1. Change in Microbiome

    As measured by quantitative 16s rDNA Polymerase Chain Reaction for bacterial enumeration from punch biopsy samples.

    Measured: Baseline, 4 weeks

Secondary outcomes (12)
  1. Change in Lesion Severity as Measured by HS-PGA

    HS Physician's Global Assessment (HS-PGA) Scale is a 6 point Likert scale from 0 (clear) to 5 (very severe)

    Measured: Baseline, 4 week

  2. Change in Lesion Severity as Measured by the Hurley Stage

    The Hurley score is staged as: 1 (single or multiple abscesses without sinus tract formation or scarring); 2 (recurrent abscesses with one or more sinus tracts and scarring widely separated by normal skin); 3 (diffuse involvement with multiple sinus tracts and no intervening normal skin).

    Measured: Baseline, 4 weeks

  3. Change in Pain as Measured by VAS

    Visual Analog Scale (VAS) has a total score ranging from 0 to 10 with the higher score indicating greater pain.

    Measured: Baseline, 4 weeks

  4. Change HS Lesion Erythema

    As measured the Clinician Erythema Assessment (CEA) scale. CEA scale ranges from 0 (clear) to 4 (severe).

    Measured: Baseline, 4 weeks

  5. Change in Exudate

    Exudate will be evaluated using a 5 point Likert scale from 0 (Dry) to 4 (Leaking).

    Measured: Baseline, 4 weeks

  6. Change in Range of Motion

    As measured by goniometer

    Measured: Baseline, 4 weeks

  7. Number of Participants With Decreased Pain Medication Use

    Pain medication use will be reported as the number of participants that reports a decrease in the dose and/or frequency of pain medication use

    Measured: 4 weeks

  8. Number of Participants With Escalated Pain Medication Use

    Pain medication use will be reported as the number of participants that reports an escalation from using Non-steroidal Anti-inflammatory Drugs (NSAIDs)/acetaminophen to opioids

    Measured: 4 weeks

  9. Change in Number of Days of Work/School Lost

    As self-reported by participants the number of days missed over the length of the study.

    Measured: Baseline, 4 weeks

  10. Number of Dressings Used

    As reported by participants

    Measured: 4 weeks

  11. Change in Quality of Life as Measured by HiSQOL

    HS quality of life (HiSQOL) has a total score ranging from 0 to 68, with higher scores indicating more severe impact on participant's quality of life

    Measured: Baseline, 4 weeks

  12. Change in Quality of Life as Measured by DLQI

    Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI) has a total score ranging from 0 to 30 with the lower score indicating higher health related quality of life

    Measured: Baseline, 4 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing antibiofilm surfactant wound gel (ABWG) in people with Hidradenitis Suppurativa, run by University of Miami 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 4 inclusion and 4 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 2 Apr 2024. 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 2 Apr 2024). 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?

Change in Microbiome (time frame: Baseline, 4 weeks). 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 2 Apr 2024.
