What is being measured

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

  1. Composite Healing Score

    Composite healing score will be calculated from clinical grading of wound healing parameters as (general wound appearance score plus [+] smoothness score + epithelial confluence score) minus [-] (erythema score + edema score + crusting/scabbing score). Composite healing score on a 25-point scale (-12 [no healing] to +12 [towards healing]) is indicative of extent of wound healing and will be calculated for each wound site at each evaluation day.

    Measured: Day 0 through Day 7

  2. Composite Healing Score

    Composite healing score will be calculated from clinical grading of wound healing parameters as (general wound appearance score + smoothness score + epithelial confluence score) - (erythema score + edema score + crusting/scabbing score). Composite healing score on a 25-point scale (-12 [no healing] to +12 [towards healing]) is indicative of extent of wound healing and will be calculated for each wound site at each evaluation day.

    Measured: Day 16

Secondary outcomes (12)
  1. Clinical Grading of Wound Healing of Erythema

    Clinical grading of wound healing of erythema will be reported. It will be evaluated on a scale of 0 to 4 with 0=none/absent, 1=mild, 2=moderate, 3=marked, and 4=severe, with higher scores indicating a worse outcome.

    Measured: Day 0 through Day 7, Day 16

  2. Clinical Grading of Wound Healing of Edema

    Clinical grading of wound healing of edema will be reported. It will be evaluated on a scale of 0 to 4 with 0=none/absent, 1=mild, 2=moderate, 3=marked, and 4=severe, with higher scores indicating a worse outcome.

    Measured: Day 0 through Day 7, Day 16

  3. Clinical Grading of Wound Healing of General Wound Appearance

    Clinical grading of wound healing of general wound appearance will be reported. It is evaluated on a scale from 0 to 4 with 0=poor, 1=fair, 2=good, 3=very good, 4=excellent with higher scores indicating a better outcome.

    Measured: Day 0 through Day 7, Day 16

  4. Clinical Grading of Wound Healing of Smoothness

    Clinical grading of wound healing of smoothness of popped pimple as assessed by trained grader will be reported. It will be evaluated on a scale of 0 to 4 with 0=rough, uneven wound, 1=mild smoothness, 2=moderate smoothness, 3=extensive smoothness, and 4=complete smooth, even wound, with higher scores indicating a better outcome.

    Measured: Day 0 through Day 7, Day 16

  5. Clinical Grading of Wound Healing of Epithelial Confluence

    Clinical grading of wound healing of epithelial confluence will be reported. It will be evaluated on a scale from 0 to 4 with 0=none (no epithelial coverage), 1=slight (up to 30 percent [%]), 2=moderate (31% to 60%), 3=extensive (61% to 90%), and 4=almost complete or complete (91% to 100%, covered with a full layer of new epithelial growth), with higher scores indicating a better outcome.

    Measured: Day 0 through Day 7, Day 16

  6. Clinical Grading of Wound Healing of Crusting/Scabbing

    Clinical grading of wound healing of crusting/scabbing will be reported. It will be evaluated on a scale of 0 to 4 with 0=none, 1=slight (up to 30%), 2=moderate (31% to 60%), 3=extensive (61% to 90%), and 4=almost complete or complete (91% to 100%), with higher scores indicating a worse outcome.

    Measured: Day 0 through Day 7, Day 16

  7. Wound Healing Process Assessment Score

    Wound healing process assessment of each test site will be performed and a score of "0" or "1" will be assigned where 0=primary healing (the wound heals by primary epithelial tissue), and 1=secondary healing (the wound heals through the stage of formation of connective tissue).

    Measured: Day 16

  8. Painful Score with Arm Resting by Side (Participant's Self-assessment Questionnaire)

    Painful score with arm resting by side based on participants self-assessment questionnaire score (question 1) will be reported. Participants will be asked to rate each wound for pain/soreness in resting position as score from 0 (no pain) to 10 (severe pain).

    Measured: Day 0 through Day 7, Day 16

  9. Pain Duration with Arm Resting by Side (Participant's Self-assessment Questionnaire)

    Participants will be asked to rate the pain as either brief, periodic, or constant in arm resting position with the Self-assessment questionnaire (question 2).

    Measured: Day 0 through Day 7, Day 16

  10. Painful Score with Arm in Normal Motion (Participant's Self-assessment Questionnaire)

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

    Measured: Day 0 through Day 7, Day 16

  11. Pain Duration with Arm in Normal Motion (Participant's Self-assessment Questionnaire)

    Participants will be asked to rate the pain as either brief, periodic, or constant in arm normal motion with the Self-Assessment Questionnaire (question 4).

    Measured: Day 0 through Day 7, Day 16

  12. Itchy Score of Wound Site (Participant's Self-assessment Questionnaire)

    Itchy score based on participants self-assessment questionnaire score (question 5) will be reported. Participants will be asked to rate each wound for itchiness as score from 0 (no itch) to 10 (severe itch).

    Measured: Day 0 through Day 7, Day 16

A study testing SoC Adhesive Bandage, Antibiotic Ointment and Antiseptic Wash 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 12 inclusion and 21 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 25 Mar 2025. 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?

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?

Composite Healing Score (time frame: Day 0 through Day 7). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT05045183, which also lists 7 linked publications.

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 25 Mar 2025.
