About this study

Official title: Clinical Research Study to Evaluate the Effect of Colgate Mouthwashes on Oral Microbiome in Oral Tissue Samples

The purpose of this clinical research study is to investigate if mouthwashes to be tested can affect oral mucosal wound healing and change the oral microbiome (bacteria colonization) or expression of selected biomarkers.

Being tested
cetylpyridinium chloride

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

    The mouthwash is used to see the effects on wound healing and the oral microbiome.

What is being measured

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

  1. Wound healing

    Images of the oral wounds will be taken before and after using the mouthwash treatment on days 1, 3, 5, and 7. The images will be taken on a digital camera. The wound sizes will be measured in mm2 using ImageJ software. The wound size will be measured at each time point and will be compared between a tested mouthwash and its placebo.

    Measured: 7 Days

  2. Microbiome

    Swabs will be collected from the hard palate on both the wounded and unwounded sides before and after injury and the mouthwash treatment at days 1, 3, 5, and 7. 16S rRNA sequencing will be performed to determine the bacteria microbiome. Correlations and relative abundance of bacteria will be compared at phylum and genus levels using bioinformatics tools between a mouthwash treated group and its placebo at different time points.

    Measured: 5 Days

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Biomarker expression

    Real time polymerase chain reaction will be used to assess the mRNA expression of biomarkers in wound biopsy samples collected at days 1 and 3 post wounding and mouthwash treatment. The biomarkers include collagen I, collagen III, metalloproteinase-2, metalloproteinase-9, Interleukin-1β, Interleukin-6, and vascular endothelial growth factor. The fold changes of biomarker mRNA expression at each time point over the expression in unwounded tissues will be compared between a tested mouthwash and its placebo.

    Measured: 3 Days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing cetylpyridinium chloride in people with Wound Heal and Oral Microbiome, run by University of Illinois Chicago 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 18 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 22 Feb 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. 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?

Wound healing (time frame: 7 Days). 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?
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 Feb 2024.
