Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 18 years and older
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Who may be able to join

  • Non-pregnant, non-lactating/breastfeeding, non-incarcerated, English-speaking persons undergoing Mohs micrographic surgery (MMS) for malignant cutaneous neoplasms and receiving same-day defect repair by the MMS-performing surgeon
  • Able to provide written informed consent prior to initiation of any study-specific procedures
  • Able to swallow, retain, and absorb oral medications
  • All malignant cutaneous neoplasms will be included

Who cannot join

  • On antibiotic treatment or established intolerance or contraindication to povidone-iodine
  • Allergy to specific oral antibiotics that are utilized as part of the Mayo Clinic Antibiotic Prophylaxis protocol (cefalexin, azithromycin, clindamycin)
  • Requiring oral antibiotic therapy for prophylaxis postoperative infectious endocarditis or hematogenous total joint infection
  • Cases where skin reconstruction is performed with non-sterile gloves
  • Patients with lesions on the legs, as dilute vinegar soaks are standard practice and this would be a confounder for preventing surgical site infection
  • Patients at increased risk for severe infections, including patients on immunosuppressive medications and biologics, patients with a history of HIV infection, chronic lymphocytic leukemia, immunodeficiency syndromes, as well as patients with insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus

About this study

Official title: Efficacy of Intranasal Povidone Iodine Swab Versus Oral Antibiotic Prophylaxis to Prevent Surgical Site Infections in Patients Undergoing Mohs Micrographic Surgery

The purpose of this study is to compare surgical site infection rates for patients treated with Mohs micrographic surgery after bilateral nasal swab with povidone iodine versus standard treatment including the use of a standardized oral antibiotic prophylaxis protocol.

Being tested
Povidone-Iodine Swabs, Staphylococcus nasal swab, Antibiotic
Medical subject headings
Skin Neoplasms

What participants receive

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

  • Povidone-Iodine SwabsOther

    Also called Betadine, Iodophore, Iodopovidone

    Undergo nasal swab of both nostrils for 30 seconds into each nostril, allowing two minutes to dry, immediately (e.g. within 30 minutes) prior to performing skin reconstruction.

  • Staphylococcus nasal swabDiagnostic test

    Undergo a nasal swab to identify patients with preoperative nasal Staphylococcus aureus colonization

  • AntibioticDrug

    Also called Amoxicillin, Azithromycin/clarithromycin, Cephalexin, Clindamycin

    Receive an oral anti-staphylococcal antibiotic (e.g. oral cephalexin) with standard dosing only if indicated for antibiotic prophylaxis per the Mayo Clinic Dermatologic Surgery Antibiotic Prophylaxis protocol that is currently standard practice for patients undergoing Mohs micrographic surgery (MMS)

Study groups in NCT06207786
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Povidone Iodine nasal swabExperimentalPatients undergoing Mohs micrographic surgery (MMS) for malignant cutaneous neoplasms will receive nasal povidone-iodine swabs prior to skin reconstruction.
Receives: Other: Povidone-Iodine Swabs; Diagnostic Test: Staphylococcus nasal swab
Oral antibiotic prophylaxis protocol (usual care)OtherPatients undergoing Mohs micrographic surgery (MMS) for malignant cutaneous neoplasms will receive standard of care, including the provision of an oral anti-staphylococcal antibiotic per the standardized Antibiotic Prophylaxis protocol currently used for clinical decision making in Dermatologic Surgery at Mayo Clinic Rochester.
Receives: Diagnostic Test: Staphylococcus nasal swab; Drug: Antibiotic

What is being measured

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

  1. Effectiveness of nasal decolonization with povidone-iodine versus a standardized oral antibiotic prophylaxis protocol to prevent surgical site infection (SSI)

    Effectiveness of nasal decolonization will be assessed based on the presence of SSI within 30 days after Mohs micrographic surgery (MMS). SSI is defined by the United States Centers for Disease Control and Prevention as infection of the cutaneous and subcutaneous tissue occurring within 30 days of surgery. Rates of SSI for both treatment arms will be reported.

    Measured: 30 days after MMS

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Povidone-Iodine Swabs, Staphylococcus nasal swab and Antibiotic in people with Skin Cancer and Skin Cancer Face, run by Mayo Clinic.

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 6 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: withdrawn, as of the sponsor's last update on 25 Nov 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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 was withdrawn before enrolling participants, so there are no results.

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?

Effectiveness of nasal decolonization with povidone-iodine versus a standardized oral antibiotic prophylaxis protocol to prevent surgical site infection (SSI) (time frame: 30 days after MMS). 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 25 Nov 2024.
