Comparative Study to Assess an Advanced Skin Protectant in the Management of Incontinence-associated Dermatitis

Not Applicable
Terminated
Conditions
Incontinence-associated Dermatitis
Interventions
Device: Cavilon Advanced Skin Protectant
Device: IAD Hospital Standard Care
Registration Number
NCT03298113
Lead Sponsor
Solventum US LLC
Brief Summary

The purpose of the clinical study is to assess the effects of 3M Cavilon Advanced Skin Protectant in comparison to different local IAD care regimes in hospitals (IAD: Incontinence-associated Dermatitis)

Detailed Description

The purpose of the clinical study is to assess the effects of 3M Cavilon Advanced Skin Protectant in comparison to different local IAD care regimes in hospitals (IAD: incontinence-associated dermatitis). IAD is a skin damage caused by exposure to moisture and irritants such as urine and/or stool. The clinical appearance ranges from painful erythema to severe erosion and denudation/skin loss with or without secondary infection. The durable, long lasting skin protectant (3M study device) is formulated to attach to moist or wet skin surfaces (i.e., superficial, partial thickness skin loss) to provide better protection against moisture and irritants under challenging conditions.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Healing of IADup to 21 days depending on length of hospitalization

Number and percentage of patients completely healed (skin free of any IAD signs, including erythema, based on a structured skin assessment according to the GLOBIAD criteria (GLOBIAD: Ghent Global IAD Categorization Tool)

Note: Due to the exploratory design no formal a priori hypothesis was defined for this study. The outcome measure type for all endpoints is "other pre-specified". The effects were analyzed using descriptive statistics. No confirmatory statements can be made about the effects and no comparative statements are possible. The sponsor decided to early terminate the study after 20 evaluable patients for the intention-to-treat analysis. Reason for the early termination was the slow enrollment rate of patients and overall short length of stay in hospital.
