About this study

Official title: Multicenter, Prospective, Randomized Controlled Study to Show Equivalence of DERMABOND PROTAPE to DERMABOND HVD for Closure of Simple, Thoroughly Cleansed, Trauma-induced Wounds in the Emergency Department

This is a multicenter, prospective, randomized controlled study for the purpose of comparing DERMABOND PROTAPE to DERMABOND HVD for closure of wounds in the Emergency Department. The objective of this study is to demonstrate whether the incidence of wound closure for DERMABOND PROTAPE is equivalent to that measured for DERMABOND HVD.

Read the detailed description

According to the literature, cyanoacrylate adhesives (topical skin adhesive) have performed as intended and have not produced results that would bring into question the safety or effectiveness of cyanoacrylate adhesive for closure of surgical incisions and traumatic wounds in humans.

As such, this is a multicenter, prospective, randomized controlled study for the purpose of comparing two forms of topical skin adhesives, DERMABOND PROTAPE \& DERMABOND HVD for closure of wounds in the Emergency Department.

Patients presenting in the Emergency Department with traumatic wounds meeting the acceptance criteria will have their wounds closed with DERMABOND PROTAPE or DERMABOND HVD, and will be monitored and evaluated at 14 \& 30 days.

What is being measured

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

  1. The Incidence of Wound Closure Post-treatment, as Defined by Continuous Approximation of Wound Margins From the Time of Wound Closure Until the Day of Evaluation Without Dehiscence or Need for Reclosure.

    Data is presented as binomial tables of proportions of successes and failures for each treatment. The 90% two-sided exact confidence intervals (CI) for the differences in the proportions for each study group was calculated. The upper limit of the 90% CI was then taken to represent the upper limit of the one-sided 95% CI. The primary objective of the study was met if the upper limit of the one-sided 95% CI of the difference in proportions (comparator minus treatment) did not exceed 8%.

    Measured: 14 days (±2 days)

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Cosmesis

    The evaluation of healing and cosmetic outcome post-treatment using the modified Hollander Cosmesis Scale (mHCS). The proportion of patients with a zero (0) score will be compared between the test and control arms.

    Measured: 30 days (±5 days)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing cyanoacrylate with pressure sensitive mesh and cyanoacrylate in people with Lacerations, run by Ethicon, Inc. at 9 sites 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 7 inclusion and 23 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 6 Aug 2013. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 9 sites 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.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 6 Aug 2013). 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?

The Incidence of Wound Closure Post-treatment, as Defined by Continuous Approximation of Wound Margins From the Time of Wound Closure Until the Day of Evaluation Without Dehiscence or Need for Reclosure. (time frame: 14 days (±2 days)). 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 6 Aug 2013.
