About this study

Official title: A Phase I, Randomized, Open-label, One-arm, Active Controlled Study to Evaluate the Pressure Interface Between Device and Skin of a Compression Device and Profore® on Healthy Volunteers

This phase I Healthy Volunteer study will evaluate the pressure interface between the devices (a compression device and Profore®) and the skin, using the PicoPress(TM) pressure transducer at specified time intervals in three distinct locations on the leg, in both the sitting and standing position. It will also assess the variability of interface pressure following application under each test device for each subject over a period of three days (three separate applications).

Being tested
Compression Device, Profore®

What participants receive

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

  • Compression DeviceDevice

    The compression device will be worn for 8 hours each day on one leg. The device will be applied by the same clinician every morning.Interface pressure measurements will be made in both the sitting and standing position at three locations on the leg at the following time intervals:

    • Immediately following device application
    • 1 hour
    • 4 hours
    • 8 hours
  • Profore®Device

    Profore® will be worn for 8 hours each day on opposite leg. Profore® will be applied by the same clinician every morning.Interface pressure measurements will be made in both the sitting and standing position at three locations on the leg at the following time intervals:

    • Immediately following device application
    • 1 hour
    • 4 hours
    • 8 hours

What is being measured

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

  1. To evaluate the amount of pressure and the variability of interface pressure of the two devices on application

    Measured: 3 days

  2. To evaluate pressure change of the interface pressure with the compression device and Profore® over time

    Measured: 3 days

  3. Safety will be evaluated by the nature and frequency of adverse events.

    Measured: 3 days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Compression Device and Profore® in people with Healthy Volunteers, run by ConvaTec Inc. at 1 site in Germany.

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 5 inclusion and 8 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 14 Oct 2015. 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 Germany. 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 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

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

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?

To evaluate the amount of pressure and the variability of interface pressure of the two devices on application (time frame: 3 days). The study lists 3 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 14 Oct 2015.
