What is being measured

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

  1. Percentage of Participants With a Significant Skin Event (Day 5 Cumulative)

    Events associated with Day X wear (eg, Day 5) assessed morning of Day X+1 (eg, Day 6). Significant skin event: at least moderate erythema, elevated response or pain upon touch (associated with non-zero erythema). Erythema grading scale: 0 (no visible erythema) to 3.0 (severe erythema, very intense redness) with 0.5 increments. Moderate erythema (2.0): definite redness. Elevated response: edema, papules, vesicle (≤ 0.5 centimeter [cm] diameter), bullae (> 0.5 cm diameter), miliaria rubra, profunda or follicular response. Pain upon touch: skin grader asked "Does your skin hurt when I touch it?"

    Measured: Day 2 to Day 6

Secondary outcomes (7)
  1. Percentage of Participants With Significant Skin Event (Days 1 Through 4 Cumulative)

    Events associated with Day X wear (eg, Day 4) assessed on the morning of Day X+1 (eg, Day 5). Significant skin event: at least moderate erythema, elevated response or pain upon touch (associated with non-zero erythema). Erythema grading scale: 0 (no visible erythema) to 3.0 (severe erythema, very intense redness) with 0.5 point increments. Moderate erythema (2.0): definite redness. Elevated responses: edema, papules, vesicle (≤ 0.5 cm diameter), bullae (> 0.5 cm diameter), miliaria rubra, profunda or follicular response. Pain upon touch: skin grader asked "Does your skin hurt when I touch it?"

    Measured: Day 2 to Day 5

  2. Time to First Significant Skin Event

    Significant skin event: at least moderate erythema, elevated response or pain upon touch (associated with non-zero erythema). Erythema grading scale: 0 (no visible erythema) to 3.0 (severe erythema, very intense redness) with 0.5 point increments. Moderate erythema (2.0): definite redness. Elevated responses: edema, papules, vesicle (≤ 0.5 cm diameter), bullae (> 0.5 cm diameter), miliaria rubra, profunda or follicular response. Pain upon touch: skin grader asked "Does your skin hurt when I touch it?"

    Measured: Baseline to Day 6

  3. Percentage of Participants With Any Non-zero Erythema Score or Elevated Response (Days 1 Through 5 Cumulative)

    Events associated with Day X wear (eg, Day 5) assessed on the morning of Day X+1 (eg, Day 6). Erythema grading scale was a 7 point scale that ranged from 0 (no visible erythema) to 3.0 (severe erythema, very intense redness), with 0.5 point increments. Elevated responses included edema, papules, vesicle (≤ 0.5 cm diameter), bullae (> 0.5 cm diameter), miliaria rubra, profunda, or follicular response.

    Measured: Day 2 to Day 6

  4. Time to First Report of Non-zero Erythema Score or Elevated Response

    Erythema grading scale was a 7 point scale that ranged from 0 (no visible erythema) to 3.0 (severe erythema, very intense redness), with 0.5 point increments. Elevated responses included edema, papules, vesicle (≤ 0.5 cm diameter), bullae (> 0.5 cm diameter), miliaria rubra, profunda, or follicular response.

    Measured: Baseline to Day 6

  5. Time to Worsening of Non-zero Erythema Score or Elevated Response Leading to Study Discontinuation

    Participants discontinued study due to adverse event (AE) if erythema ≥ 2.0, pain upon touch associated with non-zero erythema score or elevated response on the morning of Day X+1. Erythema grading scale: 0 (no visible erythema) to 3.0 (severe erythema, very intense redness) with 0.5 point increments. Elevated responses included edema, papules, vesicle (≤ 0.5 cm diameter), bullae (> 0.5 cm diameter), miliaria rubra, profunda or follicular response. Pain upon touch: skin grader asked "Does your skin hurt when I touch it?"

    Measured: Baseline to Day 6

  6. Percentage of Participants Discontinued From Wrap Wear by 8 Hours on Any Day

    Skin assessments performed prior to heatwrap application; participant discontinued wrap wear for day (8 hours) if erythema score ≥ 2 with pain upon touch or elevated response. Outcome included those who discontinued wrap wear by 4 hours on same day. Erythema grading scale: 7 point scale that ranged from 0 (no visible erythema) to 3.0 (severe erythema, very intense redness) with 0.5 point increments. Moderate erythema (2.0) was definite redness. Elevated responses included edema, papules, vesicle (≤ 0.5 cm diameter), bullae (> 0.5 cm diameter), miliaria rubra, profunda or follicular response.

    Measured: Baseline to Day 6

  7. Percentage of Participants Discontinued From Wrap Wear by 4 Hours on Any Day

    Skin assessments performed after 4 hours of wear, participants discontinued wrap wear for remainder of day (4 hours) if erythema score ≥ 2 with pain upon touch or elevated response. Erythema grading scale: 7 point scale ranging from 0 (no visible erythema) to 3.0 (severe erythema, very intense redness) with 0.5 point increments. Moderate erythema (2.0) was definite redness. Elevated responses included edema, papules, vesicle (≤ 0.5 cm diameter), bullae (> 0.5 cm diameter), miliaria rubra, profunda and follicular response.

    Measured: Baseline to Day 6

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Heatwrap 1 in people with Healthy, run by Pfizer.

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 3 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 19 Jun 2012. 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.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

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 19 Jun 2012). 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?

Percentage of Participants With a Significant Skin Event (Day 5 Cumulative) (time frame: Day 2 to Day 6). 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 19 Jun 2012.
