About this study

Official title: A Prospective, Randomized, Open Label Trial of NanoDOX™ Hydrogel Plus Vacuum Assisted Closure Therapy Versus Vacuum Assisted Closure Therapy Alone in Orthopedic Trauma Wounds.

The purpose of this study is to determine the effect of NanoDOX™ Hydrogel in conjunction with serial wound debridement and irrigation on the healing rates of open traumatic orthopedic and soft tissue wounds when compared to a serial wound debridement and irrigation alone in patients receiving negative pressure wound therapy/vacuum assisted closure (NPWT/VAC) with reticulated open cell foam (ROCF) dressings.

Being tested
NanoDOX Hydrogel, VAC Alone

What participants receive

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

  • NanoDOX HydrogelDrug

    NanoDOX Hydrogel will be applied three time weekly to the wound for eight weeks along with VAC therapy

  • VAC AloneOther

    Patients will receive VAC therapy three time weekly for eight weeks

What is being measured

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

  1. Determine the effect of NanoDOX Hydrogel on the healing rates of open traumatic orthopedic wounds with and without vacuum assisted closure therapy.

    To determine the effect of NanoDOX™ Hydrogel in conjunction with serial wound debridement and irrigation on the healing rates of open traumatic orthopedic and soft tissue wounds when compared to a serial wound debridement and irrigation alone in patients receiving negative pressure wound therapy/vacuum assisted closure (NPWT/VAC) with reticulated open cell foam (ROCF) dressings.

    Measured: participants will be followed for up to eight weeks

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Analyze the molecular changes in proinflammatory cytokine levels and bioburden that occur in traumatic orthopedic and soft tissue wounds

    Analyze the molecular changes in proinflammatory cytokine levels and bioburden (quantitative bacteriology and qRT-PCR for 16S rDNA) that occur in traumatic orthopedic and soft tissue wounds as a function of healing rate in the presence/absence of NanoDOX™ Hydrogel.

    Measured: participants will have three visits per week for up to eight weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing NanoDOX Hydrogel and VAC Alone in people with Orthopedic Trauma Wounds, run by NanoSHIFT LLC at 2 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 11 inclusion and 16 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 23 Jun 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 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?

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?

Determine the effect of NanoDOX Hydrogel on the healing rates of open traumatic orthopedic wounds with and without vacuum assisted closure therapy. (time frame: participants will be followed for up to eight weeks). 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 23 Jun 2017.
