Trial summary

It is hypothesised that the adhesion of electrodes and acceptability of the Electrocardiogram (ECG) trace is comparable between the two groups (marketed and test products) after 30 minutes (the intended period of use) of the electrodes. Read more about this study

About this study

It is hypothesised that the adhesion of electrodes and acceptability of the Electrocardiogram (ECG) trace is comparable between the two groups (marketed and test products) after 30 minutes (the intended period of use) of the electrodes.

Being tested
Marketed electrode, Modified "test" electrode

What participants receive

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

  • Marketed electrodeDevice

    12 electrodes will be placed on the subject for an ECG reading to be taken

  • Modified "test" electrodeDevice

    12 electrodes with modified adhesive will be placed on the subject to allow an ECG reading to be taken

What is being measured

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

  1. Product Performance : Remain in place

    Ability to remain in place for a duration of 30 minutes (as per intended use)

    Measured: 30 minutes

  2. Product Performance: Perform

    Ability of the electrodes to perform after a duration of 30 minutes of wear (ECG tracing) as per intended use.

    Measured: 30 minutes

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Safety: Adverse Events

    Safety will be evaluated by the nature and frequency of adverse events, (including condition of the skin under the electrodes using the Skin Irritation Scale (Appendix 4)) and ease of removal

    Measured: 2 days

  2. Skin Rating

    Condition of the skin under the electrodes using the Skin Irritation Scale

    Measured: 2 days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Marketed electrode and Modified "test" electrode in people with Healthy Subjects, run by ConvaTec Inc..

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 4 inclusion and 5 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 4 May 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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?

Product Performance : Remain in place (time frame: 30 minutes). The study lists 2 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 4 May 2012.
