About this study

The purpose of this study is to determine if a topical, adhesive patch (PeriZone PerioPatch) applied to the gums after a deep tooth cleaning (scaling and root planing) reduces the signs of advanced gum disease (chronic periodontitis) more than the deep tooth cleaning alone. Eighty patients with advanced gum disease will be recruited and treated within this clinical trial. Patients will be evaluated for changes in gum measurements over a 12-week period.

Read the detailed description

Objectives: 1) to evaluate the efficacy of PeriZone PerioPatch (FDA approved device, 510K number K103054) in reducing pocket depth (PD) in subjects with moderate to severe chronic periodontitis; and 2) to assess the effect of PeriZone PerioPatch on secondary clinical outcomes associated with chronic periodontitis including bleeding on probing (BOP), clinical attachment level (CAL), Gingival Index (GI) and Plaque Index (PI).

Participants: A total of 80 participants with generalized moderate to severe chronic periodontitis will be recruited for this clinical trial.

Trial Design: This study is a multicenter, randomized, single blind, and controlled design trial with two parallel arms. The 2 arms of the study are:

  • Arm A - Scaling and root planing plus PeriZone PerioPatch;
  • Arm B - Scaling and root planing alone (control group).

Procedures (methods): After potential patients have been screened, informed consent forms are signed, and patients have completed the remaining screening evaluations, each patient will be randomized to a treatment group. Patients must present with generalized, moderate to severe chronic periodontitis defined as having at least two periodontal pockets measuring 6 mm or more and bleeding on probing (at Baseline).

Periodontal probing measurements (PD, CAL, GI and PI) will be performed at Baseline (prior to randomization), and at Weeks 4, 8 and 12. All subjects will receive scaling and root planing (full mouth during at most 2 sessions within two weeks following the Baseline exam). Thereafter, PeriZone PerioPatch will be dispensed to subjects per randomization for administration over the trial period (i.e., Days 1-6; Days 14-20; Days 28-30; Days 42-44). Intraoral soft tissue inspection will be performed at Screening, Baseline and at Weeks 4, 8 and 12. Adverse event collection will be performed at Weeks 4, 8 and 12. Compliance will be will be evaluated via collection of unused study devices.

Analysis Plan: Baseline and demographic data will be summarized by treatment. Adverse events and safety outcomes will be categorized by treatment and summarized with descriptive statistics. Changes in probing depths, bleeding scores, clinical attachment levels Gingival Index and Plaque Index scores (from Baseline) will be expressed as means per subjects and tested for inter-group differences using nonparametric rank analysis of covariance.

What participants receive

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

  • PeriZone PerioPatchDevice

    The PeriZone PerioPatch is an approved barrier or device product intended for the management of all types of oral wounds, injuries and ulcerations of the gingival and oral mucosa (510K number K103054). PerioPatch devices will be applied adjunctively following scaling and root planing).

  • Scaling and root planing aloneProcedure or surgery

    Following completion of the Baseline examination, all randomized patients will receive full mouth scaling and root planing at a maximum of two visits within a 14-day time period (Weeks -2 to 0). Use of hand curettes and/or ultrasonic instruments will be permitted. Local or topical anesthesia may be used for patient comfort at the discretion of the clinician performing the scaling and root planing.

Study groups in NCT01808703
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Scaling and root planing plus PerioPatchExperimentalAll subjects in this group will receive scaling and root planing (full mouth during no more than 2 sessions within two weeks following the Baseline exam). Thereafter, PeriZone PerioPatch will be dispensed to subjects per randomization for administration over the trial period. Subjects will apply study patches (i.e., BID on Days 1, 28 and 42; QD on Days 2-6; Days 14-20, 29-30 and 43-44) to designated "treatment sites" (i.e., measuring 6 mm or more in pocket depth at Baseline).

What is being measured

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

  1. Change in pocket depth (PD)from Baseline

    PD will be measured from the free gingival margin to the base of the pocket and will be recorded in whole millimeters (mm). If a PD reading falls between two millimeter readings, the rule shall be to round down and the lower of the two readings will be recorded. All sites with PD of 5 mm or more will have two PD readings recorded (multiple-pass probing measurements) per examination time point. The average of the two PD readings will be the basis for deciding whether the site qualifies for treatment (average of two PD readings of 6 mm or more) at Baseline and the response to treatment (Weeks 4, 8 and 12).

    Measured: At 4, 8 and 12 weeks

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Change in clinical attachment level (CAL) from Baseline

    CAL will be measured as the linear distance from the cemento-enamel junction (CEJ) to base of the pocket in mm. The examining clinician will measure CAL directly or indirectly (PD - recession). If a CAL reading falls between two millimeter readings, the rule shall be to round down and the lower of the two readings will be recorded.

    Measured: At 4, 8 and 12 weeks

  2. Change in percent bleeding on probing (BOP) from Baseline

    Presence or absence of bleeding to manual probing recorded as a dichotomous variable as follows: 0 - No bleeding within 10 seconds after probing; 1 -Bleeding within 10 seconds after probing.

    Measured: At 4, 8 and 12 weeks

  3. Change in Gingival Index (GI) from Baseline

    Degree of gingival inflammation recorded on an ordinal scale of 0-3 as follows (Loe \& Silness, 1963): 0- Normal gingiva; 1 - Mild inflammation (slight change in color, slight edema); no bleeding on palpation (i.e., sulcular sweep); 2 - Moderate inflammation (redness, edema, glazing); bleeding on palpation (i.e., sulcular sweep); 3 - Severe inflammation (i.e., marked redness, edema); ulceration, tendency to spontaneous bleeding.

    Measured: At 4, 8 and 12 weeks

  4. Change in Plaque Index (PI) from Baseline

    Relative amount of supragingival plaque recorded on an ordinal scale of 0-3 as follows (Silness \& Loe, 1964: 0 - No plaque in the gingival area; 1 - A film of plaque adhering to the free gingival margin and the adjacent tooth. The plaque may be recognized only by running a probe across the tooth surface; 2 - Moderate accumulation of soft deposits within the gingival pocket and on the gingival margin and/or adjacent tooth surface, which can be seen by the naked eye; 3 - Abundance of soft matter within the gingival pocket and/or on the gingival margin and the adjacent tooth surface.

    Measured: At 4, 8 and 12 weeks

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 6 inclusion and 10 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 11 Mar 2013. 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.

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact David W Paquette, DMD, DMSc ((631) 624-5937, david.paquette@stonybrook.edu), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Change in pocket depth (PD)from Baseline (time frame: At 4, 8 and 12 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 11 Mar 2013.
