About this study

Official title: A Prospective Multi-Center Blinded, Randomized, Controlled Clinical Trial Comparing the Efficacy of Provodine Topical Body Wash Versus 10% Benzoyl Peroxide Topical Body Wash for the Treatment of Hidradenitis Suppurativa

The purpose of this study is to compare the efficacy of Provodine™ topical cream to 10% benzoyl peroxide topical body wash for the treatment of early stage hidradenitis suppurativa.

Read the detailed description

Hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) is a chronic, recurrent inflammatory disease of the skin. It typically manifests as nodules and abscesses that ultimately can progress to form deep sinus tracts, fistulas, and scarring. It affects areas of the body with apocrine gland bearing tissue, including the anogenital, axillary and inframammary regions. The lesions are often very painful and can chronically drain malodorous fluid, which can leave affected individuals uncomfortable and self-conscious, or even debilitated. The pathogenesis of this disease process is not fully understood, and the HS can be difficult to treat. Measures such as topical antibiotic and antiseptic washes are generally thought to be beneficial for the treatment of early stage HS. Although there have been no controlled trials for the treatment of HS, commonly used topical washes currently include benzoyl peroxide and chlorhexidine gluconate.

Provodine™ topical cream was designed to actively kill microbes on the skin for up to 6 hours without resulting in the irritation often associated with repetitive use of antimicrobial products. A blinded controlled comparison of Provodine™ versus the current standard of benzoyl peroxide wash will not only allow for an alternative treatment for early stage HS but also provide an additional tool in the arsenal of treatments for this disease process.

What is being measured

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

  1. Hidradenitis Suppurativa European Research Group (HISERG) scale

    Assessment of the degree of involvement of HS will be performed at each study visit using the Hidradenitis Suppurativa European Research Group (HISERG) scale outlined below:

    1. Anatomical region involved (axilla, groin, gluteal or other region or inframammary region left and/or right: 3 points per region involved).
    2. Number and scores of lesions (abscesses, nodules, fistulas, scars: points per lesion of all regions involved: nodules 2, fistulas 4, scars 1, others 1)
    3. The longest distance between two relevant lesions, i.e., nodules and fistulas, in each region, or size if only one lesion (<5cm 2, <10cm 4, >10cm 8)
    4. Are all lesions clearly separated by normal skin? In each region (yes 0/no 6)
    5. Extent of erythema, edema, pain and purulent discharge of each anatomic site (0-3 for each clinical indicator)

    Measured: 4 months

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Skin Irritation Index

    Subjects will be evaluated weekly for any signs or symptoms of local skin irritation by a study physician using the following Skin Irritation Index scoring system, which includes ratings for erythema, edema, scaling and dryness, rash and discomfort.

    Measured: 4 months

  2. Patient reported Quality of Life Scores on the Dermatology Quality of Life Index and the Skindex-20

    Measured: 4 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing 10% Benzoyl Peroxide Topical Body Wash and Provodine Topical Cream in people with Hidradenitis Suppurativa, run by Henry Ford Health System at 1 site 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 8 inclusion and 7 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 16 Feb 2022. 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 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.

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?

Hidradenitis Suppurativa European Research Group (HISERG) scale (time frame: 4 months). 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 16 Feb 2022.
