Trial summary

Periodontitis is one of the most common chronic inflammatory disease with the etiology of bacterial plaque and is associated with a number of putative bacterial species. The periodontal destruction is substantially mediated by the host, driven by the bacterial challenge. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Clinical And Microbiological Analysis Of Orally Administered Lactobacillus Probiotic Lozenges In Chronic Periodontitis Patients Among Smokers And Non-smokers And Its Correlation With Clinical Parameters - A Clinico-Microbiological Study

Periodontitis is one of the most common chronic inflammatory disease with the etiology of bacterial plaque and is associated with a number of putative bacterial species. The periodontal destruction is substantially mediated by the host, driven by the bacterial challenge. The presence of pathogenic bacteria with the absence of so-called "beneficial bacteria" and the susceptibility of the host are the main aetiological factors of periodontal diseases.

Being tested
Lactobacillus brevis CD2 Lozenges

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Lactobacillus brevis CD2 Lozenges in people with Chronic Periodontitis, run by Next Gen Pharma India Pvt. Ltd. at 1 site in India.

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 4 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 10 Jan 2017. 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 India. 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 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?

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?

Improvement in Clinical Periodontal Indices (time frame: 8 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 10 Jan 2017.
