Trial summary

The primary objectives of this study are to identify positivity rates to three novel surfactants (ingredients used in soaps, detergents, and other cleansers that serve to lower the surface tension of the skin and remove debris) and co-reactivity with other surfactants in patients with known surfactant sensitivity on… Read more about this study

About this study

The primary objectives of this study are to identify positivity rates to three novel surfactants (ingredients used in soaps, detergents, and other cleansers that serve to lower the surface tension of the skin and remove debris) and co-reactivity with other surfactants in patients with known surfactant sensitivity on skin patch testing. The investigators hypothesize that subjects who previously tested positive to known allergenic surfactants (cocamidopropyl betaine, stearamidopropyl dimethylamine, dimethylaminopropylamine, coconut diethanolamide, oleamidopropyl dimethylamine, and decyl glucoside) may demonstrate co-reactivity to the three novel surfactant sensitizers (sodium lauroyl sarcosinate, isostearmidopropyl morpholine lactate, and disodium lauroamphodiacetate) on skin patch testing.

What is being measured

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

  1. Number of participants with positive skin patch test reaction, scored using the North American Contact Dermatitis Group (NACDG) criteria, to three novel surfactant antigens.

    NACDG Scoring as follows: 6=no reaction, 4=doubtful (faint erythema with no induration), 1= mild (erythema, induration, +/- papules), 2=moderate (erythema, induration, papules, vesicles), 3=severe (intense erythema, induration, coalescing vesicles, bullae, spreading), and 5= irritant.

    Measured: Five days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Skin patch test in people with Allergic Contact Dermatitis, run by Minneapolis Veterans Affairs Medical Center.

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 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 26 Sep 2016. 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.

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?

Number of participants with positive skin patch test reaction, scored using the North American Contact Dermatitis Group (NACDG) criteria, to three novel surfactant antigens. (time frame: Five days). 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 26 Sep 2016.
