About this study

Official title: A Randomized, Double-blind, Single Center, Intra-individual Comparison Study With Repeated Application to Assess the Wound-healing Efficacy of a 5% Dexpanthenol Ointment Compared With Placebo in Patients With Superficial, Abrasive Wounds

The objective of the study was to investigate the efficacy of Bepanthen® wound healing ointment compared to placebo in a superficial abrasive wound model. The primary objective was the re-epithelization at Day 5.

The secondary objectives were re-epithelization at Days 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 and 15, assessment of cosmetic outcome/acceptance at Day 15 (investigator only) and at Day 36 (investigator and subject), and documentation and analysis of safety parameters.

What participants receive

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

  • Dexpanthenol (Bepanthen® Wund- und Heilsalbe, BAY81-2996)Drug

    30 g of 5% of the active ingredient dexpanthenol plus other ingredients as ointment

  • PlaceboDrug

    Placebo to Bepanthen® ointment without active ingredient dexpanthenol

Study groupRoleWhat they receive
DexpanthenolExperimentalA squeeze of ointment, approximately 0.5 cm in length corresponding to an amount of about 0.3 g of ointment, which is equal to 15 mg dexpanthenol , twice daily (once in the morning and once in the evening) over a period of 14 days was applied topically under occluded conditions

What is being measured

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

  1. Wound healing effect (=re-epithelization) at Day 5 of the test product and the placebo

    Wound healing effect (=re-epithelization) was determined on the following basis:

    No healing 0% Re-epithelization >0 up to 25% Re-epithelization >25 up to 50% Re-epithelization >50 up to 75% Re-epithelization >75 but not complete Complete closure of surface 100%

    Measured: At Day 5

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Subjective assessment of cosmetic outcome

    It was assessed by using a visual analog scale (VAS) ranging from 0 being poor, 5 being moderate to 10 being excellent

    Measured: At Days 15 and 36

  2. Number of participants with adverse events

    Measured: Approximately 5 weeks per subject

  3. Wound healing at Days 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 and 15 after wound induction

    Measured: At Days 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 and 15

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Dexpanthenol (Bepanthen® Wund- und Heilsalbe, BAY81-2996) in people with Wound Healing, run by Bayer at 1 site in Germany.

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 1 inclusion and 16 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 12 Apr 2016. 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 Germany. 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. 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 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

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?

Wound healing effect (=re-epithelization) at Day 5 of the test product and the placebo (time frame: At Day 5). 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 12 Apr 2016.
