Show all 23Show fewer
  • Subjects who underwent oral surgery within 14 days prior to Screening;
  • Subjects who used antiseptic mouth rinse within 14 days prior to Screening;
  • Subjects wearing orthodontic appliances and removable dentures (Wire-retainers after orthodontic treatment are allowed);

  • Subjects who have a known hypersensitivity or allergy to the test product and its ingredients or to medications that have a similar chemical structure;
  • Participation of the subject in another clinical study within the last 4 weeks before enrolment in and during this study;
  • Incapability of assessing essence and possible consequences of the study (e.g. alcoholism);
  • Pregnant or breastfeeding women;
  • Women with childbearing potential except those who fulfill one of the following criteria:
  • Post-menopausal (12 months of natural amenorrhea or 6 months of amenorrhea with serum follicle-stimulating hormone [FSH] >40 U/ml);
  • Postoperative (6 weeks after bilateral ovariectomy with or without hysterectomy);
  • Continuous and correct application of a highly effective contraception method with a Pearl Index <1% (e.g. implants, depots, oral contraceptives, intrauterine device [IUD]);
  • Sexual abstinence; whereas sexual abstinence is considered a highly effective method only if defined as refraining from heterosexual intercourse during the entire period of risk associated with the study treatments. The reliability of sexual abstinence needs to be evaluated in relation to the duration of the clinical trial and the preferred and usual lifestyle of the subject;
  • Confirmation of vasectomy of the sexual partner;
  • Evidence suggesting that the subject is not likely to follow the study protocol (e.g. lacking compliance).

About this study

Official title: Randomized, Placebo-controlled, Parallel Group, Double-blind, Multi-center Phase III Study to Assess the Inhibition of Plaque Formation of 0.1% Octenidine Mouthwash vs Placebo in Subjects With a Gingival Index ≤1.5

The objective of the study is to demonstrate the superiority of 0.1% octenidine mouthwash (Octenidin Mundspüllösung, OML) to placebo (PLAC) in the inhibition of plaque formation. The study will consist of a 14-day screening period and a 5-day treatment period.

What is being measured

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

  1. Total mean PI (Plaque index according to Silness and Löe) after 5 days of treatment at Visit 2

    The total mean PI is the sum of the individual scores divided by the number of investigated sites.

    Measured: after 5 days of treatment

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Bacterial count reduction in saliva after a single administration of OML vs placebo

    Bacterial count in saliva will be assessed prior to the first administration of study medication and 1 min after the first administration

    Measured: after 1 minute of rinsing

  2. Change in total mean GI (Gingival Index according to Löe, 1967) from Visit 1 to Visit 2

    The total mean GI is the sum of the individual scores divided by the number of investigated sites. The GI for each tooth is the sum of the 4 individual scores divided by 4.

    Measured: baseline and after 5 days of treatment

  3. Incidence and severity of AEs (adverse events)

    Measured: 5 days

  4. Incidence of SAEs (serious adverse events)

    Measured: 15 days

  5. Change in tooth discoloration index from Visit 1 to Visit 2

    Measured: baseline and after 5 days of treatment

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Octenidinedihydrochlorid in people with Inhibition of Plaque Formation (by Gingivitis-Index ≤1.5), run by Schülke & Mayr GmbH at 3 sites in 2 countries.

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 5 inclusion and 23 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 6 Nov 2018. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 3 sites in Germany, Austria. 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 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?

Total mean PI (Plaque index according to Silness and Löe) after 5 days of treatment at Visit 2 (time frame: after 5 days of treatment). 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 6 Nov 2018.
