About this study

Official title: A Photo-irritation and Photo-sensitisation Study in Healthy Subjects for Three Developmental Cosmetic Facial Products

The purpose of this study is to demonstrate the absence of sensitisation and irritation potential of a product when applied to the skin and exposed to ultraviolet (UV) radiation. Photo-sensitisation potential will primarily be evaluated through a subsequent semi-occluded application and UV exposure (challenge phase) after a 2-week rest period. Photo-irritation potential will primarily be evaluated through the repeated occluded application and UV exposure of the study products over 3 weeks (induction phase).

Read the detailed description

A single-center, randomised, evaluator (single) blind study in healthy adult participants aged 18 to 65 years with no dermatological disorders to evaluate the cutaneous photo- irritation and photo-sensitisation potential of three cosmetic facial skincare products. During Screening (Visit 1), the participants will sign an informed consent, will undergo dermatological assessment to ensure they have no dermatoses on their dorsum that might impact their safety, Fitzpatrick Phototype of II to IV and colorimetry analysis of their skin type using the Individual Typology Angle, which will be used to estimate minimal erythemal dose (MED). At Visit 2, the eligible participants will undergo MED irradiation where the participant will be administered a series of 6 controlled doses of UV radiation. At Visit 3, the participants will undergo MED determination, where a trained evaluator will evaluate the exposed skin to determine the lowest dose of UV radiation required to induce uniform, unambiguous erythema for signs of visible erythema. Further, the study will progress in 3-phases: Induction phase, Rest Phase and Challenge Phase. The Induction phase (3 weeks: Visit 4 to Visit 18); at visit 4, the area for applying 2 consecutive patches will be designated between the scapula and waistline. A controlled amount (0.02 mL/cm^2) of each study product will be randomly assigned within the patch system of each participant into the appropriate separate cell (3 cells for each of the test products and 1 cell for the saline solution). Every Monday, patch sites will be evaluated, 2 patches will be applied, post 24 hours (Tuesday) the patches will be removed, patch sites can be cleaned, patch sites will be evaluated, test products/ saline will be re-applied and 1 of the 2 sites will be irradiated with 2.5 Joules per centimetre square UVA radiation with a Schott UG11+WG335 filter (or equivalent) in place, and then with 0.3 MEDs of UVA+UVB radiation (filters UG11+WG320). The sites will be assessed immediately after irradiation and 24 hours post irradiation (Wednesday) and duplicate patches will be re-applied as applied on Monday. Same procedure will be repeated on Thursday as done on Tuesday and on Friday the patch sites will be evaluated. The same process will continue for 3 consecutive weeks. Then there will be 2 weeks of Rest phase; where there will be no product or patch applications. Rest phase is further followed by Challenge phase at week 6 (Visit 19 to Visit 23) where there will be a duplicate parallel series of product applications under semi-occlusive patches to 2 naïve areas on Monday. Post 24 hours (Tuesday) patches will be removed and 1 of the 2 sites will be irradiated similar as done in induction phase. The sites will be assessed immediately post irradiation and after 24 hours (Tuesday), 48 hours (Wednesday) and 72 hours (Thursday) of irradiation. At visit 23, after the challenge phase the final assessments will be performed by the dermatologist.

What is being measured

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

  1. Percentage of Participants With Photo-initiated Potential Sensitization Reaction

    Scoring of patch test reactions was performed by blind evaluator as per International Contact Dermatitis Research Group (ICDRG) grading '- to +++',where '-':negative reaction;'?+':doubtful reaction(faint erythema only),'+':weak(non-vesicular) positive reaction(erythema, infiltration and possibly papules);'++':strong(vesicular) positive reaction (erythema,infiltration,papules,vesicles); '+++':extreme positive reaction (bullous reaction, intense erythema and infiltration, coalescing vesicles).Score range '- to +++' where '-' indicated no adverse reaction and '+++' indicated very strong adverse reaction.Any positive reaction ('+' or greater):considered potential sensitization(PS) upon dermatologist discretion and as potential photo-initiated if a)positive reaction occur at ultraviolet (UV) exposed site,b)occur at both UV and non-UV sites with maximum score at UV exposed site being higher than non-UV exposed site.Percentage of participants with photo-initiated PS were reported in numbers.

    Measured: Day 40

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Percentage of Participants With a Photo-initiated Reaction (Score of '+' or Greater) Which is Not Considered Potential Sensitization Reaction

    Scoring of patch test reactions was performed by blind evaluator as per ICDRG grading '- to +++', where '-':negative reaction; '?+':doubtful reaction(faint erythema only),'+':weak(non-vesicular) positive reaction(erythema, infiltration and possibly papules);'++':strong(vesicular) positive reaction (erythema, infiltration, papules, vesicles);'+++':extreme positive reaction (bullous reaction, intense erythema and infiltration, coalescing vesicles).Score range '- to +++' where '-' indicated no adverse reaction and '+++' indicated very strong adverse reaction.Any positive reaction ('+' or greater) was classified as photo-initiated if a) a positive reaction occurs only at UV exposed site,b) occur at both UV and non-UV site with maximum score at UV exposed site being higher than maximum score at non-UV exposed site. Percentage of participants with any photo-initiated reaction (score of '+' or greater) without potential sensitisation were reported in form of numbers.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Serum, Lotion and Cream in people with Skin Care, run by GlaxoSmithKline at 1 site in Brazil.

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 28 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 13 Aug 2021. 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 Brazil. 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.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 2 Nov 2020). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

What does the primary outcome measure?

Percentage of Participants With Photo-initiated Potential Sensitization Reaction (time frame: Day 40). 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 13 Aug 2021.
