About this study

Official title: Randomized Double-Blind Controlled Clinical Trial Comparing Sodium Hypochlorite Antiseptic to Normal Saline in Reducing Bioburden in Wounds

The study is a randomized double-blind controlled clinical trial designed to compare the ability of NaOCl to NSS in the reduction of bacterial burden in nonhealing acute and chronic wounds.

Read the detailed description

The study is a randomized double-blind controlled clinical trial designed to compare the ability of NaOCl to NSS in the reduction of bacterial burden in nonhealing acute and chronic wounds. Using the generally accepted surrogate endpoint of surface area reduction at 4 weeks, the study will also compare the healing of subjects utilizing NaOCl vs. NSS.

After consenting, the ulcers of eligible subjects are measured, photographed and undergo the MolecuLight imaging procedure (MiX). The subject is then randomized to one of two arms: target ulcer cleansed with NaOCl or NSS. After cleansing the wound a second MiX is performed. The subject is given a four-week supply of either NaOCl or NSS.

Being tested
AnaSept®, NSS

What participants receive

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

  • AnaSept®Device

    Also called ANTISEPTIC

    AnaSept® AnaSept® Antimicrobial Skin and Wound Cleanser is a clear liquid consisting of 0.057% sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl) in an isotonic saline. It has a broad-spectrum of antimicrobial action inhibiting the growth of Staphlyococcus aureus, Psuedomonas aeruginosa, Escherichia coli, Proteus mirabilis, Serratia marcescens, Clostridium difficile, including antibiotic resistant Methicillin Resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), Vancomycin Resistant Enterococcus faecalis (VRE), Carbapenem Resistant E.coli (CRE) and Acinetobacter baumannii, that are commonly found in wound bed as well as fungi such as Candida albicans and Aspergillus niger. However, NaOCL is non-toxic to mammalian cells.

What is being measured

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

  1. Reduction in bacterial bioburden

    The reduction in bacterial bioburden as determined by the MolecuLight Procedure (MiX) between normal saline (NSS) and sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl) wound washing.

    Measured: 4 weeks

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Healing rate

    The effect on healing (surface area reduction) at a surrogate endpoint of 4 weeks between wounds washed with NaOCl vs wounds washed with NSS.

    Measured: 4 weeks

  2. Pain Score (PEG)

    PEG Scale Assessing Pain Intensity and Interference (Pain, Enjoyment, General Activity) The difference in pain scores (PEG) between subjects treated with NaOCl vs, NSS.It consists of three 1-10 rating scales: numerical, enjoyment of life and general activity.

    The subject indicates a numerical value that best represents the pain intensity at ulcer site on a scale of 0 to 10 anchored by word descriptors at each end, as "no pain" on the left side and "Pain as bad as you can imagine" on the right side of the number line. The number 0 represents "no pain", the number 5 represents "moderate pain" and the number 10 represents the "worst possible pain".

    Measured: 4 weeks

  3. Adverse Events

    The difference in adverse events between subjects treated with NaOCl vs, NSS

    Measured: 4 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing AnaSept® and NSS in people with Chronic Wounds and Acute Wounds, run by SerenaGroup, Inc. at 1 site in United States.

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 3 inclusion and 2 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 14 Mar 2022. 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 United States. 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?

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?

Reduction in bacterial bioburden (time frame: 4 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 14 Mar 2022.
