What participants receive

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

  • Test product ADevice

    one new adhesive material which is applied to the baseplate and the subjects peristomal skin

    Already CE- marked product as a comparator which is applied to the baseplate and the subjects peristomal skin

Study groups in NCT04544566
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Test product A new adhesive materialExperimentalThe adhesives in the ostomy tapes are developed to make the tape seal to the skin and thereby minimise the risk of leakage episodes. At the same time, the tape should be easy to remove without affecting the skin.

What is being measured

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

  1. Mean Adherent Area Measured by Photo of Used Tape

    The adherent area (cm2) measured per baseplate change after use shows how effectively the ostomy tape adheres to the skin. After removal of the ostomy tape, a photo of the tape was taken. The adherent area was measured from the photo and an image analysing program.

    Measured: Tapestrips per test product were removed from the baseplate at each product change and saved for the next site visit every 7-9 days for evaluation

Secondary outcomes (7)
  1. Erythema Measured After Each Treatment Period by Spectrophotometric Method

    A change in the surface skin colour is known to be related to a change in the blood flow. This can be measured non-invasively with a spectrophotometric instrument (Derma-spectrophotometer, Cortex Technology A/S, Hadsund) where redness of the skin is measured. The measurement of erythema is based on an active color detecting chip. Illumination is provided by two high intensity white LEDs. The spectrophotometer accommodates the color sensor, filters, optics and light source. Light is provided by two high intensity with LEDs and a unique feature is the guiding light, which illuminates the target during the positioning of the device. The LEDs illuminates the target area and the skin color measurement is performed. The measurements performed with the spectrophotometric instrument do not have units. But the measures are used for the estimation of the level of the redness (hemoglobin) in the skin. The higher the value, the more pigment in the skin.

    Measured: The measurements were carried out after 7-9 days of treatment with the test tape

  2. Erythema Measured After Tape Removal by Photos

    A change in the surface skin colour is known to be related to a change in the blood flow. This can be measured non-invasively with a spectrophotometric instrument (Derma-spectrophotometer, Cortex Technology A/S, Hadsund) where both the redness and the colour of the skin are measured. Furthermore, visual assessments of photos have been used in several exploratory clinical investigations by Coloplast A/S to explore how adhesives affect the skin. The visual assessment is conducted by trained personnel and is a valuable tool for assessing newly developed adhesives and their impact on skin in the early development phases.

    Measured: The measurements were carried out after 7-9 days of treatment with the test tape

  3. Feeling of Security

    Subjects will be asked how they rate feeling of security ("How was the feeling of security?) on a five point scale, when wearing the tape; 1. Very Poor, 2. Poor, 3. Acceptable, 4. Good, 5. Very Good.

    Measured: The evaluation was carried out after 7-9 days of treatment with the test tape

  4. Adhesion of Tape

    Subjects will be asked how they perceive the immediate adhesion to the skin ("how was the immediate adhesion to the skin?) and rate adhesion on a five-point scale: 1. Very poor, 2. Poor, 3. Acceptable, 4. Good, 5. Very good.

    Measured: The evaluation was carried out after 7-9 days of treatment with the test tape

  5. Comfort

    Subjects will be asked how they perceived the comfort of the tape ("How comfortable was the tape to wear?") and rate comfort on a 5-pont scale; 1. very discomfortable, 2. Discomfortable, 3. Acceptable, 4. Comfortable, 5. Very comfortable.

    Measured: The evaluation was carried out after 7-9 days of treatment with the test tape

  6. Skin Issues in the Area Covered by the Tape

    Subjects will be asked if they had any skin-related complications in the area covered by the tape (yes, no).

    Measured: The evaluation was carried out after 7-9 days of treatment with the test tape

  7. Adverse Events

    All Adverse Events are captured and documented throughout the study.

    Measured: 27 days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Test product A, Test product B and Comparator in people with Stoma Site Leakage, run by Coloplast A/S at 1 site in Denmark.

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 7 inclusion and 4 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 May 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 Denmark. 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. 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 6 May 2021). 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?

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?

Mean Adherent Area Measured by Photo of Used Tape (time frame: Tapestrips per test product were removed from the baseplate at each product change and saved for the next site visit every 7-9 days for evaluation). 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 May 2021.
