About this study

Official title: Indocyanine-mediated Antimicrobial Photodynamic Therapy Promotes Superior Clinical Effects in Stage III and Grade C Chronic Periodontitis Among Different Forms of Diabetes Mellitus: A Randomized Controlled Clinical Trial

With this design, this study hypothesizes that; (i) ICG-PDT would produce superior clinical, microbiological, and immune-inflammatory outcomes as compared to RSD and (ii) ICG-PDT would produce equal efficacy among different forms of diabetes as produced in non-diabetic subjects and that diabetes mellitus would not produce negative impact on the therapeutic outcomes of ICG-PDT. Therefore, the aim of this randomized controlled clinical trial was to evaluate the efficacy of ICG-mediated aPDT in the treatment of stage III grade C periodontitis among patients with prediabetes, T2DM and non-diabetic subjects.

What participants receive

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

  • Indocyanine greenDrug

    Also called Photodynamic therapy

    Single application of PDT will be performed. A diode laser (HELBO®TheraLite - Bredent Medical, Germany) with 670 nm wavelength, power of 150 mW, fluency of 22 J/cm2 and density of 1.1 W/cm2 will be used in this study. Indocyanine-green photosensitizer (Sigm Aldrich, USA) with 0.005% concentration will be used as a photosensitizer which will be applied inside the periodontal pockets in a depth of 3 mm with the help of a blunt needle for 10 s. Laser irradiation will be performed for 60 s using a flexible tip. Laser irradiation will be performed at 2 points each on buccal and lingual with the tip stabilized perpendicular to the gingival tissues.

What is being measured

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

  1. Probing depth

    Probing depth will be measured to the nearest millimeter from the base of the periodontal pocket to the crest of the marginal gingiva.

    Measured: 6 months

  2. Clinical attachment level

    Clinical attachment level will be measured by adding recession with probing depth

    Measured: 6 months

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Plaque scores

    Dichotomous scoring to each site of the tooth as '1 - present' and '0 - absent'

    Measured: 6 months

  2. Bleeding on probing

    Dichotomous scoring to each site of the tooth as '1 - present' and '0 - absent'

    Measured: 6 months

  3. Porphyromonas gingivalis

    Presence or absence of bacteria from the plaque biofilms in the patient

    Measured: 6 months

  4. Interleukin-6

    Proinflammatory cytokine levels that will be quantified in the laboratory.

    Measured: 6 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2/3 study testing Indocyanine green in people with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus and Prediabetic State, run by King Saud University at 1 site in Saudi Arabia.

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 4 inclusion and 1 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 23 Apr 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 Saudi Arabia. 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.

What does this combined phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

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?

Probing depth (time frame: 6 months). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT04857346, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 23 Apr 2021.
