About this study
Official title: Comparing Dry to Very Dry and Cracked Foot Skin Between Diabetic and Non-diabetic Subjects and the Effects of Two Cosmetic leave-on Foot Products: an Exploratory Study
The overall aims of this study are to compare the structure and function of dry to very dry and cracked foot skin between diabetic and nondiabetic subjects and to evaluate the effects of two cosmetic leave-on products on dry and fissured diabetic foot skin.
Specific issues are:
Are there any differences between the morphological and functional characteristics of dry to very dry and cracked skin foot between diabetic and nondiabetic subjects? What are the effects of a 4-week once daily application of an intensive care foot ointment (urea 10% foot ointment) or foot lotion (10% Urea foot lotion) on the skin barrier and on clinical signs of dryness and fissures?
Read the detailed description
A long existing diabetes mellitus type II is often associated with a number of skin changes. Xerosis Cutis is the most common skin alteration. The risk of diabetics of developing a foot ulcer is estimated to be 15%. Very dry and cracked skin represents an additional risk factor, so that adequate skin care is a widely recommended intervention in diabetic patients. But there are only few studies investigating the skin barrier structure and function in diabetic patients. Available study results seem to suggest, that for instance sebum content, stratum corneum hydration, and pH are associated with Diabetes mellitus.

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Change from Baseline in Overall Dry Skin Score
Clinical assessment of the presence or severity of skin dryness using a 7 point scale at the sole of the foot (randomized). A score of '0' indicated normal skin/no sign of dryness, whereas a score of '6' indicates large-scale plates, deep erythematous fissures and cracks
Measured: Baseline; Day 28±2
Secondary outcomes (1)
Skin barrier
Transepidermal water loss: Measurement using the Tewameter®
Three replicate measurements; according to the Technical Procedures G01_A1_V01 g/m2/h
Measured: Day 0, Day 14±1,Day 28±2

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?
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?
Change from Baseline in Overall Dry Skin Score (time frame: Baseline; Day 28±2). 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 16 Sep 2021.
