About this study

The objective of this study is to determine the metagenomic and metatranscriptomic analysis of clinical samples.

Read the detailed description

This study is a blinded, non-randomized, crossover design. Subjects who meet the inclusion/exclusion criteria will be enrolled in the study. Following enrollment, subjects will be asked to use a washout dentifrice (#200000035883/001/000) for a minimum of 1 week. Fasting plaque will be collected at Baseline and then again at a duplicate baseline collection up to 1 week after the baseline collection. Subjects will be assigned a new dentifrice (#200000035883/001/000) to use for 12 weeks. After 12 weeks' use, fasting plaque will be collected. There will be a duplicate plaque collection up to 1 week after 12 week collection. Subjects will be given a new dentifrice (#200000040228/001/000) to use for the next 24 weeks. After 24 weeks' use, fasting plaque will be collected, and there will be a duplicate plaque collection up to 1 week after this collection.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Colgate Maximum Cavity Protection plus Sugar Acid Neutralizer and Colgate Cavity Protection in people with Plaque, run by Colgate Palmolive at 1 site in United Kingdom.

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 15 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 1 Dec 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 United Kingdom. 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 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.

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?

DNA (metagenomic) sequences (time frame: 38 weeks). 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?
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 1 Dec 2021.
