About this study

Official title: Effectiveness and Safety Comparison Between Moisturizers Containing Low Molecular Weight Hyaluronic Acid, High Molecular Weight Hyaluronic Acid, and Vehicle on Skin Hydration in the Elderly With Xerotic Skin

The goal of this clinical trial is to compare 0,1% topical low molecular weight (7 kDa) hyaluronic acid with 0,1% high molecular weight (1.800 kDa) hyaluronic acid as therapy of xerotic skin in elderly

Read the detailed description

This clinical trial is conducted to compare the effectiveness and safety between moisturizers containing 0,1% low molecular weight hyaluronic acid, 0,1% high molecular weight hyaluronic acid, and its vehicle on skin hydration of elderly with xerotic skin. It is designed to answer following questions:

  1. Is the skin capacitance in the elderly after using moisturizers containing low molecular weight hyaluronic acid higher than high molecular weight hyaluronate acid and vehicle?
  2. Is the transepidermal water loss in the elderly after using moisturizers containing high molecular weight hyaluronic acid lower than low molecular weight hyaluronate acid and vehicle?
  3. Is the dry skin score (SRRC) in the elderly after using moisturizers containing low molecular weight hyaluronic acid lower than high molecular weight hyaluronate acid and vehicle?
  4. Is there any difference in occurence of side effect in elderly between the use of moisturizers containing low molecular weight hyaluronic acid, high molecular weight hyaluronic acid, and vehicle?
Conditions
Xerosis Cutis
Being tested
Low molecular weight hyaluronic acid, High molecular weight hyaluronic acid, Vehicle

What is being measured

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

  1. Skin capacitance

    Skin capacitance is measured by Corneometer CM825

    Measured: 2 weeks and 4 weeks

  2. Transepidermal water loss

    Transepidermal water loss is measured by Tewameter TM300

    Measured: 2 weeks and 4 weeks

  3. Specified symptom sum score/scale, roughness, redness, crack (SRRC)

    Evaluation of squama/scale, roughness, redness, and crack of the skin, with a value range of 0-16. Higher values mean worse outcome

    Measured: 2 weeks and 4 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Low molecular weight hyaluronic acid and High molecular weight hyaluronic acid in people with Xerosis Cutis, run by Universitas Indonesia at 1 site in Indonesia.

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 3 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 30 Apr 2024. 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 Indonesia. 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.

What does this phase mean?

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?

Skin capacitance (time frame: 2 weeks and 4 weeks). The study lists 3 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 NCT06178367, which also lists 3 linked publications.

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 30 Apr 2024.
