Trial Outcomes & Findings for A Study to Assess Efficacy of an Experimental Oral Rinse in Providing Long Term Relief From Dentinal Hypersensitivity (NCT NCT03238352)

NCT ID: NCT03238352

Last Updated: 2018-11-14

Results Overview

The examiner assessed the participant's response to an evaporative air stimulus for each tooth using the Schiff Sensitivity Scale which was scored as follows - 0: Participant did not respond to air stimulation; 1: Participant responded to air stimulus but does not request discontinuation of stimulus; 2: Participant responded to air stimulus and requested discontinuation or moves from stimulus; 3: Participant responded to stimulus, considered stimulus to be painful, and requested discontinuation of the stimulus. A reduction in Schiff Sensitivity score will be indicative of an improvement in sensitivity.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Week 8

Population: The Intent-to-Treat (ITT) (N=85) population comprised of all randomized participants who received at least 1 dose of study treatment and had at least 1 post-baseline efficacy evaluation. This population was based on the treatment to which the participant was randomized.

The examiner assessed the participant's response to an evaporative air stimulus for each tooth using the Schiff Sensitivity Scale which was scored as follows - 0: Participant did not respond to air stimulation; 1: Participant responded to air stimulus but does not request discontinuation of stimulus; 2: Participant responded to air stimulus and requested discontinuation or moves from stimulus; 3: Participant responded to stimulus, considered stimulus to be painful, and requested discontinuation of the stimulus. A reduction in Schiff Sensitivity score will be indicative of an improvement in sensitivity.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Week 8

Population: The ITT (N=85) population included all participants who were randomized received at least one dose of investigational product and had at least one post-baseline efficacy evaluation. This population was based on the treatment to which the participant was randomized.

The examiner assessed the response to tactile sensitivity using a Yeaple probe which allowed the application of a known force to the dentin surface, starting at 10 grams (g) and rising in increments of 10g until the tactile threshold or maximum force was reached. The tactile threshold for each tooth was determined by asking the participant whether the sensation caused discomfort. The pressure setting at which the participant gave two consecutive 'yes' responses was recorded as the tactile threshold. The higher the tactile threshold, the less sensitive the tooth. At baseline, the maximum force used was 20g; at all subsequent visits, it was 80g.
