Trial Outcomes & Findings for Study on Adhesion Properties of Three Different Adhesives (NCT NCT04125797)

NCT ID: NCT04125797

Last Updated: 2026-07-22

Results Overview

Did the adhesive stay attached to the skin for 72 hours (Yes/No). For the adhesive to be considered attached (yes) more than 75% adherence should be achieved. Rate of adhesion on a 5-point scale (no lift off the skin to detached and completely off the skin) 0 = ≥90% adhered (essentially no lift off the skin). 1. = ≥75% to \<90% adhered (only some edges lift off the skin). 2. = ≥50% to \<75% adhered (less than half lifts off the skin). 3. = \>0% to \< 50% adhered (more than half lifts off the skin without falling off). 4. = 0% adhered (detached and is completely off the skin). A worst-case scenario was used, i.e. the least favourable, score of the two scores (there are two scores as there are two adhesives of each type on every subject) for each type of adhesive.

Participant Flow

This clinical investigation was a single centre, double blinded, case control study in healthy adult females. The investigation centre enrolled 39 subjects within one month. The three (3) types adhesive were randomly placed on subject's trunk. Each study participant will test two patches of each of three different experimental adhesives. Six patches in total. One set of each adhesive will be placed on the right side of the trunk while another set will be placed on the left side of the trunk.
