Participant Flow

From January 2010 to November 2011, patients with skin and soft tissue infections, in the form of abscesses, were recruited from Shands Emergency Department at the University of Florida.

The planned sample size was 107 subjects enrolled in each arm. However, during the study, the site rearranged their ED and no longer treated abscesses. As a result, the study was terminated early after enrolling 35 subjects. Of those, 19 were on SoC and 16 were on Irrisept. A total of 30 subjects completed the study, with 12 subjects on Irrisept and 18 on SoC. For the 5 subjects that did not complete the study, 4 were on Irrisept and 1 on SoC.

Measure
Standard of Care (SoC)
For subjects randomized to the control group, Standard of Care (SoC), which was normal saline, was used. SoC consisted of irrigation with normal saline, using the same proprietary abscess irrigation tip as the Irrisept arm. SoC was used at the initial visit and at each subsequent 48-hour visit interval until abscess healing.
Irrisept
For subjects randomized to the investigational group, Irrisept was used. Irrisept contents include the Chlorhexidine Gluconate (CHG) solution, a 450 mL bottle, and Irriprobe applicator or an abscess irrigation tip. The device has an option for use with an Irriprobe applicator or an abscess irrigation tip. Irrisept was used at the initial visit and at each subsequent 48-hour visit interval until abscess healing.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: 24, 48, 72 & 96-hour visit intervals

Population: There were 4 timepoints for assessing abscess wound healing with the use of oral antibiotics: 24, 48, 72 \& 96 hours.

Oral antibiotic use was used to determine if the use of pressurized irrigation with Irrisept in uncomplicated abscesses improved wound healing when compared to pressurized irrigation with SoC (normal saline).

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Abscess wound healing, assessed by wound improvement, was reviewed at the 48-hour visit.

Population: 5 scale units were analyzed. These include: 1 = clinically resolved, no signs of active infection; 2 = markedly improved, resolving infection and healing; 3 = improved with some remaining signs of active infection; 4 = unchanged, stable without signs of worsening clinical infection and; 5 = worsening conditions.

Wound improvement assessments were used to determine if the use of pressurized irrigation with Irrisept in uncomplicated abscesses improved wound healing when compared to pressurized irrigation with SoC (normal saline). Wound improvement was assessed via a clinician's discretion, according to a 5-point Likert scale: 1 = clinically resolved, no signs of active infection; 2 = markedly improved, resolving infection and healing; 3 = improved with some remaining signs of active infection; 4 = unchanged, stable without signs of worsening clinical infection and; 5 = worsening conditions. The results are shown using a chi-squared test, as an average Likert score compared between the 2 arms.

Exudation assessments were used to determine if the use of pressurized irrigation with Irrisept in uncomplicated abscesses improved wound healing when compared to pressurized irrigation with SoC (normal saline). Exudation was assessed via a clinician's discretion, according to a 5-point Likert scale: 1 = none; 2 = scant; 3 = minimal; 4 = moderate and; 5 = copious. The results are shown using a chi-squared test to compare the means at baseline and 48-hours. A two-tailed t-test was conducted for the mean improvement.

Timeframe: Abscess wound healing, assessed by pain, was reviewed at baseline and the 48-hour visit.

Pain assessments were used to determine if the use of pressurized irrigation with Irrisept in uncomplicated abscesses improved wound healing when compared to pressurized irrigation with SoC (normal saline). Pain was assessed using a Visual Analogue Scale (VAS). The scale was measured in centimeters (cm) which ranged between 0 cm ("no pain" at the far left) to 9.5 cm ("most severe pain" at the far right). Subjects marked their pain rating on the scale with an "X". The distance from the beginning of the scale (far left) to the "X" was measured in cm. The mean VAS score was assessed at baseline and at the 48-hour follow-up visit. The overall mean improvement was compared between the 2 arms using two-tailed t-tests.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: The need for oral antibiotics, assessed by erythema, was reviewed at baseline and the 48-hour visit.

Erythema was assessed to determine if the use of Irrisept reduced or eliminated the need for oral antibiotics in uncomplicated abscesses. The mean circumference of the erythema area, measured in centimeters (cm), was assessed at baseline and 48-hours later. This was performed by the clinician drawing a circle with a marker around the area of redness surrounding the abscess. Mean improvement was compared between the 2 arms using two-tailed t-tests.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: 48-hours after baseline

Population: Induration was assessed at baseline and the 48-hour follow-up visit. The length and width (in centimeters) of the abscess was used to measure the wound area (induration). For each subject, the difference in area between the two timepoints was used to find the mean improvement for both arms.

Induration or abscess size was assessed to determine if the use of Irrisept reduced or eliminated the need for oral antibiotics in uncomplicated abscesses. The need for oral antibiotics, assessed by the mean induration or abscess size (measured in cm), was reviewed at baseline and the 48-hour visit. Mean improvement was compared between the 2 arms using two-tailed t-tests.

Population: Warmth was assessed at baseline and the 48-hour follow-up visit. Chi-square tests for answers "yes" or "no" were run at the baseline and 48-hour follow-up visits.

Warmth was assessed to determine if the use of Irrisept reduced or eliminated the need for oral antibiotics in uncomplicated abscesses. Clinicians recorded whether the abscess was warm for each subject initially and after 48 hours.

OTHER_PRE_SPECIFIED outcome

Timeframe: 0 days

Population: 0

The tertiary objective was to determine if the use of pressurized irrigation with Irrisept in uncomplicated abscesses improved wound healing in patients that have MRSA-positive wounds compared to pressurized irrigation with normal saline. No data was collected towards this objective; thus, the success or failure of this endpoint was not assessed. To be compliant with the CT.gov template, although the information is incorrect and no data was captured this outcome, data was entered for Irrisept subjects.

POST_HOC outcome

Timeframe: Baseline and up to 48-hours later

Population: There was a total of 42 AEs for which causality assessments were made; 28 AEs were from subjects on SoC and 14 were from subjects on Irrisept.

Causality for each worsening event was determined by using the following categories: 'related', 'possibly related', 'unlikely related', 'unrelated' or 'unknown'.
