Trial Outcomes & Findings for Human Participant Study of a Prototype Multilayer Foam Dressing on Intact Skin. (NCT NCT06831448)

NCT ID: NCT06831448

Last Updated: 2026-06-09

Results Overview

Count of dressings with acceptable dressing presence was determined by a yes/no assessment at Day 7, with a 'yes' response defined as the dressing is in place with no border lift reaching the pad and no pad exposure.

Participant Flow

The enrollment period started on 20 January 2025 and ended on 05 March 2025. It required approximately 6 weeks to recruit all participants.

Prior to application of 4 dressings composed of the 3 different dressing types (1 prototype dressing applied twice and 2 marketed dressings), a physical skin assessment occurred to ensure skin was healthy, intact \& hair free. Upon eligibility confirmation, the investigator would apply the appropriate dressing to the randomized left or right thigh/shin so that a total of 4 dressings were applied.

Measure
Intra-Individual Comparison of Prototype Dressing and Marketed Dressings
Each participant received all 3 available dressings applied to 4 locations (1 prototype dressing applied twice and 2 different marketed dressings). Randomization determined which dressing was applied to either the left or right thigh/shin location in a 1:1 ratio. All participants had 4 dressings applied in total (e.g., prototype dressing + marketed dressing 1 on the shins and prototype dressing + marketed dressing 2 on the thighs, or vice versa).

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Day 7

Population: The Full Analysis Set (FAS) population included all participants in the Safety population with at least one post baseline assessment.

Count of dressings with acceptable dressing presence was determined by a yes/no assessment at Day 7, with a 'yes' response defined as the dressing is in place with no border lift reaching the pad and no pad exposure.

Population: The Per Protocol (PP) population included all participants in the Full Analysis Set that finished the investigation in accordance with the clinical investigational plan (i.e., protocol) without major protocol deviations. There were 10 participants with major protocol deviations that were excluded from analysis. The data reported is separated by each dressing specified as intended because all participants received all dressings (i.e., same participant population was analyzed for each dressing).

Count of dressings with acceptable dressing presence determined by a yes/no assessment at Day 1 and 3, with a 'yes' response defined as the dressing is in place with no border lift reaching the pad and no pad exposure.
