Study Overview

Status

Status

Indicates the current recruitment status or the expanded access status.
Completed

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Detailed Description

The study will require participation for up to 14 days of participation or less if the blister heals sooner, will recruit 100 subjects with fluid filled blisters on the heel of the foot that are intact and not broken. Some subjects will be asked to have their blisters photographed. All subjects will be required to have their blister unroofed (top layer of skin removed by the physician using sterile instruments). All subjects will receive study product, either test product or a marketed product.

Study Type

Study Type

Describes the nature of a clinical study. Study types include interventional studies (also called clinical trials), observational studies (including patient registries), and expanded access.

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

18 years and older (Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Genders Eligible for Study

All

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Male or female subjects, 18 years of age or older;
  • Individuals who are willing and able to provide informed consent

  • Females of childbearing potential must be using a medically-acceptable method of birth control for at least one month prior to Visit 1 such as the ones listed below and agree to continue using this method during their participation in the study; Note that abstinence is not an approved method of birth control.

    • Postmenopausal or amenorrheic for one year
    • Surgically sterile (hysterectomy, tubal ligation, or oophorectomy)
    • Use of an effective method of birth control (e.g. prescription oral contraceptives, contraceptive implants or injections, intrauterine device, diaphragm, cervical cap or condoms with spermicide)

  • Subject is willing to have blister unroofed (top layer of blister removed) by the investigator
  • Subject is willing and able to follow the study directions, to participate in the study, and to return for all specified visits

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Pregnant, planning a pregnancy or actively nursing
  • Exhibits a foot blister on the heel that exceeds 1125mm2 or would otherwise not be covered by the hydrogel portion of the study product
  • Unstable or uncontrolled medical conditions that could require intensive treatment during the course of the study
  • Individuals with autoimmune disorders including, but not limited to, lupus erythematosus, rheumatoid arthritis, or HIV/AIDS
  • Currently participating in or, within the past 30 days have participated in another clinical study using an investigational drug or device

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Investigator Assessment
Time Frame: at subject's last visit, within 14 days of start
Global assessment of the product by the investigator at the subject's last visit.
at subject's last visit, within 14 days of start

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Subject Assessment
Time Frame: at subject's last visit, within 14 days of start
Global assessment of the product by the subject at the subject's last visit.
