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

We propose an open, prospective, single-site study to evaluate the bioequivalence of ethylenediamine dihydrochloride in methylcellulose (MC)and polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) formulations. Bioequivalence will be determined in minimum of 15 adult subjects, with a clinical history of contact dermatitis and a positive patch test (current or previous) to ethylenediamine ("sensitives").

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

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
Number of Participants With Positive Reactions to Ethylenediamine Dihydrochloride in MC (Methylcellulose) and Ethylenediamine Dihydrochloride in PVP (Polyvinylpyrrolidone)
Time Frame: 21 days
Bioequivalence will be calculated using concordance (Cohen's Kappa) between the number of subjects with positive reactions (defined as a score of 1+, 2+ or 3+) to 50 mcg/cm2 Ethylenediamine dihydrochloride in MC (methylcellulose) and 50 mcg/cm2 Ethylenediamine dihydrochloride in PVP (polyvinylpyrrolidone) and the number of subjects with negative reactions to 50 mcg/cm2 Ethylenediamine dihydrochloride in MC (methylcellulose) and 50 mcg/cm2 Ethylenediamine dihydrochloride in PVP (polyvinylpyrrolidone)
21 days

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
Number of Participants With Late Reactions to Ethylenediamine Dihydrochloride in MC (Methylcellulose) and Ethylenediamine Dihydrochloride in PVP (Polyvinylpyrrolidone)
Time Frame: Day 7-21
Number of subjects with a late reaction, defined as a positive reaction (score of 1+, 2+, 3+) initially appearing at 7-21 days after patch application)

Number of Participants With Tape Irritation to Ethylenediamine Dihydrochloride in MC (Methylcellulose) and Ethylenediamine Dihydrochloride in PVP (Polyvinylpyrrolidone)
Time Frame: Day 2 (48 hours after application)
Skin irritation associated with the adhesive tape (tape irritation) used to secure the test patches was evaluated at Visit 2 (day 2) 20 minutes following panel removal according to the following Tape Adhesion Score Scale: None (no irritation), Weak (faint to definite pink erythema), Moderate (moderate erythema, definite redness), Strong (severe erythema, very intense redness). Entire panel was scored as a whole- individual allergen sites were not scored separately.
Day 2 (48 hours after application)
Number of Participants With Itching to Ethylenediamine Dihydrochloride in MC (Methylcellulose) and Ethylenediamine Dihydrochloride in PVP (Polyvinylpyrrolidone)
Time Frame: Day 2 (48 hours after patch application)
Subject self-report of itching attributed to the test panels was recorded at Visit 2 (day 2), 20 minutes following panel removal. The following Itching Score Scale was used: None (no itching), Weak (minimal discomfort), Moderate (definite discomfort), Strong (significantly bothersome, possible interference with sleep or daily activity). Entire panel was scored as a whole- individual allergen sites were not scored separately.
Day 2 (48 hours after patch application)

Time Frame: Day 2 (48 hours after application)
Subject self-report of burning attributed to the test panels was recorded at Visit 2 (day 2), 20 minutes following panel removal. The following Burning Score scale was used: None (no burning), Weak (minimal discomfort), Moderate (definite discomfort), Strong (significantly bothersome, possible interference with sleep or daily activity).
