Treatment of Human Gingivitis With Topical ACCS: a Two Week Safety Dose-ranging and Proof-of-principle Trial

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety of oral topical application of Amnion-derived Cellular Cytokine Solution (ACCS) in subjects with gingivitis

Study Overview

Status

Indicates the current recruitment status or the expanded access status.

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

This randomized blinded study will evaluate the use of ACCS in subjects with gingivitis. Two doses of ACCS will be used. It will be given topically intra-orally daily Monday through Friday for 2 weeks. In the first cohort, a low dose of ACCS or saline will be given by random chance. If there are no safety issues, cohort two will include a higher dose of ACCS randomized with saline. Pocket depth, plaque index, gingival index, and bleeding on probing will be assessed. To assess shifts in supragingival flora, a qualitative and quantitative microbial analysis will be performed for common oral bacteria. There will also be an analysis of inflammatory cytokines in crevicular fluid at the beginning and end of the study. Comparisons of adverse events and outcomes will be made between the subjects receiving low dose ACCS, high dose ACCS, and saline.

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 to 70 years (Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

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
Time Frame
Incidence of adverse/serious adverse events
Time Frame: End of two weeks of treatment and at two weeks follow-up visit
End of two weeks of treatment and at two weeks follow-up visit

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.
