Detailed Description

Study Design:

The products used in this study are: ClōSYS Alcohol-Free Oral Rinse (referred here as ClōSYS Unflavored Oral Rinse) and ClōSYS justRIGHT MILD MINT Oral Rinse (referred here as ClōSYS Flavored Oral Rinse). This is an in-vivo, eight-week, a single-center, randomized, double-blind (subject/investigator), 2-waycross-overdesign clinical study. There will be two independent groups. Each subject of each group will be crossed over to the other group within a same group after the washout period. Each group will have their own control group. In the first phase, 25 subjects (50%) of each group will randomly be assigned to the active group; the other 25 subjects will be assigned to the control group. In the second phase, the participants will be crossed over of group assignment. The Study will enroll 100 subjects, aged 21 to 65 years, with a slight to strong intrinsic oral malodor, as determined by a panel of trained odor judges calibrated and standardized using a range of standard odorants sufficient to reflect the different patterns of nose receptors.

Study Plan:

Subjects will receive verbal and written oral hygiene instructions, and either one bottle (16 oz. each) of ClōSYS Unflavored Oral Rinse, ClōSYS Flavored Oral Rinse- or Placebo Oral Rinse each week. Subjects will also receive measuring cups for dispensing the rinse and a diary log for recording usage (the Oral Hygiene Kit) for use during the treatment. After a 2-week wash out period, each subject will receive another bottle of oral rinse according to their group assignment. The rinse bottles will be weighed prior to dispensing the product. A product log will be maintained and the weights of the bottles will be documented at each visit.

Subjects will be instructed to rinse twice a day, each in the morning and in the evening, with 15 mL mouth rinse for 30 seconds. They will note in their patient's log the date and time of rinsing.

Subjects will be instructed to continue with their normal oral hygiene practices, including tooth brushing and flossing but omitting any use of oral rinses or mouthwashes except for the Study materials. The subjects also will be instructed not to use other non-study related products such as breath mints, lozenge, gums, etc. as well as refraining from elective dental procedures during the study period.

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.
