The objective of this study is to determine the relative gentleness of a new medical tape.

Study Overview

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 objective of this study is to determine the relative gentleness of a new medical tape. A three-prong multidimensional evaluation consisting of expert grader, subject discomfort assessment, and laboratory assessments was used. One pre-study visit took place up to 7 days prior to the start of the study. The study was conducted over two days with one tape sample applied and removed. Assessments were taken on the final day. This was to mimic a normal tape application in health care practice.

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

6 months to 4 years (Child)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

Yes

Description

Inclusion Criteria: Subjects will be infants or children of either gender who meet the following criteria:

  1. Who are healthy and who have intact skin at the test site with a baseline score of 0 for erythema
  2. Who are between the ages of 6 months - 4 years of age (48 months)
  3. Who have a Fitzpatrick Skin Type of I, II or III
  4. Whose parent or legal representative agrees to not use any products (i.e. topical medications, creams, powders or ointments) on the test sites for 24 hours prior to the study start date
  5. Whose parent or legal representative agrees to sponge bathe their child during the study but agrees to not bathe their child 1 hour before each visit.
  6. Whose parent or legal representative agrees to not soak the tape during a sponge bath. If the site gets wet, parent or legal representative agrees to pat their child's back dry (no rubbing).
  7. Whose parent or legal representative is willing to sign the Informed Consent Form (with photo release) and HIPAA Authorization.

Exclusion Criteria:

  1. Who are known to be developmentally delayed
  2. Who have any known allergy or sensitivity to tapes
  3. Who have sunburn, skin infection or scars, moles, or other blemishes on the back that would obscure grading of the test site
  4. Who have had any exposure to other topical medications, creams, powders, or ointments on the test sites 24 hours prior to the start of the study
  5. Who have had a strep infection within the 2 weeks prior to the start of the study
  6. Who have a history of uncontrolled diabetes, psoriasis, any active dermatitis, or recent history of dermatitis or skin reactions
  7. Has participated in any study in the last 2 weeks, or are currently participating in another study, or are scheduled to participate in another study during this study period.
  8. Has any other skin disorders that, in the opinion of the investigator, will interfere with the study results or will increase undue risk for the child.

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
The Face, Legs, Activity, Cry, Consolability (FLACC) Score.
Time Frame: 24 Hours after initial tape application and after tape removal. Change in FLACC score between the time of tape removal and baseline.
The Face, Legs, Activity, Cry, Consolability (FLACC) scale is a measurement used to assess pain for children Participants between the ages of 2 months and 7 years or individuals that are unable to communicate their pain. The scale is scored in a range of 0-10 with 0 representing no pain. Lower values represent lessening pain on the scale. At the 24 hour visit , a baseline FLACC score was recorded with the tape still in place. The tape was then removed and a FLACC score was recorded after removal. The reported value is the difference between FLACC after removal and FLACC at baseline.
24 Hours after initial tape application and after tape removal. Change in FLACC score between the time of tape removal and baseline.

Primary Completion

The date on which the last participant in a clinical study was examined or received an intervention to collect final data for the primary outcome measure. Whether the clinical study ended according to the protocol or was terminated does not affect this date. For clinical studies with more than one primary outcome measure with different completion dates, this term refers to the date on which data collection is completed for all the primary outcome measures. The "anticipated" primary completion date is the date that the researchers think will be the primary completion date for the study.
