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.

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.
Interventional

Enrollment (Actual)

Enrollment

The number of participants in a clinical study. The "anticipated" enrollment is the target number of participants that the researchers need for the study.

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.

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm

Participant Group / Arm

A group or subgroup of participants in a clinical trial that receives a specific intervention/treatment, or no intervention, according to the trial's protocol.
Intervention / Treatment

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
Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI) Scores
Time Frame: At Baseline, at 6 Weeks
Participant quality of life as measured via DLQI. DLQI has a total score ranging from 0-30 with the higher score indicating more impairment on the participant's quality of life.
At Baseline, at 6 Weeks

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
Average Pain as Assessed by the Numerical Rating Scale (NRS)
Time Frame: At Baseline, at 6 Weeks
The average pain reported over the last 24 hours will be measured using the NRS with scores ranging from 0-10 with the higher score indicating more severe pain.
At Baseline, at 6 Weeks
Maximal Pain as Assessed by the Numerical Rating Scale (NRS)
Time Frame: At Baseline, at 6 Weeks
The pain rating at its worse over the last 24 hours will be reported as the maximal pain using the NRS with scores ranging from 0-10 with the higher score indicating more severe pain.
At Baseline, at 6 Weeks
Sleep Rating
Time Frame: At Baseline, at 6 Weeks
Sleep rating will be evaluated using a 5 point Likert scale ranging from 1-5 with the higher score indicating increased sleep disturbance.
At Baseline, at 6 Weeks
Drainage Rating
Time Frame: At Baseline, at 6 Weeks
Lesion drainage rating will be evaluated using a 4 point Likert scale ranging from 1-4 with the higher score indicating increased lesion draining. For participants with multiple wounds/lesions, the drainage rating will be a comprehensive assessment of all wounds/lesions.
At Baseline, at 6 Weeks
Odor Rating
Time Frame: At Baseline, at 6 Weeks
Lesion odor rating will be evaluated using a 4 point Likert scale ranging from 1-4 with the higher score indicating increased lesion odor. For participants with multiple wounds/lesions, the odor rating will be a comprehensive assessment of all wounds/lesions.
At Baseline, at 6 Weeks
Number of Participants at Each Hidradenitis Suppurativa Physician Global Assessment (HS-PGA) Grading
Time Frame: At 6 Weeks
HS-PGA Scale scores patient disease severity as one of the following: clear, minimal, mild, moderate, severe, and very severe. The number of participants scored at each scale will be reported.
At 6 Weeks
Average Frequency of Dressing Changes
Time Frame: 6 Weeks
Participant reported frequency of dressing changes per wound per day. For participants with multiple wounds/lesions, the frequency of dressing changes will be a comprehensive assessment of all wounds/lesions.
6 Weeks
Number of Participants Reporting Overall Dressing Preference for Specific Body Part
Time Frame: At Baseline
Overall dressing preference will be reported as the number of participants preferring to use a particular wound dressing in the kit provided.
At Baseline
Number of Participants Reporting Dressing Preference for Each Specific Body Part
Time Frame: Visit 1 (Day 14)
Participant reported dressing preference for specific body parts for each of the interventions received.
Visit 1 (Day 14)
