Incontinence, Urinary clinical trials

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.

NCT ID: NCT03046810 Recruiting - Dermatitis Clinical Trials

Treatment of Incontinence Associated Dermatitis - Automated

TRIAD-A

Start date: April 1, 2017
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Incontinence and the skin irritation (dermatitis) associated with it are common problems. Treatment of dermatitis is effective, but requires effective cleaning and application of a barrier substance to prevent further contact between urine or feces and the skin. Water based cleansing with the addition of a pH balanced cleanser is more effective than standard abrasive cleansing with paper or a cloth, and is better tolerated by those with skin irritation. Zinc oxide based barriers effectively promote healing and prevent further skin damage. Spray forms are less cumbersome and generally preferred, but are difficult to for the patient to apply independently given the challenge of accessing the perineum. 40 patients, recruited from 3 specialty pelvic floor centers and 1 assisted living center will be provided a device that cleans, dries, and applies zinc oxide barrier spray with each use of the toilet. Dermatitis will be evaluated at the beginning of the study, and at weeks 1, 2 and 6 by medical staff using a standard scale (The Kennedy Scale).Quality of life will be measured using a visual analog scale derived from the quality of life in incontinence scale. The investigators hypothesize that the device will 1) effectively treat incontinence associated dermatitis, 2) prevent recurrence, and 3) be preferred over standard treatment.
