Study population

The study population consists of 24 Caucasian females, age 18-40, in good general health and free from dermatological conditions in the testing area.

Go through the criteria one by one — yes, no or not sure — and take the list to your doctor or the study team. Kept in this browser only.

Inclusion criteria

    1. Fluent in English, willing and able to read, understand, and sign the form (ICF) 2. Ability to complete the course of the study and comply with instructions; 3. Females aged 18 to 40 years, in good general health as deemed by the investigator (no physical required).

      1. Caucasian individuals with Fitzpatrick skin type I, II, or III (See Appendix I).
      1. Individuals free of any systemic or dermatological disorder including a known history of allergies or other medical conditions which, in the opinion of the investigator, could interfere with the conduct of the study, interpretation of results, or increase the risk of adverse reactions.
      1. Anticipated ability to complete the course of the study and to comply with instructions.
      1. Females practicing an acceptable method of (abstinence is acceptable). Females of must have practiced an acceptable method of birth control for the past 3 months and be willing to continue using the same method throughout the duration of the study. Acceptable methods of birth control, include: 1) Systemic birth control (Subjects must have been taking the same type of birth control for at least 3 months prior to entering the study and must not change the type of birth control during the study); 2) Condom with spermicide; 3) IUD; 4) Vasectomized partner; and 5) Abstinence. Females who are (for at least 1 year) or have had a permanent sterilization procedure (i.e. hysterectomy, tubal ligation, bilateral oophorectomy) do not need to have additional birth control methods.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

    1. Individuals with any visible skin disease, skin condition (e.g., back acne) including baseline erythema assessment > 0.5, or tattoos in the test area (mid to upper back).

      1. Individuals with abnormal skin pigmentation at the test sites, which might interfere with subsequent evaluations of dermal responsiveness.
      1. Individuals with recent prolonged sun or tanning bed exposure in the test area 4. Individuals with excessive dryness or redness at the sites of application. 5. Individuals with a known to any of the components of the insult, controls, or adhesive tapes.
      1. Subjects must not have applied any lotions, creams, powders, or oils to their backs the morning of the study. Additionally, two hours must have passed since bathing or showering.
      1. Women who are pregnant or nursing. 8. Individuals who have participated on a study involving the test sites (back) in the previous 30 days.
      1. Individuals participating in another clinical study 10. Individuals with open or healing cuts/incisions, abrasions, lesions, pustules, fissures, or broken mucosa/skin in the test area
Terms in these criteria, in plain language(5)

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.

Informed consent

Before you join, the study team explains what taking part involves — its purpose, what happens, the risks and possible benefits — and answers your questions, so you can decide freely. Consent is usually recorded on a form (the informed consent form, ICF) signed by you or, where the law allows, by someone legally authorised to decide for you.

You can keep asking questions during the study, you are told of new information that matters, and you can choose to leave at any time.

Contraception

Ways of preventing pregnancy. “Highly effective” methods fail less than 1% of the time a year when used correctly — for example an IUD or an implant.

Criteria usually say which methods count and how long to keep using them after the last dose, sometimes for male participants too. Some studies accept a partner’s vasectomy if it was confirmed successful and that person is the participant’s only sexual partner.

Childbearing potential

Able to become pregnant: from the first period until menopause, unless permanently unable to through surgery (removal of the womb, or of both ovaries or both fallopian tubes).

Criteria for people of childbearing potential usually ask for a negative pregnancy test and for contraception during the study and for a time after it.

Postmenopausal

Periods have stopped for good: usually no period for 12 months in a row without another medical reason, sometimes confirmed by a blood test (FSH).

Hypersensitivity

An allergy, or another reaction of the immune system, to a substance. “Hypersensitivity to the study drug” means a known allergic reaction to it — not every side effect a medicine can have.

References and documents

Individual participant data

Plan to share: No — Subjects will be identified on CRFs and other documents submitted to the Sponsor by their unique identification number with or without their initials, not by name. Documents that identify the subject (e.g., the signed informed consent) are not to be submitted to the Sponsor and must be maintained in confidence by the Investigator.

No publications or documents are linked to this record.

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on Jan 18, 2018, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
