Study summary

The purpose of this study is to document the incidence of allergic contact dermatitis (ACD) to silk fibroin and 2-octyl cyanoacrylate mesh dressings, to document the incidence of acute wound dehiscence requiring reoperation after application of silk fibroin and 2-octyl cyanoacrylate mesh dressings, to identify differences in clinic utilization for complications related to silk fibroin and 2-octyl cyanoacrylate mesh dressings and to collect patient reported outcome measures (PROMs) related to patient comfort and satisfaction for silk fibroin and 2-octyl cyanoacrylate mesh dressings after total hip arthroplasty.

  • Experimental
    Silk fibroin wound dressing

    Device: Silk fibroin

Interventions

  • DeviceDermabond PRINEO

    Participants will have the Dermabond PRINEO wound dressing applied after surgery and will undergo standard postoperative examination that will evaluate and remove the dressing, as well as examine and document a physical examination of the surgical wound. Photos of the surgical wound will be uploaded to the patient's electronic medical record during dressing removal.

  • DeviceSilk fibroin

    Participants will have the Silk fibroin wound dressing applied after surgery and will undergo standard postoperative examination that will evaluate and remove the dressing, as well as examine and document a physical examination of the surgical wound. Photos of the surgical wound will be uploaded to the patient's electronic medical record during dressing removal.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Number of participants with allergic contact dermatitis (ACD) to dressings as assessed by clinical examination by a blinded observer at dressing removal

    ACD includes erythema, with or without weeping or pruritus, in a geometric border at the surgical site with absence of fluctuance or purulence

    Time frame: At the time of dressing removal about 10-14 days after surgery

  2. Number of participants with acute wound dehiscence resulting in reoperation

    Time frame: within 6 weeks of index procedure

Secondary outcomes

  1. Clinic utilization as assessed by the the total number of additional patient communications or visits regarding dressings or wound complications.

    This will include telephone calls, electronic messages, additional office visits and additional ER visits.

    Time frame: 6-8 weeks after the operation

  2. Patient overall comfort as assessed by question 6 on the Patient Reported Outcomes (PROMs) questionnaire .

    This will be measured on a linear scale from 0(very uncomfortable) to 10 (very comfortable), higher number indicating better outcome

    Time frame: 2-4 weeks after the operation

  3. Patient satisfaction with the dressing as assessed by question 7 on the Patient Reported Outcomes (PROMs) questionnaire .

    This will be measured on a linear scale from 0(very dissatisfied) to 10 (very satisfied), higher number indicating better outcome

    Time frame: 2-4 weeks after the operation

Timeline

1 registry update since Sep 25, 2026
ElapsedEstimatedEstimated, not yet reachedSimilar studies: half by the dot; the band is the middle halfHalf of similar studies reached it by the dot; the band is the middle half, from a quarter to three quarters

Start is estimated for Oct 2026; primary completion for Oct 2027, 12 months later.

Of 15 interventional studies with no phase under Dermatitis, Allergic Contact, half reached primary completion within 7 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 4 and three quarters within 21. This study's planned 12 months is above that.

How these figures are worked out, and which studies are left out of them.

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.
