505(b)(2) Clinical Trials for Chlorhexidine Gluconate; Isopropyl Alcohol
| Trial Type | Trial ID | Title | Status | Sponsor | Phase | Start Date | Summary |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| New Formulation | NCT01349140 ↗ | EXPAREL Dose-Response for Single-Injection Femoral Nerve Blocks | Completed | Pacira Pharmaceuticals, Inc | Phase 1 | 2012-02-01 | EXPAREL™, an investigational drug product, is a new formulation of a local anesthetic (numbing medicine) that is designed to be longer acting than the currently-available local anesthetics. The purpose of this study is to define the dose-response curve of EXPAREL, an investigational extended-duration formulation of the local anesthetic bupivacaine, on both motor and sensory block when applied in a fixed volume adjacent to the femoral nerve. |

| NCT00247897 ↗ | Comparing Skin Disinfectants Before Labour Epidural Analgesia | Completed | University of British Columbia | N/A | 2005-11-01 | The purpose of this study is to compare the current standard skin disinfectant solution for labour epidurals used at BC Women's Hospital to another common skin disinfectant and to the skin disinfectant solution recommended by the Public Health Agency of Canada (PHAC) prior to placing special intravenous lines. There is very little information available to guide doctors in deciding which is the best skin disinfectant for epidural analgesia. The study hypothesis is that the disinfectant solution recommended by the PHAC will be the most effective. |
| NCT00739583 ↗ | Visibility of Site Marking for Surgical Time Out With Two Different Skin Preparation Solutions | Completed | Johns Hopkins University | Phase 4 | 2008-08-01 | Skin preparation solutions are used to clean the skin of the patient before surgery to decrease the rate of infection. This is particularly important for hip replacement to reduce the risk of prosthetic joint infection. The use of a mark on the skin for site identification has become the standard of care to decrease wrong site surgery. The Joint Commission has mandated site identification as part of the surgical "time-out". This procedure is also mandated by hospital policy. Preliminary work on cadaveric skin shows that the type of skin preparation can erase the mark used for surgical site identification. Erasure of the mark presents the surgeon with difficulty in performing the site identification. Any error or lack of visualization of the site marking could lead to catastrophic wrong site surgery. The investigators hypothesis is that chlorhexidine based skin preparation solutions erase site marking in comparison to iodine based skin preparation solutions. The investigators intend to prospectively study twenty patients undergoing total hip arthroplasty. Patients will be randomized to either a chlorhexidine based or an iodine based skin preparation solution. These solutions are both the current gold standard of clinical care. No differences have been shown in infection rates for total hip arthroplasty between these solutions. The site marking will be performed by the same surgeon in a standardized manner. The site marking will include the surgeon's three initials as per usual routine. Underneath the initials three random initials will be placed with a horizontal line drawn underneath. The preparation of the skin will be performed according to the manufacturer's specifications. Digital photographs will be taken of the skin marking after skin preparation. Photographs of the three random initials will be de-identified and placed in a "Powerpoint" presentation form. Ten orthopaedic surgeons will then read the site markings to identify the random initials and to tell whether the mark looks appropriate to perform a surgical timeout. The horizontal line will be digitally analyzed using Adobe Photoshop to quantitatively measure blackness of the mark. |
| NCT00829023 ↗ | Efficacy of Surgical Preparation Solutions in Shoulder Surgery | Completed | CareFusion | N/A | 2007-06-01 | The purpose of the present study was to examine the native bacteria around the shoulder and determine the efficacy of three different surgical skin-preparation solutions on the eradication of bacteria from the shoulder. |
| NCT00829023 ↗ | Efficacy of Surgical Preparation Solutions in Shoulder Surgery | Completed | Northwestern University | N/A | 2007-06-01 | The purpose of the present study was to examine the native bacteria around the shoulder and determine the efficacy of three different surgical skin-preparation solutions on the eradication of bacteria from the shoulder. |
| NCT01216761 ↗ | A Cluster-randomized Cross-over Trial Evaluating the Comparative Effectiveness of Three Skin Antiseptic Interventions | Completed | Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan Foundation | N/A | 2008-05-01 | Background: Contaminated blood cultures result in unnecessary antibiotic use, increased length of stay, and additional laboratory tests, all of which increase healthcare costs. While the optimal skin antisepsis agent for reducing blood culture contamination is not known, the cost of various agents differs substantially. Objective: To determine the relative rates of blood culture contamination for 3 skin antisepsis interventions - 10% povidone iodine aqueous solution (PI), 2% iodine tincture (IT) and 2% chlorhexidine gluconate in 70% isopropyl alcohol (CHG) - when used by dedicated phlebotomy teams to obtain peripheral blood cultures in adult non-ICU medical and surgical patients. |

| NCT01233050 ↗ | Efficacy Comparison of Two Preoperative Skin Antisepsis Preparations in Colorectal Surgery | Completed | 3M | N/A | 2010-12-01 | Surgical site infections (SSI) are one of the most common complications in the post-operative patient, and the second most common health care associated infection overall. It is estimated that there are between 500 thousand and 1.1 million surgical site infections in the United States each year. Given the magnitude of the problem, prevention of surgical site infections is a major goal of peri-operative care. However, skin preparation prior to surgery has not been as rigorously examined. The primary objective of this study is to compare the efficacy of two FDA approved, popular peri-operative skin preparations 2% chlorhexidine gluconate / 70% isopropyl alcohol to Iodine Povacrylex [0.7% available Iodine] / 74% Isopropyl Alcohol in the prevention of superficial surgical site infection. Male and female patients, age 18 years and older undergoing elective colorectal surgical procedures involving a laparotomy will be enrolled. These patients are at high risk of SSI. Eligible patients will be assessed at regular intervals for SSI and characterization of bacterial pathogen(s) in patients with SSI. Patients will remain enrolled into the study until 35 days postoperatively. |
