Participant flow
Pre-assignment details
Enrollment consists of subjects that advanced from screening to randomization and treatment. Each subject had 2 test products applied bilaterally; therefore, the numbers will not add up uniformly across arms due to the pre-determined cohort/block design. Result totals will be less than than the treated number as the per subject/ area/intervention anatomical site must have an acceptable baseline count/flora.
Participants by arm
| Arm | Count |
|---|---|
| Treated Population Each subject could have received 2 out of 3 test products randomly assigned. Demographics were not stratified by test product due to study design. While 640 was the treated population, to be evaluable for efficacy, each subject anatomical sample site (4/per subject) would need to pass the minimum log10 cfu/cm\^2 baseline requirements. | 640 |
| Total | 640 |

Outcome results
Primary
Bacterial Reduction
A a 3-log per cm2 bacterial reduction on the inguinal region is considered a success.
Time frame: 10 minutes post product application
Population: Treated subjects with treatment day baseline criteria 5.0-7.5 log recoveries.
| Arm | Measure | Value (MEAN) | Dispersion |
|---|---|---|---|
| Mean Log Reduction - ZP (70% IPA) - Groin | Bacterial Reduction | 4.04 log10 cfu/cm^2 | Standard Deviation 1.33 |
| Mean Log Reduction - Groin - ChloraPrep | Bacterial Reduction | 4.01 log10 cfu/cm^2 | Standard Deviation 1.43 |
| Mean Log Reduction - Groin - ZP Vehicle | Bacterial Reduction | 1.60 log10 cfu/cm^2 | Standard Deviation 0.69 |
Comparison: Groin 10 minutes Average treatment effect, calculated using a linear regression model for each body site, was used for primary analysis. In the model, the response was the post-treatment log10 bacterial counts and predictors were the treatment effect as a fixed effect and the pre-treatment log10 bacterial counts as a covariate.95% CI: [-0.221, 0.18]
Comparison: Groin 10 minutes Average Treatment effect, calculated using a linear regression model for each body site, was used for primary analysis. In the model, the response was the post-treatment log10 bacterial counts and predictors were the treatment effect as a fixed effect and the pre-treatment log10 bacterial counts as a covariate.95% CI: [2.15, 2.76]
Primary
Bacterial Reduction - Abdomen
A 2-log per cm2 bacterial reduction on the abdomen region is considered a success.
Time frame: 10 minutes post product application
Population: Treated subjects with treatment day baseline criteria 3.0-5.5 log10 recoveries.
| Arm | Measure | Value (MEAN) | Dispersion |
|---|---|---|---|
| Mean Log Reduction - ZP (70% IPA) - Groin | Bacterial Reduction - Abdomen | 2.99 log10 cfu/cm^2 | Standard Deviation 1.1 |
| Mean Log Reduction - Groin - ChloraPrep | Bacterial Reduction - Abdomen | 2.79 log10 cfu/cm^2 | Standard Deviation 1.1 |
| Mean Log Reduction - Groin - ZP Vehicle | Bacterial Reduction - Abdomen | 1.00 log10 cfu/cm^2 | Standard Deviation 0.9 |
Comparison: Abdomen 10 minutes average treatment effect, calculated using a linear regression model for each body site, was used for primary analysis. In the model, the response was the post-treatment log10 bacterial counts and predictors were the treatment effect as a fixed effect and the pre-treatment log10 bacterial counts as a covariate.95% CI: [-0.2085, 0.1215]
