Brief summary

A single 2% topical application of ReadyPrep® CHG was applied on either the abdomen (Treatment-1) or the groin (Treatment-2) whereas Treatment-3 consisted of a control treatment where the same procedure as Treatment-1 and -2 was performed, but without the topical application of ReadyPrep® CHG. The treatments were separated by a wash-out of 7 calendar days.

MeasureTime frameDescription
Number of Subjects With Plasma Levels of Chlorexidine Following Systemic Exposure After a Single Topical Application of CHG.Up to 24 hours after product applicationA total of 12 blood samples were collected (one tube of 6 mL each) at various time points up before and after product application in each study period and analyzed for plasma levels of chlorhexidine. Blood samples were collected at 10, 2 and 0.5 hours prior to each treatment, and 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, and 12 hours following each treatment.

Outcome results

Primary

Number of Subjects With Plasma Levels of Chlorexidine Following Systemic Exposure After a Single Topical Application of CHG.

A total of 12 blood samples were collected (one tube of 6 mL each) at various time points up before and after product application in each study period and analyzed for plasma levels of chlorhexidine. Blood samples were collected at 10, 2 and 0.5 hours prior to each treatment, and 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, and 12 hours following each treatment.

Time frame: Up to 24 hours after product application

Population: There was no statistical analysis planned on the PK results of this study. Results were reported as is. Study was completed as a 3-period, 3-sequence crossover therefore not all arms were analyzed with same amount of participants due to drop out.
