Brief summary

The purpose of this study is to determine the antimicrobial efficacy of an investigational CHG/IPA prep on skin flora of the inguinal regions of human subjects.

Detailed description

Non-inferiority of the investigational product to the FDA-approved active control for log10/cm2 recovery of skin flora relative to Treatment Day baseline log10/cm2 on the inguinal region at 10 minutes following application. Non-inferiority is based on a non-inferiority margin of 0.5 log10/cm2. Superiority of the active products to the negative control for log10/cm2 recovery of skin flora relative to Treatment Day baseline log10/cm2 on the inguinal region at 10 minutes following application. A superiority margin of 1.2 log10/cm2 is used. Number of observations for which the log10/cm2 recovery of skin flora on the inguinal region at 6 hours following application of the study products is higher than treatment day log10/cm2 baseline skin flora.

Pre-assignment details

This is a randomized, paired-comparison design where each subject received two of the planned treatments, one on the left side and one on the right. Each subject provided two inguinal test sites, left and right. 154 subjects were randomized for the inguinal region resulting in 308 applications of test products.

Outcome results

Primary

Log Change (Reduction) in Skin Flora on the Inguinal Region at 10 Minutes

Immediate efficacy endpoint which is defined as the average treatment effect (ATE) log10 CFU/cm2 of skin flora on the inguinal region at 10 minutes following application of the study products relative to the treatment day baseline skin flora

Time frame: 10 minutes

Population: The primary analysis data set used a modified intent-to-treat population. Subjects were excluded who did not meet the treatment day baseline requirements of 5.00 log10/cm\^2 on the inguinal test site. The number treatment arm-specific test sites is equal to the number of participants.

Persistent efficacy endpoint which is a binary endpoint with success/failure, where success is defined as log10 CFU/cm2 of skin flora on the inguinal region at 6 hours following application of the study products being lower than the treatment day baseline skin flora

Time frame: 6 hours

Population: The primary analysis data set used a modified intent-to-treat population. Subjects were excluded who did not meet the treatment day baseline requirements of 5.00 log10/cm\^2 on the inguinal test site. The number treatment arm-specific test sites is equal to the number of participants.
