A Clinical Study to Assess the Efficacy and Safety of a Healing Ointment on Diaper Rash
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
The goal of this clinical trial is to assess the efficacy and safety of a Healing Ointment in infants 2-24 months with mild to moderate diaper rash. The main question it aims to answer is:
• does a Healing Ointment improve skin texture and smoothness in infants with mild to moderate diaper dermatitis? Participants will use a Healing Ointment on the diaper area with every diaper change, have the Investigator perform efficacy and tolerability assessments, and complete questionnaires regarding subject satisfaction.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Product Efficacy [Week 1, Week 3]
Product efficacy will be measured by Investigator's evaluation of skin's tactile smoothness, visual skin texture, and diaper dermatitis. Skin smoothness (tactile) and skin texture will be measured on a 10-point modified Griffith's scale, where 0 is the best possible condition and 9 is the worst possible condition, and diaper dermatitis will be measured on a 5-point scale, where 0 is the best possible condition and 4 is the worst possible condition. A decrease in scores indicates an improvement.
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Subject Satisfaction [Day 1, Week 1, Week 3]
To evaluate subject satisfaction using a Self-Assessment Questionnaire. Questionnaires will be tabulated; and the frequency and percentage of all response options will be reported for each question and time point. For questionnaire inquiries without baseline response data, a binomial (sign) test will be performed to test if the proportion of the combined designated favorable responses is equal to the combined designated unfavorable responses for each applicable question. A higher percentage of favorable responses with a significant p value indicates positive subject perceptions of the study treatment.
- Product Tolerability [Week 1, Week 3]
Product tolerability will be measured by Investigator's evaluation of dryness, peeling, and edema on a 4-point analog scale, with half-point scores used as necessary to better describe the clinical condition, where 0 indicates parameter is not present and 3 indicates parameter is severe. A decrease in scores or lack of significant increase indicates tolerability/safety of the treatment product.
