Plain English summary of protocol

Background and study aims
Negative-pressure wound therapy (NPWT) is a technique which uses a vacuum dressing to promote healing in acute or chronic wounds. The aim of this study is to compare two treatment sequences involving Algosteril.

Who can participate?
Adults treated by NPWT for 7 days and who need to be treated by NPWT for another 4 days minimum. They must be able to self-assess their pain.

What does the study involve?
Participants will be randomly allocated to one of two sequences:
Sequence A = Treatment at day 0 = Foam + Algostéril; Treatment at day 2 = Foam only
Sequence B : Treatment at day 0 = Foam only; Treatment at day 2 = Foam + Algostéril

What are the possible benefits and risks of participating?
Not provided at time of registration

Where is the study run from?
A number of French hospitals. The lead centre is CHU La Milétrie, Poitiers (France).

When is the study starting and how long is it expected to run for?
From October 2014 to April 2015

Who is funding the study?
Laboratoires Brothier (France)

Study typeTreatment
Scientific titleA randomized clinical trial assessing the pain when withdrawal of Negative Pressure Wound Therapy: Algostéril + Foam vs Foam only
Study objectivesDemonstrate that pain is alleviated by Algostéril.
Ethics approval(s)French Ethics Committee (Comité de Protection des Personnes Ouest III), 02/06/2014.
French Drug Administration (Agence Nationale de Sécurité du Médicament), 11/04/2014.
Protocol N°14.03.18.
Health condition(s) or problem(s) studiedPatient with loss of wound exudate that needs to be treated with Negative Pressure Wound dressing.
InterventionAfter 7 days of Negative Pressure Wound dressing, randomisation is performed in a 1:1 ratio allocation.
According to the randomisation sequence, patient has to be treated with Algostéril + Foam during 2 days then he/she has to be treated with the foam only during 2 days or patient has to be treated with the foam only during 2 days then he/she has to be treated with Algostéril + foam during 2 days.
Intervention typeOther
Primary outcome measureAssessment of pain using a scale from 0 to 10 at day 2 and day 4
Secondary outcome measures1. Assessment of bleeding with a 5-level scale - day 2 and day 4
2. Quantity of exudate in the Negative Pressure Wound Dressing reservoir - day 2 and day 4
3. Assesment of safety - throughout the trial
