Condition(s) targeted: Periodontitis

Intervention: PerioChip Plus (Flurbiprofen +Chlorhexidine ), Flurbiprofen Chip, PerioChip (Chlorhexidine ) and Placebo Chip (Drug)

Phase: Phase 2

Status: Completed

Summary

The purpose of this study is to determine the effect of the placement of a PerioChip Plus

(flurbiprofen/chlorhexidine - FBP/CHX) formulation versus PerioChip (chlorhexidine)

formulation versus Flurbiprofen Chip formulation versus Placebo Chip formulation on probing pocket depth (PPD)

Clinical Details

Official title: The Efficacy and Safety of PerioChip Plus (Flurbiprofen/Chlorhexidine) Formulation in the Therapy of Adult Periodontitis

Study design: Allocation: Randomized, Endpoint Classification: Safety/Efficacy Study, Intervention Model: Parallel Assignment, Masking: Double Blind (Subject, Investigator), Primary Purpose: Treatment

Primary outcome: At 24 weeks, relative to baseline, the mean reductions in probing pocket depth (PPD) will be used as primary efficacy endpoint. Additional primary endpoints are clinical attachment levels (CAL) and bleeding on probing (BOP) in the target pockets selected

Secondary outcome: PPD measurements at 6, 12 and 18 weeks will be used as secondary endpoints. Additional secondary endpoints are clinical attachment levels (CAL) and bleeding on probing (BOP) in the target pockets selected at screening, measured at weeks 6, 12 and 18.

Detailed description: This is an 80 subjects, single-center, randomized, double-blinded, parallel, 4-arm clinical study (25 subjects in the PerioChip Plus and PerioChip arms and 15 subjects in the Flurbiprofen Chip and Placebo Chip arms). At 24 weeks, relative to baseline, the mean reductions in probing pocket depth (PPD) will be used as primary efficacy endpoint. Additional primary endpoints are clinical attachment levels (CAL) and bleeding on probing (BOP) in the target pockets selected at screening, measured at weeks 24. PPD measurements at 6, 12 and 18 weeks will be used as secondary endpoints. Additional secondary endpoints are clinical attachment levels (CAL) and bleeding on probing (BOP) in the target pockets selected at screening, measured at weeks 6, 12 and 18.

Eligibility

Criteria:

Inclusion Criteria:

adequate method of birth control during the study.

selected at the time of screening. Exclusion Criteria:

investigator) influences the outcome of the study.

- Presence of orthodontic appliances or any removable appliance that impinges on the

tissues being assessed.

- History of allergy to chlorhexidine, flurbiprofen or to other non-steroidal

anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs).

- Subjects taking diphenylhydantoin, nifedepine and/or cyclosporine, which might

influence the pattern of tissue response.

- Subject treated with non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) within 14 days

prior to entry into the study and through out the study duration.

- Presence of the following conditions: Type 1 diabetes, major recurrent aphtae,

stomatitis and related oral pathologies.

- The presence of any medical or psychiatric condition or any other condition that in

the opinion of the investigator could affect the successful participation of the subject in the study.

- Subject participates in any other clinical study 30 days prior to the start of the

study and through out the study duration.

- Subject uses chlorhexidine oral rinses/ mouthwashes on a regular basis.
