A Clinical Study to Assess the Efficacy and Safety of a Healing Ointment on Diaper Rash

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.

Treatment and study plan

"Cetaphil Healing Ointment"

Drug

Subjects will use "Cetaphil Healing Ointment" on the diaper rash area with every diaper change

Primary outcomes

  1. Skin Texture

    Time frame: Week 1, Week 3

    Product efficacy will be measured by Investigator's evaluation of visual skin texture. Skin texture was measured on a 10-point modified Griffith's scale, where 0 is the best possible condition and 9 is the worst possible condition.

  2. Skin Smoothness

    Time frame: Week 1, Week 3

    Product efficacy will be measured by Investigator's evaluation of skin's tactile smoothness. Skin smoothness (tactile) was measured on a 10-point modified Griffith's scale, where 0 is the best possible condition and 9 is the worst possible condition.

  3. Diaper Dermatitis

    Time frame: Week 1, Week 3

    Product efficacy will be measured by Investigator's evaluation of diaper dermatitis. Diaper dermatitis was measured on a 5-point scale, where 0 is the best possible condition and 4 is the worst possible condition.

Secondary outcomes

  1. Subject Satisfaction

    Time frame: Day 1

    A Self-Assessment Questionnaire was used to evaluate subject satisfaction. Scale consisted of 5 questions at every follow-up visit and parents selected level of satisfaction for each question from/to strongly agree, agree, neither, disagree, and strongly disagree.

  2. Subject Satisfaction

    Time frame: Week 1

    A Self-Assessment Questionnaire was used to evaluate subject satisfaction. Scale consisted of 5 questions at every follow-up visit and parents selected level of satisfaction for each question from/to strongly agree, agree, neither, disagree, and strongly disagree.

  3. Subject Satisfaction

    Time frame: Week 3

    A Self-Assessment Questionnaire was used to evaluate subject satisfaction. Scale consisted of 5 questions at every follow-up visit and parents selected level of satisfaction for each question from/to strongly agree, agree, neither, disagree, and strongly disagree.

  4. Dryness

    Time frame: Week 1, Week 3

    Product tolerability was measured by Investigator's evaluation of dryness 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.

  5. Peeling

    Time frame: Week 1, Week 3

    Product tolerability was measured by Investigator's evaluation of peeling 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.

  6. Edema

    Time frame: Week 1, Week 3

    Product tolerability was measured by Investigator's evaluation of 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.
