The primary objective of the study is to assess the safety and tolerability of single and multiple doses of topically applied SBE in patients with chronic leg wounds. A secondary objective of the study is to assess changes in bacterial burden in the leg wound after treatment with SBE.', 'detailedDescription': 'The study enrolled subjects with chronic leg wounds, i.e., the intended target population for SBE.\n\nThe first part of the study aimed to identify the highest tolerated dose of SBE in a randomised, double-blind, and placebo-controlled manner with sequential evaluation of 4 single ascending doses. As a precaution, sentinel and staggered dosing was applied in the single-dose groups: the safety of two subjects treated on two different days (at least one of whom was treated with SBE) was reviewed before commencing dosing of the remaining subjects in a single-dose group (sentinel dosing), with an interval of at least 1 hour between the dosing of different subjects (staggered dosing). The starting dose of 500 µg/mL HOCl + 1% HAc was based on previous knowledge concerning the MIC and MBC of SBE and the results obtained in a 28-day, repeated-dose toxicology study in minipigs. The latter indicated that up to 1000 µg/mL + 3% HAc (the highest dose tested) was well-tolerated. Choosing 500 µg/mL HOCl + 1% HAc as the starting dose in the current study provided a safety factor of 2 for HOCl and a safety factor of 3 for HAc. The highest well-tolerated dose of SBE in the non-clinical toxicology study was chosen as the highest single dose to be evaluated in the current study. Dose-escalation steps in the single-dose groups were conservatively defined with escalation factors ranging from 1 to 2. Prior to dose escalation, blinded results were evaluated by the Safety Monitoring Committee (SMC).\n\nThe second part of the study aimed to evaluate the safety and tolerability of multiple dosing of SBE. The multiple-dose groups tested different dosing regimens with formulations determined by the SMC based on the safety and tolerability of the formulations evaluated in the first part of the study. Three multiple-dose groups (once-, twice-, and thrice-daily administrations) were planned.'}, 'eligibilityModule': {'sex': 'ALL', 'stdAges': ['ADULT', 'OLDER_ADULT'], 'minimumAge': '18 Years', 'healthyVolunteers': False, 'eligibilityCriteria': 'INCLUSION CRITERIA\n\nTo be eligible for this study, patients must fulfil all of the following criteria:\n\n1.

Both molecules, exhibit broad-spectrum antimicrobial activity at the concentrations present in SBE. The antimicrobial effect of HOCl is rapid and powerful by acting on and disrupting the function of key microbial molecules such as proteins, lipids, and nucleic acids, while remaining safe to mammalian cells and not promoting the emergence of new resistant microbes. Moreover, HOCl is active against biofilms, and some studies suggest that HOCl may also increase oxygenation of the wound site leading to improved healing.', 'armGroupLabels': ['Group 1', 'Group 2', 'Group 3', 'Group 4', 'Group 5', 'Group 6', 'Group 7']}, {'name': 'Sterile isotonic saline (Groups 1 to 4)', 'type': 'DEVICE', 'otherNames': ['Irriflex'], 'description': 'Sterile isotonic saline was used as placebo because it is part of standard of care, used as an irrigation solution at dressing change and has the same appearance as SBE', 'armGroupLabels': ['Group 1', 'Group 2', 'Group 3', 'Group 4']}]}, 'contactsLocationsModule': {'locations': [{'zip': '2400', 'city': 'Copenhagen', 'country': 'Denmark', 'facility': 'Bispebjerg University Hospital', 'geoPoint': {'lat': 55.67594, 'lon': 12.56553}}], 'overallOfficials': [{'name': 'David Peick Sonne, MD; PhD', 'role': 'PRINCIPAL_INVESTIGATOR', 'affiliation': 'Bispebjerg and Frederiksberg Hospital'}, {'name': 'Glenn Gundersen, PhD', 'role': 'STUDY_DIRECTOR', 'affiliation': 'SoftOx Solutions A/S'}]}, 'ipdSharingStatementModule': {'ipdSharing': 'NO'}, 'sponsorCollaboratorsModule': {'leadSponsor': {'name': 'SoftOx Solutions AS', 'class': 'INDUSTRY'}, 'responsibleParty': {'type': 'SPONSOR'}}}}
