Trial Outcomes & Findings for Povidone-Iodine for Nasal Decolonization (NCT NCT05529173)

NCT ID: NCT05529173

Last Updated: 2024-11-13

Results Overview

The difference in a number of S. aureus/MRSA CFU in nasal swab specimens between before and after the study drug/placebo application in patients with a positive for S. aureus/MRSA pre-interventional nasal swab specimen. The change (Δ) is calculated as the value at the baseline time point minus the value at the later time point. Positive values represent a decrease in CFU, whereas negative values represent an increase in CFU.

Baseline Characteristics

Row population differs from the overall as nasal samples of 7 participants from the treatment group and 6 from the placebo group were not analyzed due to shipment delay or other reasons.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: 1, 2, and 3 hours after application of Povidone-Iodine or saline solution

Population: Nasal samples (NS) taken from 42 participants out of 95 assigned to the treatment group, and 47 out of 97 assigned to the placebo group that tested positive for S. aureus before the intervention were analyzed at every following time point: 1, 2, and 3 hours after the intervention (AI). NS taken from 32 participants out of 95 assigned to the treatment group, and 35 out of 97 assigned to the placebo group were positive for MRSA at baseline and were analyzed for MRSA at 1,2, and 3 hours AI.

The difference in a number of S. aureus/MRSA CFU in nasal swab specimens between before and after the study drug/placebo application in patients with a positive for S. aureus/MRSA pre-interventional nasal swab specimen. The change (Δ) is calculated as the value at the baseline time point minus the value at the later time point. Positive values represent a decrease in CFU, whereas negative values represent an increase in CFU.
