Validation of Novel Treatment for Incontinence-Related Skin Damage
FY 2024-25 · 2024-06-01
Summary
Three studies will be conducted; study 1 is a pilot that aims to de-risk studies 2 and 3 by validating a novel monitoring tool, the IAD-ITD-M, for nurses to assess and track moisture-associated skin damage (MASD) caused by incontinence, distinguishing it from other conditions. Studies 2 and 3 evaluate the safety and efficacy of a proprietary cream (DermaShield) – containing a natural plant extract - in treating MASD from diarrhea or fecal incontinence, hypothesizing improved healing compared to the standard of care.

Description (French)
Trois études seront menées : l’étude 1 est un projet pilote qui vise à réduire les risques des études 2 et 3 en validant un nouvel outil de surveillance, l’IAD-ITD-M, destiné aux infirmières pour évaluer et suivre les lésions cutanées associées à l’humidité (MASD) causées par l’incontinence, en les distinguant d’autres affections. Les études 2 et 3 évaluent l’innocuité et l’efficacité d’une crème brevetée (DermaShield) — contenant un extrait naturel de plante — dans le traitement des lésions cutanées associées à l’humidité causées par la diarrhée ou l’incontinence fécale, en posant l’hypothèse d’une amélioration de la cicatrisation par rapport à la norme de soins.
