Beta-glucan cream added to standard skin care for IAD in hospitalized adults

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

In this interventional study, hospitalized adults with IAD will receive standard skin care with or without a 0.5% beta-glucan cream (Soothing Beta Cream) to see if the cream improves visible skin severity, accelerates healing, and reduces discomfort. The trial will compare outcomes using the Ghent Global IAD Monitoring Tool (GLOBIAD-M) and patient-reported symptoms. Safety and tolerability of the cream will also be monitored. Participants will be followed during their hospital stay, with assessments of skin condition and comfort.

Why it matters
