Clinical Trials Experience
Because clinical trials are conducted under widely varying conditions, adverse reaction rates observed in the clinical trials of a drug cannot be directly compared to rates in the clinical trials of another drug and may not reflect the rates observed in clinical practice.
The safety of Swabplus Piercing Care Swabs™ has been evaluated in 10 clinical trials, five in adults and five in pediatric patients.
The five adult clinical trials consisted of a randomized, double-blind, parallel-arm, sham-placebo controlled Phase 3 trial that enrolled 693 patients, two randomized, double-blind, crossover design, sham-placebo controlled Phase 1 trials that enrolled 455 patients, and two open-label studies that enrolled 44 patients. A total of 742 adults received an active treatment with an active treatment that delivered a 0.5 mg dose of Swabplus Piercing Care Swabs, while 775 received placebo.
The five pediatric clinical trials consisted of five randomized, double-blind, parallel-arm, sham-placebo controlled trials in which 1761 patients, ages 3 to 18, received either Swabplus Piercing Care Swabs™ or a sham placebo device. A total of 906 pediatric patients received active treatment, while 855 received placebo.
Application Site Reaction
The application site was specifically assessed for four categories of skin site reaction (erythema, edema, pruritus, and petechiae).
In adults, erythema occurred in 67.3% of Swabplus Piercing Care Swabs™-treated patients, and in 25.0% of placebo-treated patients. Petechiae occurred in 46.4% of Swabplus Piercing Care Swabs™-treated patients, and in 7.0% of placebo-treated patients.

Adverse Reactions
Amongst the 742 adult patients receiving active treatment and 775 adult patients receiving sham placebo treatment in the 5 adult studies, the percentage of adult patients with any adverse reactions was 3.9% in the active-treated patients and 4.9% in the sham placebo treated patients.
Most adverse reactions were application-site related (i.e., hypoaesthesia (0% active, 0.5% sham placebo), burning (0.54% active, 0.4% sham placebo), and venipuncture site hemorrhage (0.4% active, 1.7% sham placebo)).
