Endpoints

Primary endpoints

  • {"endpoint_text":"- Number of patients in each group (interventional: benzoyl peroxide 5% for 5 days or control) with a positive Cutibacterium acnes sample at the dermis.","definition_or_measurement_approach":"Presence of a positive Cutibacterium acnes sample in the dermis per patient (count of patients with positive dermal CA sample in each arm)."}

Secondary endpoints

  • {"endpoint_text":"- Average number of positive intraoperative Cutibacterium acnes samples taken at the cutaneous level before and after cutaneous antisepsis of the operating area before incision, fat and capsular. The skin sample at inclusion will allow the initial cutaneous Cutibacterium acnes bacterial load to be compared between both groups","definition_or_measurement_approach":"Mean number of positive intraoperative CA samples per anatomical site (cutaneous, fat, capsular) before and after antisepsis; baseline skin sample used to compare initial bacterial load between groups."}
  • {"endpoint_text":"- Average number of positive Cutibacterium acnes skin samples before and after alcoholic surgical site antisepsis (5% alcoholic iodine povidone) in each of the two study groups","definition_or_measurement_approach":"Mean number of positive skin CA samples pre- and post-alcoholic povidone-iodine antisepsis in each arm."}
  • {"endpoint_text":"- Incidence of Cutibacterium acnes shoulder prosthesis infections up to 2 years after shoulder prosthesis implantation in both study groups","definition_or_measurement_approach":"Incidence rate of prosthetic shoulder infections due to CA within 2 years post-implantation in each group."}
  • {"endpoint_text":"- Determination of phylotype, molecular typing by Multi-Locus Sequence Typing and Single-Locus Sequence Typing techniques and comparison of Cutibacterium acnes strains by molecular biology and characterization of antibiotic resistance","definition_or_measurement_approach":"Molecular typing (phylotype, MLST, SLST) and comparative analysis of CA strains, including antibiotic resistance profiling."}
  • {"endpoint_text":"- Evaluation of the skin tolerance of the topical application from the local tolerance scale (irritation, erythema and desquamation), at the time of inclusion and at D0","definition_or_measurement_approach":"Assessment using a local tolerance scale measuring irritation, erythema and desquamation at inclusion and on day 0."}
