Study Endpoints

Primary Endpoints

Change From Baseline in Overall Macpherson Modification of the Lobene Stain Index (MLSI) at 8 Weeks.
Baseline, Week 8 post treatment administration

An assessment of the area and intensity of dental stain on the study teeth was performed using the MLSI to evaluate ranking order in extrinsic dental stain removal or reduction of test product 1, test product 2, reference product 1, reference product 2; after usage for 8 weeks, twice daily brushing. The intensity of stain was scored separately for the gingival and body areas of each assessable tooth on a scale of 0 to 3 (0 - no stain, 1- light stain, 2 - moderate stain, 3 - heavy stain). The area of stain was scored separately for the gingival and body areas of each assessable tooth on the following scale: 0 - no stain; 1 - stain up to 1/3 of the area affected; 2- stain between 1/3 and 2/3 of the area affected; and 3 - stain more than 2/3 of area affected. Overall MLSI was calculated by multiplying scores of intensity and area, and was thus analyzed on a scale of 0 (best score) to 9 (worst score).

Frequently asked questions about 5% KNO3/ 0.2542% NaF dentifrice with 0.5% spherical silica

What is 5% KNO3/ 0.2542% NaF dentifrice with 0.5% spherical silica?

It is an experimental toothpaste formulation containing 5% potassium nitrate, 0.2542% sodium fluoride, and 0.5% spherical silica. It is being studied for oral hygiene, specifically for stain and plaque removal. It is a small molecule dentifrice developed by GSK plc and is not a marketed consumer product.

What is 5% KNO3/ 0.2542% NaF dentifrice with 0.5% spherical silica used for?

It is being studied for oral hygiene, with the clinical program focused on stain and plaque removal. The single Phase 2 trial enrolled healthy adult volunteers aged 18 and older in the United States. It is an investigational dentifrice, not an approved treatment for any condition.

Who makes 5% KNO3/ 0.2542% NaF dentifrice with 0.5% spherical silica?

GSK plc, which trades under the ticker GSK, is the developer of this dentifrice. The company sponsored the Phase 2 study evaluating the formulation. No other developer or partner is associated with the asset in the clinical record.

What phase is 5% KNO3/ 0.2542% NaF dentifrice with 0.5% spherical silica in?

It is in Phase 2. One Phase 2 trial has been completed, and no trials are currently active. The study was randomized, double blind, and active controlled, and it enrolled 123 participants. The formulation remains investigational and is not an approved product.

What clinical trial is 5% KNO3/ 0.2542% NaF dentifrice with 0.5% spherical silica in?

The asset has been studied in NCT03267511, titled A Study to Investigate the Stain and Plaque Removal Capability of Two Experimental Potassium Nitrate Dentifrices. That Phase 2 trial is completed, enrolled 123 healthy volunteers aged 18 and older in the United States, and used an active-controlled, randomized, double-blind design.

Is 5% KNO3/ 0.2542% NaF dentifrice with 0.5% spherical silica the same as 5% KNO3?

Yes. 5% KNO3 is a shortened name for the same asset, which is also written as 5% KNO3 / 0.2542% NaF dentifrice with 0.5% spherical silica. The full name reflects the potassium nitrate, sodium fluoride, and spherical silica components of the formulation. Searches for either name refer to the same GSK dentifrice.
