The pH of a 5% v/v solution is 5.0 to 7.0 of OROCLENSE and ORO-CLEAR (0.12% Chlorhexidine Gluconate Oral Rinse). Both products are available in 4 L containers impermeable to light. The product will be dispensed in 500 ml bottles for each patient. Patients will be provided with a measuring cup. 5.2 Treatment Regimen Rinse with 15 ml of solution for 30 (thirty) seconds, then expectorate. Use twice daily after breakfast and before bedtime and do not eat or drink for 30 minutes after treatment. This is to be recorded on a patient compliance sheet.

Brief Summary

Title: Non-inferiority efficacy study of 2 different formulations of 0.12% Chlorhexidine gluconate oral rinse with (Oroclense) and without alcohol (Oroclear) for treatment of gingivitis. Short Title Non-inferiority Efficacy Oroclense and Oroclear. Protocol Number ORO-BIOEQ-2010 Version: 01 Phase Non-inferiority Efficacy Methodology Double Blind, Randomized, Parallel Study Duration 6 months with interim evaluation at 3 months Study Center(s) Multi-center Objectives Non-inferiority efficacy comparison of Oroclear and Oroclense in the treatment of gingivitis. Number of Subjects 120 recruitment with estimate of 20% potential drop out; 96 evaluable subjects required Diagnosis and Main Inclusion Criteria Gingivitis Study Product, Dose, Route, Regimen Oroclear 15 ml 2 x day for 6 months of 0.12% Chlorhexidine gluconate Duration of administration 6 months Reference therapy Oroclense formula (equivalent to US Peridex formulation) containing alcohol is the globally established golden standard for efficacy. A placebo arm will be included as well. Statistical Methodology Pearson?s chi-square test for statistical significance. P=0.05

Conclusion--Both Oroclear and Oroclense antimicrobial mouth rinses were considered as safe and

effective when used in conjunction with regular self-performed oral hygiene measures

in patients with moderate gingivitis. Oroclear was found non-inferior to Oroclense in

treatment of gingivitis.

 No statistical significant difference in mean change of GI, PI, PBI, and CI

were observed from Screening to Month 4 and 7 visits between 3 treatment

groups. Due to limited sample size, the study did not have sufficient power to

detect differences between the active treatments and placebo in any of the

efficacy endpoints.

 Significant reduction in mean GI, PI, PBI, and CI scores were observed from

Screening to Month 4 and 7 visits within all 3 treatment groups. None of the

subject had severe stain index score at Screening, Month 4, and 7 visits.

 Four (3.4%) subjects reported 5 AEs - aphthous stomatitis, mouth ulceration,

gingival bleeding, paraesthesia oral and tongue disorder and all were

recovered.

 No deaths or SAE was reported.
