Clinical Study of Minocycline Hydrochloride Injectable Hydrogel for the Treatment of Periodontitis
80 participantsStarted 2026-05-01
Plain-language summary
This study aims to construct and systematically evaluate a multifunctional synergistic drug delivery system based on a hyaluronic acid-nanoclay composite hydrogel to achieve integrated treatment of periodontitis encompassing "infection control, inflammation regulation, and bone regeneration promotion." Through material design, in vitro functional validation, and in vivo efficacy evaluation, the study will elucidate the intrinsic relationships and synergistic mechanisms among "material structure, controlled drug release, and biological effects" within this system, thereby providing a theoretical basis and experimental foundation for the development of smart periodontal regenerative materials with clinical translational potential.

AI-rewrites the medical criteria so a patient or caregiver can understand them. Always confirm with the trial site.
Inclusion Criteria:
* Clinical Diagnosis: Meets the 2018 International Classification of Periodontal Diseases, diagnosed with Stage III or IV periodontitis.
* Bone Defect Characteristics: At least one affected tooth presents with a deep periodontal pocket (PPD ≥5 mm), and CBCT imaging confirms the presence of significant vertical bone resorption or angular bone defects (these defect types are most suitable for in-situ hydrogel filling and guided regeneration).
* Age and General Condition: Aged between 18 and 70 years, any gender, generally in good systemic health.
Exclusion Criteria:
* Systemic Interference with Bone Metabolism: Presence of poorly controlled diabetes (HbA1c \> 7%), osteoporosis, or long-term use of medications affecting bone metabolism such as bisphosphonates or glucocorticoids within the past six months.
* Local Anatomical Limitations: The affected tooth has a vertical root fracture, severe periapical pathology, or a residual root that is deemed non-restorable and without preservation value.
* Factors Interfering with Healing: Heavy smokers (average \> 10 cigarettes per day), as impaired microcirculation can significantly compromise the biological effects of the hydrogel.
* Special Physiological Periods: Pregnant or breastfeeding women.
* Drug Allergy: Known allergy to minocycline (MH), hyaluronic acid (HA), or similar chemical components.
Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?
Generated to help you prepare — always confirm anything about your own eligibility and care with the study team and your doctor.
Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
