BACKGROUND AND RATIONALE 
Post-surgical wound care is imperative to promote rapid healing without complications. The key 
principle of wound management is to create an occlusive, clean, and moist environment at the 
wound site to reduce the possibility of infection and facilitate the wound healing phases.1 Two (2) 
common topical applications to achieve this optimal condition are topical antibiotics and over-the-
counter (OTC) petrolatum-based ointments. While both methods have comparable wound-
healing properties, topical antibiotics have been shown to potentially cause drug resistance or 
allergic contact dermatitis.2-4 For this, dermatologists often opt for petrolatum-based ointment 
application for wound healing.   
Cetaphil® Healing Ointment (Galderma, Fort Worth, TX) is an OTC skin protectant that contains 
71.5% petrolatum, shea butter to soften, smooth and hydrate, as well as vitamin E to help support 
moisture barrier function. The Healing Ointment has been clinically proven to hydrate the skin’s 
natural barrier for 48 hours while quickly protecting and healing dry, irritated skin for visible 
improvement in 1 week. The product is also hypoallergenic, non-comedogenic, gentle on sensitive 
skin and accepted by the National Eczema Association. These beneficial properties make 
Cetaphil® Healing Ointment an ideal candidate as a post-surgical wound care. This study is to 
investigate safety and efficacy of Cetaphil® Healing Ointment in wound healing after dermatologic 
procedures.

STATISTICAL ANALYSIS 
A descriptive statistical summary will be provided for clinical grading and tolerability 
assessments. The descriptive summery will be performed for each parameter, including N, 
mean, median, standard deviations, minimum, and maximum of values at all applicable time 
points.  
Mean of the change from baseline (pre-procedure) will be estimated at applicable post-baseline 
time point. The null hypothesis, that the mean change from baseline (pre-procedure) is zero, will 
be tested using methods described in the Statistical Analysis Plan table. 
The following will be calculated and reported for each evaluation parameter at applicable post-
baseline (pre-procedure) time point: 
Percent mean change from baseline = 
(postprocedure or visit mean score – baseline preprocedure mean score)
baseline preprocedure mean score
 x 100 
Percent of subjects improved/worsened = 
(number of subjects improved/worsened from baseline preprocedure)
total number of subjects
 x 100 
Questionnaires will be tabulated, and the percentage of all response options (favorable and 
unfavorable) will be reported for each question and each timepoint.

12. 
ADVERSE EVENTS 
Throughout the course of the study, all adverse events will be monitored and reported on an 
adverse event CRF/eCRF without omitting any requested and known information. When AEs 
occur, the main concern is the safety of the study subjects. At time of the informed consent 
signature, each subject must be given the name and phone number of investigational site 
personnel for reporting AEs and medical emergencies. 
At each visit, after the subject has had the opportunity to spontaneously mention any problems, 
the investigator should inquire about AEs by asking the standard questions: 


 
 
Page 18 of 29 
Protocol GLI.04.US.SL.017 
CONFIDENTIAL 
Protocol Version 1:  
This document contains confidential, proprietary information. 
• 
“Have you had any health problems since your last study visit?” 
• 
“Have there been any changes in the medicines you take since your last study visit?” 
AEs should be reported for any clinically relevant change, as determined by the Investigator, in 
concomitant medication(s) that is the result of an untoward (unfavorable and unintended) 
change from baseline in a subject's medical health following exposure to the study treatment. 
Changes from baseline in any protocol-specific parameter evaluated during the study are to be 
reviewed by the Investigator. In addition, the subject’s responses to any questionnaire utilized 
during the study are to be reviewed by the investigator. Any untoward (unfavorable and 
unintended) change from baseline in a protocol-specific parameter or question response that is 
clinically relevant, in the opinion of the investigator, is to be reported as an AE. These clinically 
relevant changes will be reported regardless of causality. 
12.1 
Definitions 
12.1.1. Adverse Events (AE) 
An adverse event (AE) is defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a subject taking part in 
the clinical study, and which does not necessarily require a causal relationship with the 
investigational product and/or a clinical trial procedure.  
An AE can be any unfavourable and unintended sign (including an abnormal laboratory value), 
symptom, or disease temporally associated with the use of the investigational product, whether 
or not related to this product. 
When an AE has a likely or very likely causal relationship with the investigational product and/or 
a clinical trial procedure, it is named undesirable effect or related AE (see Section 3).  
12.1.2. Local tolerability signs and symptoms (only applicable for cosmetic safety studies) 
In cosmetic studies, local skin tolerability includes some expected functional and/or physical 
signs on the application area, observed by the Investigator or reported by the subjects (see 
Appendix). Those signs are collected in the final report based on scales or a diary. If the 
severity of a local skin tolerability sign or symptom, is such that the product application is 
permanently discontinued and/or a corrective concomitant treatment (except moisturizer or 
emollient) is prescribed, it is recorded as an undesirable effect (related AE). 
12.1.3. Serious Adverse Events (SAE) and serious undesirable effect/related SAE 
A Serious Adverse Event (SAE) is any adverse event which results in death, is life-threatening, 
requires inpatient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization, results in persistent 
or significant disability/incapacity, or is a congenital anomaly/birth defect.  
Notes: 
The term “immediate vital risk” refers to an event in which the subject was at risk of death at the 
time of the event; it does not refer to an event that hypothetically might have caused death if it 
was more severe. 


 
 
Page 19 of 29 
Protocol GLI.04.US.SL.017 
CONFIDENTIAL 
Protocol Version 1:  
This document contains confidential, proprietary information. 
Inpatient hospitalization is considered to have occurred if the subject has had to stay for a night 
at the hospital.  Hospitalization solely for the purpose of a diagnostic test (even if related to an 
AE), elective hospitalization for an intervention that was already planned before subject enrolment 
in the clinical trial, admission to a day-care facility, social admission (e.g., if the subject has no 
place to sleep), or administrative admission (e.g., for a yearly examination) should not be 
considered as a SAE. 
A serious undesirable effect/related SAE is defined as any SAE which the Investigator classifies 
as having a reasonable possibility for a causal relationship with the investigational product 
and/or the clinical trial procedure. 
12.2 
Severity Assessment 
For all AEs occurring during the clinical trial, the Investigator is to classify and report the intensity 
of AEs using the following definitions as a guideline: 
- 
Mild: awareness of signs and symptoms, but easily tolerated 
- 
Moderate: discomfort, enough to cause interference with usual activity 
- 
Severe: incapacitating, with inability to work or perform usual activity. 
12.3 
Causality Assessment 
The Investigator is to assess the causal relationship (causality) between an adverse event and 
the investigational product and/or the clinical trial procedure according to the following definitions 
(Decision of 25 November 2013 on Guideline on Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 1223/2009 
(2013/674/EU) - Causality assessment of undesirable effect caused by cosmetic products): 
• 
Very likely 
• 
Likely 
• 
Not clearly attributable 
• 
Unlikely 
• 
Excluded 
Medical judgment should be used to determine the relationship, considering all relevant factors 
including the pattern of reaction, temporal relationships, positive de-challenge or re-challenge, 
relevant medical history, and confounding factors such as co-medication or concurrent diseases. 
12.4 
Collection, Management and Reporting Procedures 
The period of collection of adverse events starts from the time of signature of the Informed 
Consent Form (ICF) by the subject (and/or, for subjects who are minor, by the parents/legal 
representatives) until the end of the subject’s participation in the clinical study.  
If a Serious Adverse Event (SAE) is on-going at the final clinical trial visit, it should be followed by 
the Investigator until it has resolved or has reached a stable condition.  
After the subject completes the clinical study, the Investigator should also inform the Sponsor 
(see Sponsor’s contact details below) if he/she becomes aware of an SAE involving a subject 
who has participated in the clinical study.  
At each post-enrollment visit, the Investigator will question the subject about AEs using an open 
non-persuasive question to elicit reporting of AEs, for example “Have you noticed any change in 
your health since the last visit?” Direct questioning and examination will be performed when 
appropriate.

Protocol GLI.04.US.SL.017 
CONFIDENTIAL 
Protocol Version 1:  
This document contains confidential, proprietary information. 
The Investigator will obtain and maintain in the subject’s files all pertinent medical records, and (if 
applicable) information and medical judgment from colleagues who assisted in the treatment and 
follow-up of the subject.  If necessary, the Investigator will contact the subject’s personal physician 
or hospital staff to obtain further details.  
As a minimum, Investigators are requested to report in the Case Report Form (CRF) and 
in the report all related adverse events (i.e. undesirable effects) and all Serious Adverse 
Events, whether related or not. 
12.4.1. Management and reporting procedures for undesirable effects (i.e. related adverse 
events 
Undesirable effects should be recorded in the CRF and summarized in the report in a summary 
table with at minimum the subject number, AE number, AE diagnosis or signs and symptoms, 
location, date of onset, seriousness, severity, action taken, relationship, date of resolution and 
concomitant treatment associated as well as a detailed narrative of the event. 
In addition, based on his/her medical judgment, the Investigator will assess whether an 
undesirable effect requires immediate (i.e. within 24 hours) reporting to the Sponsor. In such 
cases, the summary table will be sent to the Sponsor, along with the AE narrative and any other 
relevant information (concomitant treatments, product weighing, …).  
All undesirable effects should be appropriately documented, i.e. any relevant information such as 
demographics, medical history and concomitant therapies should be recorded in the CRF. 
The Investigator is to monitor and record the progress of the adverse effect until the last subject’s 
study visit. 
The Investigator is to update the AE narrative as appropriate, each time follow-up information is 
collected and when the final outcome of the adverse effect is known. 
12.4.2. Management and reporting procedures for Serious Adverse Events  
The Investigator is to take the following steps: 
1. Take prompt and appropriate medical action, if necessary. The safety of clinical trial 
subjects is the first priority 
2. Ensure the AE is classified as an SAE. Immediately inform the Sponsor’s representative 
of the event by email or fax (see contact details below) and discuss further actions to be 
taken: 
e-mail: pharmacovigilance@galderma.com 
3. Complete the Serious Adverse Event (SAE) form provided by the Sponsor’s 
representative Within 24 hours, fax or send by e-mail to the Sponsor’s representative 
the completed SAE form, accompanied any other relevant information (e.g. test results or 
medical records).  
4. Monitor, record and send to Sponsor’s representative the progress of the event until it 
resolves or reaches a stable outcome, with or without sequelae (send the updated SAE 
form with follow-up information and any other relevant information to Sponsor’s 
representative). 
5. Obtain and maintain in the subject’s file all pertinent medical records, information, and 
medical judgments from colleagues who assisted in the treatment and follow-up of the

subject. If necessary, contact the subject’s personal physician or hospital staff to obtain 
further details. 
6. If applicable, comply with the regulatory requirement(s) related to the reporting of SAEs 
to the Institutional Review Board (IRB) / Independent Ethics Committee (IEC). 
12.5 
Pregnancy 
Pregnancy itself is not to be considered as an adverse event. If a pregnancy occurs during the 
clinical trial, the product application should be stopped immediately, the subject should be 
withdrawn from the clinical study and Sponsor’s representative (see Sponsor’s contact details 
above) should be informed within 24 hours.  
Pregnancy must be recorded as a reason for discontinuation in the exit form of the CRF.  
No specific follow-up of pregnancy is required, except if it is a regulatory requirement in the 
country(ies) where the clinical trial is conducted. 
12.6 
Process for Suspected Allergic Reactions 
In case of a positive reaction (suspicion of allergy) in the clinical study, the Investigator will inform 
the Sponsor if the reaction occurs with the Sponsor’s company product(s) following the procedure 
below. The Investigator will also inform if products other than the Sponsor’s product(s) were 
concomitantly tested in the clinical trial, and if there were positive reaction(s) for these other 
products.  
 
Stop the investigational product. 
 
Take a picture of the affected area and the surrounding skin. 
 
Report the event by email within 24 hours to the Sponsor’s representative (see Sponsor’s 
contact details above). The Sponsor will then contact you to explain the general procedure to 
be followed.  
 
Follow the procedure detailed below: 
1. 
After all signs and symptoms of the event have resolved and after a minimum of at 
least two weeks from last dose application perform a re-challenge test with the 
assigned study product  
2. 
Ensure the subject has not been under any treatment with corticosteroids or 
antihistaminics within the week before testing 
3. 
Ensure that the skin on the back has not been irradiated by the sun or artificial 
ultraviolet sources within the week before testing 
4. 
Apply an appropriate quantity of the study product to fill in the cupule of the test 
chamber and then to the upper part of the back skin (or the inner forearm if more 
appropriate) either at right or left from the central line. If no test chamber is available 
on site, patch test units will be provided by the Sponsor. The use of semi-occlusive 
conditions can be preferred depending on the irritant potential of the study product 
and the intensity of the reaction which was reported. The method to be used should 
be discussed with the Sponsor.  
Choose a skin site that was not previously involved in the inflammatory skin reaction. Cover 
it for 48 hours with a hypoallergenic tape 
5. 
Subject should be informed about avoiding exercise, showers, etc. to keep the test 
system dry

After 48 hours, remove the tests and evaluate the site reactions: 
 
30 minutes after patch test removal (1st reading), 
 
48 hours after patch removal (2nd reading).   
 
72 or 96 hours after patch removal (3rd reading). 
 
Pictures of the tested areas will be taken systematically at each reading and properly documented

9. 
Report the results from the re-challenge test as directed by the Sponsor and document 
with photographs. 
10. In case of absence of reaction after quotation with the ICDRG scale, the subject may 
resume product application, if appropriate. 
11. After quotation with the ICDRG scale, if the re-challenge is positive, equivocal or in 
favour of an irritation, notify the Sponsor immediately. Except specific situations, a new 
series of patch test will be initiated as directed by the Sponsor (with individual 
ingredients at different concentrations and possibly negative and positive controls) 
after a minimum of additional two weeks (but not later than 6 months) and after all 
signs and symptoms have resolved.  The patch tests will be placed on a back skin site 
(or the inner forearm if more appropriate) distant from the site of re-challenge test (e.g. 
at the left upper back skin if the re-challenge test was done on the right). Follow the 
same procedure for the patch test as for the re-challenge.

relevant documents and to allocate their time and the time of their staff to discuss any 
findings/relevant issues. 
13.3 
Institutional Review Board 
This study (protocol, ICF and all addenda) will be reviewed and approved by Sterling IRB. The 
study will not be activated and subjects will not be consented, receive any study products, or 
participate in any study procedures until the IRB has approved the protocol and the ICF. In 
addition, the IRB will review the study before any significant change in the protocol is initiated. 
After each review, the IRB's approval will be documented in a letter to the Investigator and a 
copy of the IRB approval letter will be forwarded to the Sponsor. 
14. 
STUDY CONDUCT CONDISERATIONS 
14.1 
Clinical Monitoring 
The conduct of the study will be closely monitored by representatives of Galderma Laboratories, 
L.P. following GCP, ICH guidelines, applicable SOPs, guidelines, and all local regulations. The 
clinical investigation will be monitored to ensure that:  the rights and well-being of the subjects 
are protected; the reported data are accurate, complete and verifiable from applicable source 
documents; and the study is conducted in accordance with the currently approved protocol and 
any other study agreements, GCP, and all applicable regulatory requirements. The investigator 
will allow the Galderma Laboratories, L.P. representatives to have access to all study records, 
CRF/eCRFs, corresponding subject medical records, and any other documents considered 
source documentation. The investigator also agrees to assist the representatives, if required, 
which can include AE reporting. All study monitoring details will be detailed in the Clinical 
Monitoring Plan. 
14.2 
Data Collection 
Investigators must keep accurate records of all subjects' visits and all procedures done, being 
sure to include all pertinent study related information from which CRF/eCRF data will be 
recorded. Data for this study may be recorded in the subject's chart (e.g. source documents / 
electronic records) or if approved by the Galderma Laboratories, L.P. directly into CRF/eCRFs. 
If electronic records are maintained, the method of verification must be determined in advance 
of starting the study. The process of administering the informed consent must also be 
documented. Any and all side effects and AEs with the concomitant therapies associated must

Protocol GLI.04.US.SL.017 
CONFIDENTIAL 
Protocol Version 1:  
This document contains confidential, proprietary information. 
be thoroughly documented. Results of any diagnostic tests conducted during the study should 
be included in the source documentation. Pertinent telephone conversations with the subjects 
and/or Galderma Laboratories, L.P. concerning the study will be documented and kept on file. 
It is required that the author of an entry in the source documents be identifiable. Direct access to 
all source documentation (medical records) must be allowed for the purpose of verifying that the 
data recorded in the CRF/eCRF are consistent with the original source.  
Only designated individuals may complete the CRF/eCRFs. The principal investigator will 
review the reported data and certify that the CRF/eCRFs are accurate and complete.  
After monitoring has occurred at the clinical site(s) and the CRF/eCRFs have been reviewed, 
additional data clarifications and/or additions may be needed including AE reporting. Data 
clarifications and/or additions are documented and are part of each subject’s CRF/eCRFs. 
14.3 
Record Retention 
The investigator is required to maintain up-to-date, complete regulatory documentation as 
indicated by Galderma Laboratories, L.P. and the investigator’s files will be reviewed as part of 
the ongoing study monitoring. The records must be easily accessible when needed (e.g., for a 
Galderma Laboratories L.P.’s audit or regulatory inspection) and must be available for review in 
conjunction with assessment of the facility, supporting systems, and relevant site personnel. 
Financial information is not subject to regulatory inspection and should be kept separately.  
Galderma Laboratories, L.P. will inform the investigator of the time period for retaining the site 
records in order to comply with all applicable regulatory requirements. The minimum retention 
time will meet the strictest standard applicable to a particular site, as dictated by local 
laws/regulations, Galderma Laboratories, L.P. SOPs, and/or institutional requirements. 
The investigator should take measures to prevent accidental or premature destruction of these 
documents. If the investigator retires, relocates, or for other reasons withdraws from the 
responsibility of keeping the study records, custody must be transferred to a person who will 
accept the responsibility. Galderma Laboratories, L.P. must be notified in writing of the name 
and address of the new custodian. 
14.4 
Changes in Study Conduct/Amendments 
No amendment will be done for modification(s) due to change in logistical or administrative 
aspect of the study (e.g., change in monitors, change of telephone numbers). In such a case, 
the appropriate institution(s) and/or person(s) will be notified of the changes. 
Modification of the protocol is prohibited without prior written agreement in the form of a protocol 
amendment. All amendments will be created by Galderma Laboratories, L.P. and must be 
approved by the IRB prior to implementation except when required to mitigate immediate safety 
risks or when the changes involve only logistical or administrative revisions.  
Amendments may necessitate that the informed consent and other study-related material be 
revised. If the consent form is revised, all Subjects/subjects currently enrolled in the study may 
be required by the IRB to sign the approved, revised informed consent form. 
14.5 
Confidentiality 
All the data provided to the investigator and his/her staff and all data obtained through this 
Galderma Laboratories, L.P. protocol will be regarded as confidential and proprietary in nature
