Feasibility Study for Fibroblast Autologous Skin Grafts

Study Overview

This clinical trial focuses on testing the efficacy of different digital interventions to promote re-engagement in cancer-related long-term follow-up care for adolescent and young adult (AYA) survivors of childhood cancer.

Description

This research is being done to determine if investigators can change skin from one type to another. Specifically, investigators are interested in making normal skin into the thicker skin found on our palms and soles.

Official Title

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Ages Eligible for Study:18 Years to 65 Years
Sexes Eligible for Study:ALL
Accepts Healthy Volunteers:Yes
Standard Ages:ADULT, OLDER_ADULT
Inclusion CriteriaExclusion Criteria
  1. * May be male or female
  2. * Must be between 18 years and 65 years of age
  3. * In the opinion of the investigator, must be medically able to undergo the administration of study material determined by laboratory tests obtained within 7 days before baseline for which the investigator identified no clinically significant abnormality.
  4. * Be able to comprehend the informed consent document and provide consent for participation
  5. * Females of childbearing potential must:
  6. * have a negative pregnancy test at screening
  7. * agree to not become pregnant or breastfeed for the period of the study through 1 month after completion of the study
  8. * be willing to use a reliable form of contraception during the study
  9. * Have healthy skin as determined by the PI or study Nurse Practitioner.
  10. * Be willing and able to comply with the scheduled visits, biopsy/injection procedures, wound care instructions treatment plan, and other study procedures for the duration of the study.
  1. * Having received any investigational drug within 30 days prior to study entry
  2. * An allergy history to any study materials including local anesthetic, dimethyl sulfoxide, human albumin, or bovine constituents, or hetastarch
  3. * Pregnant, lactating, or trying to become pregnant
  4. * A history of keloid formation
  5. * An active nonhealing wound
  6. * Having a significant medical history that the investigator feels is not safe for study participation (for example, some forms of autoimmune conditions, metastatic cancer, infectious diseases such as HIV, Human T-lymphotropic virus (HTLV) I/II, Hepatitis B, Hepatitis C). Biopsies taken from individuals with infections that are not allowed to enter the cell therapy core will make it such that these individuals cannot participate.
  7. * Specifically we will exclude those with autoimmune diseases affecting the skin such as lupus.
  8. * Having current skin diseases (i.e. extreme and active eczema, psoriasis, lichen planus) that the investigator feels is not safe for study participation
  9. * A diagnosis of uncontrolled diabetes
  10. * Active smoker during the study
  11. * We will also exclude those who are on chronic immunosuppressive therapies such as oral steroids, but also those on chronic topical steroids in the area of investigation.
  12. * Known bovine or meat sensitivity or severe allergies manifested by anaphylaxis to any product
  13. * Known bleeding disorder
