8 Clinical Trials for Various Conditions
This study will examine the tolerability of a gel formulation of the enzyme SN514 in patients with burns suitable for enzymatic debridement. In a rising dose fashion by sequential cohort, concentrations of 0.1%, 0.2%, 0.4% and 0.8% will be tested. Groups of 3 will undergo daily debridement for up to 7 days. Extent of debridement and adverse signs and symptoms will be recorded daily. Dose escalation will stop if a dose level is found to be intolerable. Dose escalation may accelerate if a tested dose is entirely ineffective. There is no placebo control as all burn wounds require debridement.
There is currently no standard treatment to prevent burn depth conversion in partial-thickness burns. Conversion into deeper wounds is associated with higher complications and morbidity. The most common theory attributes this depth conversion to the prolonged inflammatory response that occurs after burn injury. Therefore, the investigators propose testing the safety and efficacy of tacrolimus ointment (an immunosuppressive agent) in patients with deep partial-thickness burns.
The proposed study is designed as a phase Ib open-label, dose-escalation, multicenter study evaluating the safety, tolerability, and efficacy of StrataGraft skin tissue in promoting the healing of the deep partial-thickness component of complex skin defects. The proposed study population will include patients with 3-49% Total Body Surface Area (TBSA) complex skin defects including a deep partial-thickness component resulting from thermal injury. The study has been designed to focus on the evaluation of safety and tolerability of prolonged exposure to increasing amounts of a single application of StrataGraft skin tissue, while also assessing the potential for StrataGraft tissue to promote healing of the deep partial-thickness component of these complex skin defects as an alternative to donor site harvesting and autografting. Targeted enrollment for this study is up to 30 patients with complex skin defects due to thermal burns which require surgical excision and autografting. Subjects will be sequentially enrolled in two cohorts of increasing treatment area receiving StrataGraft skin tissue that has been stored refrigerated prior to clinical use. A third cohort will receive StrataGraft skin tissue which has been stored cryopreserved and thawed in the operating room just prior to grafting.
An autograft is a piece of skin taken from a healthy area of the body to be used to treat severe burns on another part of the same body. StrataGraft skin tissue was an investigational tissue that could be used as an alternative to an autograft. * StrataGraft skin tissue was in late-stage clinical development for the treatment of adults with deep partial-thickness (DPT) burns. * There were no safety concerns reported to date. The sponsor submitted a treatment protocol to Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for doctors who participated in the Phase 3 Strata 2016 study (NCT 03005106) to allow for expanded access to StrataGraft before it was commercially available. The main purpose of the study was to allow patients to receive StrataGraft during Biologics License Application review and prior to approval by the FDA for the treatment of DPT burns. The primary outcome measure was the number of participants with adverse events and safety concerns.
This investigation is an open, randomised investigation. Approximately 40 subjects in 4-5 centres in the US with deep-partial of full thickness burns in need of skin grafts will be enrolled.The subjects will be equally randomised to either treatment with Mepitel One or bridal veil together with staples. The primary objective is to compare pain at the time of dressing change for the use of Mepitel One versus bridal veil together with staples on deep partial or full thickness burns requiring skin grafts.
The purpose of this research study is to test how well the investigational treatment, Engineered Skin Substitutes (ESS-W), works for covering and treating burn wounds. The areas of the body that are treated with ESS-W will be compared to similar areas treated with the patient's own skin (split-thickness skin autograft (AG)). A skin autograft (AG) will be performed by taking healthy skin from one area of the body and placing it on the burned area.
The study will examine the safety of using a concentration of proteins from a patient's own blood, referred to as platelet rich plasma or (PRP) and applying it to a second degree burn wound.
About 70 participants will be enrolled. They will have complex skin defects because of burns caused by heat. The burns will: * be on 3-49% of the participant's total body surface area (TBSA) * require surgery for skin replacement * include intact dermal elements The burns are called deep, partial-thickness thermal burns because the skin was damaged by heat but still has some dermis that was not damaged. The dermis is the layer of skin under the outer layer (epidermis). It is the thickest layer of the skin that provides strength and flexibility to the skin. All patients will receive both treatments, but on different areas of their burns. Their wounds will not be compared to other patients. One treatment area on their own body will be compared to the other one. This will help to find out if StrataGraft is safe and effective for deep partial thickness burns. It will also see if StrataGraft might help healing enough to use it instead of the patient's own healthy skin to repair the damage.
