Trial summary

After severe burn injury, the full-thickness burn areas are excised (in the first week) and then temporarily covered with allograft (cryogenic preserved cadaver skin). This first covering is then replaced with thin skin meshed autograft. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Multicentre Clinical Study to Compare the Efficacy and the Tolerance of Cellularised LG002 With the Efficacy and Tolerance of Uncellularised LG002 in the Treatment of Severe Burn Injury

After severe burn injury, the full-thickness burn areas are excised (in the first week) and then temporarily covered with allograft (cryogenic preserved cadaver skin). This first covering is then replaced with thin skin meshed autograft.

In this study, either the dermal substrates cellularised LG002 or uncellularised LG002 will be grafted, after excision, in symmetrical areas, in replacement of the allografts. Fourteen to twenty one days after this first covering, the dermal substrate will be covered with thin skin meshed autograft.

Read the detailed description

For lesions that cannot heal spontaneously, the wound is excised until fascia. Four contiguous dermal substrates (uncellularised and cellularised) are randomly grafted on each symmetric area.

A primary siliconized dressing will cover the wound. Secondary dressing: dressing gauze impregnated with physiologic serum and/or sterile dried dressing gauze, the whole is maintained by a (slightly compressive) tubular or elastic bandage.

Thin skin meshed autograft will occur 14 to 21 days after dermal substrate cellularised LG002 or uncellularised LG002 grafting (time frame necessary for the site to vascularize).

Meshed autograft development must be identical in both symmetric areas, for one single patient.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Percentage of take of thin skin autografts 6 days after their application on dermal substrate cellularised LG002 or uncellularised LG002 (visual assessment + photography)

    Measured: 6 days after their application on dermal substrate cellularised LG002 or uncellularised LG002

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Short and medium term: Percentage of take of thin skin autografts 12 and 30 days after their application

    Measured: 12 and 30 days after their application

  2. Long term: Clinical evaluation (Vancouver scale 1, 3, 6, 12 months) and histological evaluation (3mm biopsy) to investigate the dermal-epidermal junction and the extra-cellular matrix (1 and 6 month) in order to evaluate the scar quality

    Measured: 1, 3, 6, 12 months

  3. Tolerance parameter: Investigator's global judgement, post grafting infection (swabbing during each new dressing for staphylococcus aureus detection), adverse event for intolerance

    Measured: each application

  4. Supplementary parameter: Allogenic fibroblasts survival : chimerism study with biopsy (1 and 6 months)

    Measured: 1 and 6 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Dermal substrate cellularised LG002 (10x10cm) and Dermal substrate uncellularised LG002 (10x10 cm) in people with Burns, run by Laboratoires Genévrier at 2 sites in France.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 3 inclusion and 4 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 21 Jan 2010. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites in France. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study was stopped early (reason given: not appropriate to carry on the study). Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Percentage of take of thin skin autografts 6 days after their application on dermal substrate cellularised LG002 or uncellularised LG002 (visual assessment + photography) (time frame: 6 days after their application on dermal substrate cellularised LG002 or uncellularised LG002). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00366041, which also lists 9 linked publications.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 21 Jan 2010.
