Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 18 to 60 years
  • Women only
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult

Who may be able to join

  • Female subjects between 18 and 60 years of age undergoing bilateral breast augmentation through an infra-mammary fold incision who have given written informed consent.
  • Weight between 50 and 150kg and a body mass index within the permitted range for their height using Quetelet's index-weight (kg)/height²(m). The permitted index is between 15-55.
  • Subjects of child bearing potential who are using method(s) of contraception acceptable to the Investigator and agree to do so from at least the screening visit until 1 month post surgery.
  • Subjects where the same implant position will be used for each breast; the implants can be placed in sub-mammary or sub-pectoral pockets.
  • Subjects where the same type and size of implant is to be used for each breast.
  • Subjects with, in the opinion of the Investigator, clinically acceptable results for the laboratory tests specified in the trial protocol . All laboratory tests must be performed within 28 days prior to Day 0.

Who cannot join

  • Subjects with significant breast asymmetry where this may produce a different length or site of wound, or where there will be a different post-operative tension on the wound.
  • Subjects who on direct questioning and physical examination have a history or evidence of hypertrophic or keloid scarring.
  • Subjects who have had surgery in the area to be incised within one year of Day 0.
  • Subjects with a personal history of a bleeding disorder.
  • Subjects with any history of breast malignancy.
  • Subjects with a skin disorder that is chronic or currently active and which the Investigator considers will adversely affect the healing of the acute wounds or involves the areas to be examined in this trial.

  • Subjects who on direct questioning and/or physical examination, have evidence of any past or present clinically significant medical condition that would impair wound healing.
  • Subjects with a history of clinically significant hypersensitivity to any of the drugs or surgical dressings to be used in this trial.
  • Subjects who are taking, or have taken, any investigational drugs including RN1001 within 3 months prior to the screening visit.
  • Subjects who are taking regular, continuous, oral corticosteroid therapy.
  • Subjects undergoing investigations or changes in management for an existing medical condition.
  • Subjects who are or who become pregnant up to and including Day 0 or who are lactating.
  • Subjects with diseases or conditions that could in the opinion of the Investigator interfere with the assessment of safety, tolerability and efficacy.
  • In the opinion of the Investigator, a subject who is not likely to complete the trial for what ever reason.

About this study

Official title: A Double Blind, Within Subject, Placebo Controlled Randomised Trial to Investigate the Scar Improvement Efficacy of a Single Intradermal Application of RN1001 (Avotermin) in Female Subjects Undergoing Bilateral Breast Augmentation

This will be a multi-centre, double-blind, within-subject, placebo controlled randomised trial in female subjects. All subjects will undergo bilateral breast augmentation surgery. Immediately following surgery, each subject will receive 100µl containing 50ng or 200ng of RN1001 per linear centimetre intradermally into both margins of one breast wound, and 100µl of placebo solution per linear centimetre intradermally into both margins of their other breast wound. The allocation of treatment to wound (left or right) will be randomised and double blind.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Avotermin in people with Mammaplasty and Cicatrix, run by Renovo at 7 sites in United Kingdom.

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 6 inclusion and 14 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 14 Aug 2008. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 7 sites in United Kingdom. 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 is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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?

Investigator scar assessment. The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
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 14 Aug 2008.
