Trial summary

There is considerable variation in scarring, within and between people, and between different ethnic groups. Individuals with more pigmented skin are more prone to severe scarring than those traditionally termed white. Prevascar is being developed by Renovo for use as a potential treatment for reducing scarring. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: An Exploratory, Single Centre, Randomized, Placebo Controlled, Assessor Blind Clinical Trial to Assess the Effects of Intradermal Administrations of Prevascar on Scarring in Human Subjects of African Continental Ancestral Origin

There is considerable variation in scarring, within and between people, and between different ethnic groups. Individuals with more pigmented skin are more prone to severe scarring than those traditionally termed white. Prevascar is being developed by Renovo for use as a potential treatment for reducing scarring.

Renovo's histological analysis of wounds and scars in human non drug studies demonstrates an increase in wound and scar width in subjects of African Caribbean ancestry over a 12 month period.

It is hypothesised that IL-10 may be a potentially beneficial therapy for the reduction of scarring in Non Caucasians of African-Caribbean ancestry.

This Renovo clinical trial will be carried out primarily to establish the effects of four doses of Prevascar on 1cm incisional and excisional scars in subjects of African Continental Group ancestry, as compared to placebo, and to further investigate the safety and tolerance of intradermally injected Prevascar in wounds.

What is being measured

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

  1. To assess the effects of Prevascar on resultant scars

    To investigate the effects of Prevascar on wound/scar width

    To investigate the effects of Prevascar on wound/scar tissue histology

    To investigate the effects of Prevascar on scar appearance

    NB: This is an exploratory study and hence all objectives are exploratory

    Measured: 13 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Prevascar 5ng, Prevascar 25ng and Prevascar 100ng in people with Scarring, run by Renovo at 1 site 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 1 inclusion and 6 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 10 Feb 2011. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site 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 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

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

Are results available for this 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?

To assess the effects of Prevascar on resultant scars (time frame: 13 months). 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 10 Feb 2011.
