Trial summary

A pilot study will be conducted on 2 type of subjects, one with plastic surgery scar with a randomization of laser treated portions, and other with keloid excision scar with a complete laser treatment. The aim is to evaluate the infra-red diode laser influence on keloid recurrence and scar prevention. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Effect of Infra-red Diode Laser on Improvement of Surgical Scar and on the Prevention of Excised Keloids Recurrence-Pilot Study

A pilot study will be conducted on 2 type of subjects, one with plastic surgery scar with a randomization of laser treated portions, and other with keloid excision scar with a complete laser treatment. The aim is to evaluate the infra-red diode laser influence on keloid recurrence and scar prevention. The keloid recurrence rate will be evaluated at each visit, and the scar prevention in plastic surgery will be evaluated comparing laser treated portion and non-treated portion.

What is being measured

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

  1. treatment tolerability assessed by natures, intensity and incidences of the side effects, with a special oversight of skin burn lesion

    Measured: 10 days after surgery or excision

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. improvement of scarring for plastic surgery group

    • Vancouver Scar Scale score
    • Comparative scar assessment scale
    • Observer assessment score (POSAS)

    Measured: 12 months after surgery

  2. keloid recurrence, an intralesional corticotherapy will be set up as soon as there is a recurrence.

    • Lesion size
    • Vancouver scar scale
    • Observer scar scale (POSAS)

    Measured: 12 months after excision

  3. quality of life assessment for keloid group

    • VQ-dermato
    • satisfaction questionnaire

    Measured: 12 months after excision

  4. Socio and medical economic evaluation for keloid group

    Measured: 12 months after excision

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing infra-red diode laser in people with Keloid and Surgical Scar, run by Ekkyo at 1 site 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 5 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 8 Jul 2010. 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 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 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

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?

Contact Guy MAGALON, MD PhD (+33 (0)4 91 38 35 52, guy.magalon@ap-hm.fr), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

treatment tolerability assessed by natures, intensity and incidences of the side effects, with a special oversight of skin burn lesion (time frame: 10 days after surgery or excision). 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 8 Jul 2010.
