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 years and older
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Who may be able to join

  • Subject must be at least 18 years of age; of either gender and in good general health.
  • Subject has sustained burn wounds of less than 30 percent of the total body surface area
  • Burn wounds do not involve the harvesting area
  • Subject has sustained burn wounds that, in the judgment of the attending surgeon, require excision and grafting of sufficient extent to justify two donor sites of equal and symmetrical size on non-dependent body surfaces areas
  • The scheduled excision and grafting procedure is the first such operation for the subject during this hospitalization
  • Subject agrees to participate in follow-up evaluations

Who cannot join

  • Critical illnesses such as those requiring ventilator support, or having a systemic infection or hemodynamic instability, defined as a mean arterial pressure less than 60 or requiring vasoactive medications to support blood pressure
  • Major acute or chronic medical illnesses that could affect wound healing (e.g. peripheral vascular disease, insulin dependent diabetes, blood clotting disorder)
  • Subjects receiving treatment with medications that inhibit or compromise wound healing. Examples include therapeutic anticoagulants, antiplatelet drugs, and systemic steroids such as warfarin, clopidogrel or prednisone. The use of anticoagulants does not include DVT (Deep Vein Thrombosis) prophylaxis. Subjects may use aspirin or lovenox
  • Cellulitis or other infection of the potential donor sites
  • Donor site has been previously harvested for grafting
  • Subjects with greater than 30% total body surface area burns
  • Pregnancy
  • Prisoners

About this study

This is a single-center, prospective, randomized, and controlled study to evaluate the effectiveness of OxyBand Dressing for the use as a dressing for autogenous skin donor sites compared to our current standard donor site dressing (Xeroform). Hypothesis is that the mean healing time for wounds treated with the OxyBand dressing will be less than the mean healing time for wounds treated with the Xeroform dressing.

Read the detailed description

Patients who are scheduled for excision of burns or other injuries will have one of two donor sites covered with the OxyBand Dressing, and the other treated according to standard of care. OxyBand is an FDA (Food and Drug Administration) approved (K043063) wound dressing for delivery of oxygen into the wound. Two small clinical studies using OxyBand have been conducted on standardized laser burn wounds, demonstrating faster healing time compared to a placebo. No studies have compared this dressing to Xeroform dressing, the standard dressing used on donor sites in the USAISR.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Oxygen diffusing dressingDevice

    Also called OxyBand dressing

    Oxygen diffusing dressing applied to study wound

  • Standard of care dressingDevice

    Also called Xeroform dressing

    Xeroform control dressing applied to control wound

Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Burn wound patients with donor sitesExperimentalOxygen diffusing dressing applied to wound vs standard of care dressing (Xeroform) applied to wound (patient serves as own control as s/he receives 1 dressing on 1 donor site and the other on a 2nd donor site)
Receives: Device: Oxygen diffusing dressing; Device: Standard of care dressing

What is being measured

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

  1. Healing Time for Donor Site Wounds

    Wounds are inspected on postoperative days 4, 8, and then every two days until the wound is deemed to be healed.

    Measured: number of days to healing

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Pain Perceived by Patient

    Patient will be asked to rate pain 0-10 (0=no pain, 10=maximum pain) at the study site and the control site. Used Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) for this purpose.

    Measured: Post-Operative Day 4

  2. Patient Will be Asked to Rate Pain 0-10/10 at the Study Site and the Control Site

    Measured: Post-Operative Day 8

  3. Patient Will be Asked to Rate Pain 0-10/10 at the Study Site and the Control Site

    Measured: Post-Operative Day 10

  4. Patient Will be Asked to Rate Pain 0-10/10 at the Study Site and the Control Site

    Measured: Post-Operative Day 12

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Oxygen diffusing dressing in people with Burns, run by United States Army Institute of Surgical Research at 1 site in United States.

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 8 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 9 Oct 2015. 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 States. 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.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 9 Oct 2015). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Healing Time for Donor Site Wounds (time frame: number of days to healing). 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 9 Oct 2015.
