  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Who may be able to join

  • Male or female subject of any race 18-90 years old.
  • Subject presents with an index DTI. This is defined by the National Pressure Ulcer Advisory Panel (NPUAP) as a purple or maroon localized area of discolored intact skin or blood-filled blister due to damage of underlying soft tissue from pressure and/or shear. The area may be preceded by tissue that is painful, firm, mushy, boggy, warmer or cooler as compared to adjacent tissue.
  • Subject's DTI has been discovered ≤ 72 hours after causative event
  • Causative event of DTI is identified.
  • Subject's index DTI is located on torso or body extremities.
  • Subject is currently admitted to the hospital.

  • Subject is able to be maneuvered into a position that is acceptable for MIST treatment.
  • Subject's DTI presents with no clinical signs of acute infection.
  • Subject or subject's legally authorized representative understands the nature of the procedures and provides written informed consent prior to study enrollment.

Who cannot join

  • Subject's primary wound is a Stage I, Stage II, Stage III or Stage IV pressure ulcer.
  • Subject's wound presents with a malignancy in the wound bed.
  • Subject has a history of pressure ulcer / DTI in same location.
  • Subject's DTI would require ultrasound near an electronic implant or prosthesis, e.g., near or over the heart, or over the thoracic area if the patient is using a cardiac pacemaker.
  • Female subjects that are pregnant or refuse to utilize adequate contraceptive methods and are of childbearing age during the trial.
  • Subject is terminally ill, defined as unable to survive beyond 14 days.
  • Subject is known to be suffering from a disorder or other situation that the subject or investigator feels would interfere with compliance or other study requirements.

About this study

Official title: Multi-Center Study of the Effects of MIST Therapy on the Treatment of Deep Tissue Injury

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of MIST Therapy in conjunction with standard of care (SOC) compared to SOC alone in the prevention of deep tissue injury (DTI) progression to advanced stage pressure ulcers.

Read the detailed description

Enrolled subjects will be randomized to receive one of two treatment courses: a) MIST Therapy in conjunction with Standard of Care (MIST + SOC) (treatment group) or b) SOC only (control group).

A randomized subject will be required to undergo a Baseline Evaluation. The Baseline Evaluation. A digital photo will be taken of the wound.

The subject will receive the assigned study treatment. Each subject will receive SOC wound care and off-loading daily throughout the study. Subjects will be treated daily for 5 days and then every other day until discharged or up to 14 days post enrollment.

What participants receive

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

  • MIST TherapyDevice

    Also called MIST Therapy, MIST, Non-Contact Ultrasound

    FDA cleared non-contact ultrasound device. Delivers low frequency ultrasound via a fine saline to the wound area.

  • Standard of CareOther

    Standard of Care consists of pressure relief, wound cleansing and dressing as needed

MIST Therapy with SOCActive comparatorStandard of Care including pressure relief, wound cleansing, creams, and dressings as needed plus MIST Therapy daily for 5 days and then every other day for up to 7 more days

What is being measured

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

  1. Effectiveness

    To compare between the treatment groups the effect of the assigned study treatment on the rate of progression of DTI to advanced stage pressure ulcer (Stage III or greater, continued DTI, or a pressure ulcer that is unable to be staged due to necrotic tissue).

    Stage I - Intact skin with non-blanchable redness of a localized area Stage II - Partial thickness loss of dermis Stage III - Full thickness loss, subcutaneous fat may be visible Stage IV - Full thickness tissue loss with exposed bone, tendon or muscle Unstageable - Full thickness tissue loss in which the base of the ulcer is covered by slough or eschar Continues deep tissue injury - purple or maroon localize area of discolored intact skin that may be mushy or boggy

    Measured: 14 days

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Change in Mean Wound Area

    Measured from randomization to last visit (14 days or at discharge from hospital)

    Measured: 14 days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing MIST Therapy in people with Wound of Skin, run by Celleration, Inc. 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 9 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 15 Jan 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 15 Dec 2014). 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?

Effectiveness (time frame: 14 days). 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 15 Jan 2015.
