About this study

Official title: Proof of Concept Study Assessing Safety, Tolerability and Performance of SmartMatrix Dermal Replacement Scaffold

SmartMatrix™ is a single layer dermal replacement scaffold for full thickness skin replacement. The scaffold consists of a porous matrix of cross-linked human fibrin plus alginate that has been designed and optimised to facilitate wound closure and healing through cellular ingress and rapid growth of new blood vessels.

This proof of concept study will involve patients with surgical wounds resulting from the excision of basal cell carcinoma (BCC) and squamous cell carcinoma SCC).

What is being measured

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

  1. Safety

    incidence of adverse events related to use of wound scaffold

    Measured: 6 months

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. wound healing

    measurement of time to 100% re-epithelialisation of wound

    Measured: 6 months, 12 months

  2. cosmesis

    patient and surgeon assessment of scar formation and development using recognised assessment scores

    Measured: 6 months, 12 months

  3. pain at dressing change

    pain at dressing change will be assessed using a 10cm VAS

    Measured: 3 months

  4. dressing change

    frequency and number of dressing changes will be recorded

    Measured: 3 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing SmartMatrix dermal replacement scaffold in people with Basal Cell Carcinoma and Squamous Cell Carcinoma, run by Smart Matrix Limited at 2 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 5 inclusion and 13 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 4 Apr 2016. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 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 combined 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.

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 was stopped early (reason given: Mode of application to be reconsidered by Sponsor). 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?

Safety (time frame: 6 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 4 Apr 2016.
