About this study

Official title: A Multicenter, Multinational, Randomized, Controlled, Assessor Blinded Study, Performed in Subjects With Thermal Burns, to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of NexoBrid Compared to Gel Vehicle and Compared to Standard of Care

This study will be a three-arms study intending to demonstrate superiority of NexoBrid treatment over the Gel Vehicle placebo control treatment and over SOC in thermal burn subjects.

The study objectives are:

  1. To demonstrate the efficacy of enzymatic eschar removal with NexoBrid by providing complete eschar removal as compared with Gel vehicle,
  2. To demonstrate the efficacy of enzymatic eschar removal with NexoBrid by providing earlier complete eschar removal, reduction in patients' surgical burden and its related blood loss as compared to SOC,
  3. To assess the safety of NexoBrid compared to SOC, including demonstration that treatment with NexoBrid does not cause an unacceptable level of harm on wound closure outcome and long term outcomes of cosmesis and function.
Read the detailed description

This is a multi-center, multi-national, randomized, controlled, assessor blinded, three-arm study aiming to demonstrate superiority of NexoBrid treatment over Gel Vehicle control and over SOC treatment in thermal burn subjects with burns. Following the enrollment of a patient to the study and prior to randomization Physicians will define one or more Target Wounds (TWs) per subject according to TWs definition. All subjects' deep (DPT and FT) burns that comply with the specified entrance criteria are intended to receive study treatment per the randomized study arm.

The randomization procedure will be initiated only after all Target wounds of a subject have been defined. Patients will be assigned to the treatment arm in a 3:3:1 ratio (NexoBrid: SOC : Gel Vehicle).

Patients will be treated in the same way in all study arms (NexoBrid, SOC or Gel vehicle) except for the eschar removal stage which will be performed as per the randomization study arm.

Prior to initiation of eschar removal treatment, subjects will be medicated with appropriate analgesia and undergo wound cleansing and dressing of all wounds with antibacterial solutions . Following wound cleansing and antibacterial treatments, subjects will undergo the eschar removal process as per treatment assignment (NexoBrid, SOC or Gel Vehicle, following randomization).

Subsequent to complete eschar removal, all wounds will be assessed and treated in the same manner, in accordance with post-eschar removal wound care strategy. Post eschar removal, subjects will undergo daily vital signs and pain assessments, until hospital discharge (HD) and weekly assessments of wound progress, until wound closure. Following wound closure confirmation visit, subjects will be followed up at 1, 3, 6, 12, 18 and 24 months post wound closure for long term outcomes evaluation.

What is being measured

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

  1. Primary Endpoint: Number of Participants With Complete Eschar Removal.

    Comparison of NexoBrid over Gel Vehicle for eschar removal as measured by Number of Participants with complete eschar removal at the end of the topical agent soaking period by a blinded assessor.

    Measured: post application (post 2 h soaking)

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Secondary Endpoint: Number of Participants With Surgical Excision Performed or Eschar Removal for NexoBrid vs SOC (FAS)

    Comparison of NexoBrid over SOC in number of Participants with surgical need for excisional eschar removal as measured by an analysis of incidence of surgical eschar removal (tangential/ minor/ avulsion/ Versajet and/or dermabrasion excision).

    Measured: Post application (post 2 h soaking) for NexoBrid arm and immediately post surgical excision for SOC arm.

  2. Secondary Endpoint: Comparison of Time (Days) to Complete Eschar Removal

    Comparison of NexoBrid over SOC with regard to the time (in days) when complete eschar removal has been achieved. Results of the Generalized Wilcoxon-Gehan Test Adjusted for Overall TW Depths, TBSA Group, Center Group, and Number of TWs (FAS)

    Measured: From randomization until complete eschar removal. For NexoBrid, assessed post application (post 2 h soaking) and for SOC assessed immediately post last dressing change for non-surgical SOC arm and immediately post excision for surgical SOC arm.

  3. Secondary Endpoint: Patient-Level Comparison of Actual Blood Loss (Volume in mL) Related to Eschar Removal for NexoBrid vs SOC (FAS)

    Comparison of NexoBrid over SOC with regard to the blood loss (volume in mL) occurred during the eschar removal procedures.

    Measured: For NexoBrid arm, blood loss during NexoBrid application until post soaking. For SOC arm, blood loss during SOC procedures, through last dressing change for non-surgical SOC arm and through excision surgery for surgical SOC arm.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing NexoBrid in people with Thermal Burns, run by MediWound Ltd at 29 sites in 8 countries.

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 10 inclusion and 26 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 10 Jul 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 29 sites in United States, Romania, Germany, Italy, Belgium and 3 more countries. 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 27 Jun 2023). 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?

Primary Endpoint: Number of Participants With Complete Eschar Removal. (time frame: post application (post 2 h soaking)). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT02148705, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 Jul 2024.
