About this study

Official title: PriMatrix Dermal Repair Scaffold Utilization Intraorally

Is PriMatrix wound dressing capable of regenerating gum tissue inside the mouth?

Read the detailed description

PriMatrix is an acellular fetal bovine dermal matrix that has a wide array of FDA approved uses. These uses include partial- and full-thickness wounds, pressure, diabetic, and venous ulcers, surgical wounds, trauma wounds, tunneled wounds, and draining wounds. It is a sheet-like matrix made up primarily of type I and type III collagen. An increased proportion of type III collagen appears to play a key role in healing and regeneration.

The use of extracellular dermal matrices is a relatively young field, and the exact mechanism by which PriMatrix promotes skin regeneration is still unknown. Despite this, PriMatrix has demonstrated differences in manufacturing and molecular composition that make it conducive to the harsh environments in which it has already been tested. Intraorally, where there is a rich vascular bed, this material holds exceeding promise.

Utilizing this vascularity, autogenous free gingival grafts from the palate have already had their efficacy proven as a method of augmenting the keratinized tissue.The need to increase the keratinized tissue is based upon the postulation that less mobile, keratinized epithelium is more resilient than the non-keratinized oral mucosa. This is especially important in areas where recession and attachment loss has already occurred. Without having keratinized gingiva apical to the recession area, it has been suggested that there is a greater risk for more attachment loss to occur, thus reducing the support for the tooth. In addition, autogenous free gingival grafts have demonstrated the phenomenon of "creeping attachment" where a portion of the recession actually becomes covered as a result of grafting.

While autogenous grafting is the gold standard in soft tissue augmentation, the amount of tissue that can be taken from the palate is limited, making it difficult to treat patients with generalized recession. Furthermore, a secondary surgical site increases the morbidity associated with the procedure. The hypothesis of this study is that PriMatrix will be able to provide similar results to an autogenous free gingival graft.

What participants receive

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

  • Collagen MembraneDevice

    Also called PriMatrix

    First, the recipient site is prepared, and the collagen membrane hydrated. The collagen membrane is sutured firmly against the prepared vascular bed with a long-lasting suture material. The subject is requested to minimize the amount of manipulation to the area to maintain graft stability.

What is being measured

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

  1. Change in depth of keratinized tissue

    The amount of gingival augmentation will be assessed by the depth of keratinized tissue, measured in millimeters. Change in the amount of keratinized tissue in the areas of interest from baseline to 6 months will be tested to see if they are statistically significant.

    Measured: baseline, approximately 6 months after the procedure

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Collagen Membrane in people with Localized Gingival Recession, run by Lauren M. F. Syrowik 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 1 inclusion and 7 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 6 Jan 2016. 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.

What does this 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.

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 is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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?

Change in depth of keratinized tissue (time frame: baseline, approximately 6 months after the procedure). 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 6 Jan 2016.
