About this study

Official title: Use of 2-octylcyanoacrylate (Dermabond) During Cutaneous Wound Closure With Full-thickness Skin Grafts: a Randomized Split Wound Comparative Effectiveness Trial

The purpose of this study is to determine whether the use of 2-octylcyanoacrylate during repair of cutaneous surgery wounds with full-thickness skin grafts improves scar cosmesis compared to wound closure with sutures.

Read the detailed description

The purpose of this study is to determine whether the use of 2-octylcyanoacrylate during repair of cutaneous surgery wounds with full-thickness skin grafts improves scar cosmesis compared to wound closure with sutures. Our aims are to compare outcomes using a split wound model, where half of the wound is treated with 2-octylcyanoacrylate and the other half is repaired with sutures, per the standard of care. Three-months post-surgery, the scar will be measured via the physician observer scar assessment scale, a validated scar instrument. Our hypothesis is that 2-octylcyanoacrylate will result in cosmetically superior wound outcomes.

Being tested

What is being measured

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

  1. Appearance of Scar on the Patient and Observer Scar Assessment Scale

    After surgical procedure, half of the subject's wound will be with 2-octylcyanoacrylate, while the other half is closed 5-0 vicryl sutures. After 3 months, subjects will return to clinic for evaluation of the cosmesis of both types of closure techniques.

    Measured: 3 months

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Incidence of Graft Failure on Case Report

    The secondary endpoint will include incidence of graft failure (partial and complete on both sides).

    Measured: 3 months

  2. Incidence of Complications on Case Report

    Noting the presence or absence of bleeding, dehiscence, infection or spitting sutures.

    Measured: 3 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Wound Closure with 2-octylcyanoacrylate and Wound Closure with 5-0 Vicryl Sutures in people with Wound Closure Techniques, run by University of California, Davis.

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 4 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 21 Jun 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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?

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?

Appearance of Scar on the Patient and Observer Scar Assessment Scale (time frame: 3 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 21 Jun 2017; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 8 Nov 2026.
