About this study

Official title: A Prospective, Open Study to Evaluate the Clinical Performance of a New Adhesive Foam Dressing in the Treatment of Partial Thickness Burns, Acute and Chronic Wounds.

This study will look at whether ELECT, a new adhesive foam dressing, can offer an alternative to traditional wound care methods.

Patients will be treated with ELECT for 14 days. Data relating to wound healing, the performance of the dressing and the opinion of the doctor will be collected.

The hypothesis of this study is that the ELECT foam adhesive dressing is 'fit for purpose' and will be effective at treating a variety of wounds.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing ELECT in people with Wounds and Injuries and Burns, run by Smith & Nephew, Inc. at 1 site in South Africa.

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 6 inclusion and 10 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 19 Feb 2018. 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 South Africa. 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?

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?

Wound progression, (percentage change in area) using a wound imaging measurement and wound documentation system (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 19 Feb 2018.
