Trial summary

Bovine Lung Surfactant is used as standard therapy for reducing alveolar surface tension in preterm infants. Here the drug is administered via airways. The use on skin to stimulate the wound healing has not yet been tested in humans, i.e. it is not yet approved for the treatment of wound healing disorders. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Safety and Tolerability of Topically Applied Bovine Lung Surfactant on Intact Skin and Superficial Subepidermal Lesions in Healthy Volunteers

Bovine Lung Surfactant is used as standard therapy for reducing alveolar surface tension in preterm infants. Here the drug is administered via airways.

The use on skin to stimulate the wound healing has not yet been tested in humans, i.e. it is not yet approved for the treatment of wound healing disorders. In the planned clinical trial Lung Surfactant is used the first time for the local treatment of skin lesions in humans. No substance related side effects were observed during the application via airways in neonates.

The innovative idea to use lung surfactant for skin wound healing derived from two observations. First, when the skin is injured, the barrier protecting the moist body surface from the dry environment is discontinued and in part lost.

Lung surfactant has several characteristics that might be beneficial for treatment of chronic cutaneous wounds.

What is being measured

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

  1. Tolerability of Lung Surfactant in cutaneous application measured by mean Clinical Scoring Scale for dermatitis (CSS) computed over all visits

    Measured: days 2,4,6,8,10,12,14 post baseline

Secondary outcomes (9)
  1. Time to wound conclusion of wound healing and reepithelialisation: measurement of wound surface

    Measured: up to 14 days and one time follow up after 30 days

  2. Pain measured by mean Visual Analogue Scale over all visits

    Measured: days 2,4,6,8,10,12,14 post baseline

  3. TransEpidermal Water Loss = indirect measurement of reepithelialisation and of wound closure

    Measured: day 2

  4. TransEpidermal Water Loss = indirect measurement of reepithelialisation and of wound closure

    Measured: day 4

  5. TransEpidermal Water Loss = indirect measurement of reepithelialisation and of wound closure

    Measured: day 6

  6. TransEpidermal Water Loss = indirect measurement of reepithelialisation and of wound closure

    Measured: day 8

  7. TransEpidermal Water Loss = indirect measurement of reepithelialisation and of wound closure

    Measured: day 10

  8. TransEpidermal Water Loss = indirect measurement of reepithelialisation and of wound closure

    Measured: day 12

  9. TransEpidermal Water Loss = indirect measurement of reepithelialisation and of wound closure

    Measured: day 14

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Surfactants and Saline Solution in people with Skin and Connective Tissue Diseases, run by Prof. Dr. Dr. Ursula Mirastschijski at 1 site in Germany.

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 9 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 7 Sep 2017. 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 Germany. 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?

Tolerability of Lung Surfactant in cutaneous application measured by mean Clinical Scoring Scale for dermatitis (CSS) computed over all visits (time frame: days 2,4,6,8,10,12,14 post baseline). 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 7 Sep 2017.
