About this study

Official title: Open Label Assessment of VistaCare® Treatment in Current Medical Practice in Patients With Acute and Chronic Leg Wounds.

Assessment of the safety and performance of the VistaCare® medical device in current medical practice in the treatment of acute and chronic lower limb wounds.

Read the detailed description

The study is an open-label, prospective, multicenter, post-CE mark (European Conformity assessment indicating marketing approval in Europe) study to assess the safety and performance of the VistaCare® device in the treatment of wounds. The duration of patient follow-up is up to 30 days, with intermediate visits at 3, 7, 15 and 30 days following initiation of treatment with the device.

Up to 30 patients will be recruited in the trial. Assessments will include clinical status, wound status, standardized photography, TcPO2 (trans-cutaneous oxygen pressure assessment) in a study sub-population, visual analogy scales to assess pain and comfort and adverse events monitoring.

What is being measured

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

  1. Assessment of the global Safety of use of the VistaCare® medical device in standard medical practice

    Assessment of the global safety of VistaCare® in current medical practice in patients with acute or chronic lower limb wounds through monitoring of concurrent averse events throughout the study duration. This will be assessed through the frequency of occurrence of device-related events, throughout the patient's participation in the trial

    Measured: up to 30 days

  2. Assessment of the global Performance of the VistaCare® device in standard medical practice

    Assessment of the global performance of the VistaCare® medical device as compared to its labeled performance in the approved indication (wound healing). This will be assessed through a global clinical assessment by the investigator of the wound improvement condition throughout the study visits, measured in 3 grades ranging from Aggravation (worst assessment), through Static (no improvement) to Improved (best assessment), taking into consideration the wound healing stage and general clinical condition per investigator's assessment.

    Measured: up to 30 days

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. Assessment of time under VistaCare treatment till secondary treatment decision

    Assessment of the time in days till decision to wound coverage, graft, wound dressing, or no further treatment needed and patient discharge. Duration in days from VistaCare treatment initiation to decision-making will be tabulated for each patient.

    Measured: up to 15 days

  2. Wound surface calorimetric assessment of wound status

    Description of wound clinical status evolution through photography, wound measurement in mm2 and visual assessment of wound status. This measure is based on the surface in mm2 of the wound components on a standard photography, each wound potentially comprising 3 wound stages surfaces : necrotic (worst), granulation and epithelization (most favorable wound healing stage). Those stages are measured on each visit on a standardized photography of the wound and the wound stage evolution in time is assessed for each patient by an external reviewer. Wound staging for each patient will be analyzed in time throughout patient's participation and presented as graphs.

    Measured: 30 days

  3. Safety assessment of the VistaCare® treatment through monitoring of the frequency of adverse events

    Safety assessment of the VistaCare® treatment through adverse events monitoring, with frequency of patients presenting with any adverse event and frequency of each adverse event type, namely non-serious unrelated or device-related event (respectively AE, ADE), serious unrelated event (SAE), serious device-related event (SADE), unanticipated device-related event (UADE), or device deficiency. Tabulation of frequencies in percentages of patient occurrence and number of events per patient will be provided.

    Measured: throughout 30 days

  4. TcPO2 assessment

    In a sub-group of up to 10 patients, measure of the trans-cutaneous oxygen pressure (TcPO2) around the wound to assess status and potential correlation with wound status. This measure is expressed in mmHG and the correlation between this measure and the wound healing stage will be statistically assessed to indicate if wound healing may be correlated to the oxygen pressure measure.

    Measured: up to 30 days

  5. Quality of Life assessments

    Patient visual analogy scale (VAS) assessments of pain and comfort. Those scales are each graduated from 0 (none) to 10 (maximum pain or discomfort). The evolution in times of such scores will be statistically assessed for each patient.

    Measured: throughout 30 days

  6. Duration of hospitalization

    Assessment of the total duration of patient hospitalization in days.

    Measured: throughout 30 days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Wound Heal, run by DTAMedical SAS at 5 sites in France.

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 12 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 2 Feb 2021. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 5 sites in France. 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?

Assessment of the global Safety of use of the VistaCare® medical device in standard medical practice (time frame: up to 30 days). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 2 Feb 2021.
