About this study

Official title: Role of Autologous Dermal Micrografts in Regenerative Surgery

Objective assessment of the effectiveness of a micro-fragmented dermal extract obtained with Rigenera™ technology (patented by Human Brain Wave) in promoting the wound healing process in an in-vivo homogeneous experimental human acute surgical wound model.

Read the detailed description

The aim of the study is the objective assessment of the effectiveness of a micro-fragmented dermal extract obtained with Rigenera™ technology (patented by Human Brain Wave) in promoting the wound healing process in an in-vivo homogeneous experimental human acute surgical wound model. The study includes 20 patients with 24 acute post-surgical soft tissue loss and a planned sequential two-stage repair with dermal substitute and autologous split-thickness skin graft. Each acute post-surgical soft tissue loss is randomized to be treated either with Integra® dermal substitute enriched with the autologous dermal micro-grafts obtained with Rigenera™ technology (group A - Rigenera™ protocol) or with Integra® dermal substitute only (group B - Control). The re-epithelialization rate in the wounds is assessed in both groups at 4 weeks through digital photography with the software "Image J". The dermal cell suspension enrichment with the Rigenera™ technology is considered effective if the re-epithelialized area is higher than the 25% of the total wound surface as this threshold is considered far beyond the expected spontaneous re-epithelialization rate.

Model description
The study includes 20 patients with 24 post-surgical defect in any site of the body with a size range 4-400 cm2. The acute post-surgical soft tissue loss is considered the experimental unit of the study irrespective of the number of wounds per patient. Each unit is randomized to be treated either with Integra® dermal substitute enriched with the autologous dermal micro-grafts obtained with RigeneraTM protocol (group A - RigeneraTM protocol - 12 units) or with Integra® dermal substitute only (group B - Control - 12 units). The expected endpoint is a spontaneous re-epithelialization higher than 25% of the total wound area in group A at 4 weeks. The secondary endpoint is the comparison of the re-epithelialization rate at 4 weeks after the first surgical stage between the group A and the controls. The re-epithelialization rate in the wounds is assessed through digital photography with the software "Image J".

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Integra® dermal substitute and RigeneraTM protocol in people with Regenerative Medicine, run by Istituti Clinici Scientifici Maugeri SpA at 1 site in Italy.

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 1 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 11 Apr 2019. 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 Italy. 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?

Spontaneous re-epithelialization. (time frame: 4 weeks). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT03912675, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 11 Apr 2019.
