About this study

Official title: Recombinant Human Fibroblast Growth Factor-2 (rhFGF-2) In Absorbable Collagen Membrane With Coronally Advanced Flap In Class I And II Gingival Recession Defects -A Randomized Control Trial

This study was a single-arm trial to obtain preliminary data on the efficacy of collagen membranes impregnated with recombinant human fibroblast growth factor (rhFGF-2) in the treatment of Miller's class I and class II gingival recessions.

Read the detailed description

Soft tissues can be regenerated to cover root exposure and a thin biotype can be converted into a thick biotype by using recombinant human growth factor technology. A recent review stated that growth factors could enhance soft tissue regeneration which includes restoration of mucogingival architecture and regeneration of periodontal hard and soft tissues including bone, cementum and periodontal ligament fibers. Fibroblast growth factor-2 (FGF-2), a heparin-binding cytokine with strong angiogenic activity stimulates the proliferation of undifferentiated mesenchymal cells. These functions can be applied in mucogingival surgery as FGF-2 promotes bone and cementum formation and exhibits an increased potential to promote periodontal regeneration in recession defects.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • FGF 2Drug

    Also called FGF+Collagen

    Following a standard surgical protocol, rhFGF-2 impregnated membranes will be placed in sites with gingival recession.

Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Main treatment groupExperimentalCollagen membranes incorporating 10ng/ml human recombinant basic fibroblast growth factor (FGF-2/bFGF) will be placed in the sites.
Receives: Drug: FGF 2

What is being measured

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

  1. Width of keratinized gingiva (wKG)

    To assess the wKG, the mucogingival junction was identified visually as the border between the movable (alveolar mucosa) and immovable tissue (gingiva). The distance from the gingival margin to the mucogingival junction was considered as the Wkg.

    Measured: 5 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Early Phase 1 study testing FGF 2 in people with Periodontitis, run by SVS Institute of Dental Sciences at 1 site in India.

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 1 May 2020. 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 India. 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?

Early Phase 1 (sometimes called Phase 0) studies give a very small amount of a treatment to a few people, mainly to see how the body handles it.

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?

Width of keratinized gingiva (wKG) (time frame: 5 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 1 May 2020.
