Trial summary

Adult patients undergoing a radial forearm free flap or ulnar forearm free flap will be randomized to the use of the Restrata graft in combination with split-thickness skin graft for reconstruction. Photos will document whether the Restata graft aids in the healing. Read more about this study

What participants receive

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

  • Restrata GraftDevice

    Restrata will be meshed in a 1:2 fashion to allow for egress of serous fluid and minimize risk of fluid collection. Restrata will be applied to the entire wound bed not amenable to primary closure and will be underlaid beneath the surrounding skin edges. A split-thickness skin graft is harvested from patient's thigh at 15:1000 inches and placed on top of the Restrata to cover the entire wound bed. The graft is sutured in place using suture choice of surgeon's preference.

  • Standard of Care Skin GraftProcedure or surgery

    Standard of Care Skin Graft

What is being measured

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

  1. Tendon exposure

    Tendon exposure at four weeks post-operatively (Yes/No).

    Measured: 4 weeks post-operation

  2. Percentage of surface area

    Percentage of surface area of split-thickness skin graft incorporation at four weeks postoperatively.

    Measured: 4 weeks post operation

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Restrata Graft in people with Head and Neck Cancer, run by Nebraska Methodist Health System at 1 site in United States.

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 2 inclusion and 6 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 13 May 2022. 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 United States. 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 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

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 was stopped early (reason given: Investigators no longer interested in pursuing). Results are not available in the source record.

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?

Tendon exposure (time frame: 4 weeks post-operation). 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 13 May 2022.
