What participants receive

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

  • MMS + Autologous patchProcedure or surgery

    A patch of consisting of platelets, leucocytes and fibrin, formed by the patients own blood sample.

  • MMS and secondary intention healingProcedure or surgery

    Mohs micrographic surgery (standard of care) (wounds will heal by secondary intention healing)

What is being measured

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

  1. Blinded assesment of wound healing at day 18-20.

    Two indenpendent trained clinical doctors will evaluate clinical photos. Wounds will be evaluated fully epithelialized yes/no.

    Measured: Day 18-20

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Blinded assesment of wound healing at day 11-13

    Clinical photos from day 11-13 will be evaluated. Wounds will be evaluated 50% fully epithelialized yes/no.

    Measured: day 11-13

  2. TEWL measurement

    Trans epidermal water loss (TEWL) will be meassured at day 11-13 and day 18-20. The TEWL will be meassured on the wound healing site and the contralateral site of the patient's face as a control.

    Measured: day 11-13 and day 18-20

  3. Scar evaluation using the patient-observer-scar-assesment-scale (POSAS) at 6 months follow-up.

    The POSAS observer scores scar components with regards to: Vascularity, pigmentation, thickness, surface area, relief and pliability. The collected sum of scores will range from minimum 6 points to maximum 60 points.

    Measured: 6 months

  4. Difference in microbiology between intervention wounds and control wounds.

    Swab test for microbiome analysis will be conducted at day 1 and day 11-13.

    Measured: day 1 and day 11-13

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing MMS + Autologous patch and MMS and secondary intention healing in people with Skin Cancer and Basal Cell Carcinoma, run by Bispebjerg Hospital at 1 site in Denmark.

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 4 inclusion and 5 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

The record says: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 16 Mar 2023. 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 Denmark. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Katrine E Karmisholt, MD, PhD (+4561664351, katrine.elisabeth.karmisholt@regionh.dk), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Blinded assesment of wound healing at day 18-20. (time frame: Day 18-20). 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 16 Mar 2023.
