About this study

Official title: A Randomized, Double-blind, Placebo Self-controlled Phase I/II Clinical Study to Evaluate the Safety, Tolerability and Preventive Efficacy of AK3280 Cream After Cicatrectomy in Patients With Hypertrophic Scar in China.

A randomized, double-blind, placebo self-controlled phase I/II clinical study to evaluate the safety, tolerability and preventive efficacy of different doses of AK3280 cream (AK3287 ) after cicatrectomy in Patients with Hypertrophic Scar in China.

Read the detailed description

Thirty patients with hypertrophic scar who will scheduled for cicatrectomy and meet the all inclusion criteria and none of exclusion criteria will participate in this study. There will be 3 cohorts for 2%, 4%, 8% doses of AK3287 (AK3280 cream) in turn, and 10 participants in each cohort. Participants in every cohort will receive cicatrectomy on day -5, and their incisions will be divided into 3 parts with equal length after length measurement on day 1, named S1, S2, S3. S1 is proximal, and S3 is distal. AK3280 cream (AK3287 ) or placebo will topically administrated to S1 or S3 randomly, twice a day (BID). In this study, S1 and S3 paired, placebo self-control design will be adopted.

The study includes a 4-week screening period, a 12-week drug observation period, and a 2-week safety follow-up period.

What is being measured

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

  1. Assessment of adverse events(AE)/ serious adverse events (SAEs)

    Adverse Events occurring from day1 to last visit will be assessed and graded according to Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events version 5.0.

    Measured: Up to 14 weeks

  2. Number of participants with abnormal Skin Examination

    The skin examination should be performed under sufficient light and at room temperature , including skin lesion, inflammation, allergy, Scar hyperplasia.

    Measured: Up to 14 weeks

  3. Number of participants with abnormal vital signs

    Vital signs: include pulse, respiration, body temperature and blood pressure

    Measured: Up to 14 weeks

  4. Number of participants with abnormal Physical examination findings

    Physical examination : include height, weight, head and neck, mouth, chest, abdomen, lymph nodes, nerves and mind, limbs and other sites

    Measured: Up to 14 weeks

  5. Number of participants with abnormal 12-lead ECG readings

    Measured: Up to 14 weeks

  6. Number of participants with abnormal laboratory test results

    Laboratory tests:include blood routine examination, blood biochemistry ,urine routine test and coagulation function

Secondary outcomes (16)
  1. Within 12 weeks of topical administration, the proportion of scar hyperplasia/recurrence compared in S1 and S3 segment

    There are 4 items in the VSS scale(Vancouver Scar Scale) , Vascularity、 Pigmentation、 Pliability and Height. A total of 13 points, with minimum 0 indicating normal skin and maximum 13 indicating the most scarring and worst appearance. Two trained and skilled physicians are required to objectively evaluate the scar of all subjects. The scar was observed after pressing with a special glass slide for 2 seconds, and the average score of both was used as the final score of VSS to reduce subjective bias.

    Scar hyperplasia/recurrence was defined as the Height item score of the VSS scale ≥2.

    If two investigators had different scores in Height item, for safety, the higher score would be final result.

    Measured: 4 weeks, 8 weeks, 12 weeks, and unscheduled visits (up to 14 weeks)

  2. Within 12 weeks of topical administration, the change of VSS (Vancouver Scar Scale ) total score compared in S1 and S3 segment from baseline

    There are 4 items in the VSS scale(Vancouver Scar Scale) , Vascularity、 Pigmentation、 Pliability and Height. A total of 13 points, with minimum 0 indicating normal skin and maximum 13 indicating the most scarring and worst appearance. Two trained and skilled physicians are required to objectively evaluate the scar of all subjects. The scar was observed after pressing with a special glass slide for 2 seconds, and the average score of both was used as the final score of VSS to reduce subjective bias.

  3. Within 12 weeks of topical administration, the change of mean thickness by 3D photography compared in S1 and S3 segment from baseline

    Taking 5 points in each segment can automatically get the thickness of each point by 3D photography and calculate the average thickness.

    Measured: 4 weeks, 8 weeks, 12 weeks, and unscheduled visits (up to 14 weeks)

  4. Within 12 weeks of topical administration, the change of surface area per centimeter by 3D photography compared in S1 and S3 segment from baseline

    Measured: Up to 14 weeks

  10. AUC0-t (Area under the concentration-time curve from time zero to the last measurable concentration ) of AK3280 after topical administration of AK3280 onitment.

    Measured: Up to 14 weeks

  11. CL/F (apparent clearance) of AK3280 after topical administration of AK3280 onitment.

    Measured: Up to 14 weeks

  12. Cmax of AK3280 M2 after topical administration of AK3280 onitment.

    Four metabolites (M1-M4) were detected in human plasma collected after oral administration of AK3280. M2 is the most abundant metabolite circulating in the blood, also found in urine.

    Measured: Up to 14 weeks

  13. Ctrough of AK3280 M2 after topical administration of AK3280 onitment.

    Measured: Up to 14 weeks

  14. Tmax of AK3280 M2 after topical administration of AK3280 onitment.

    Measured: Up to 14 weeks

  15. AUC0-t of AK3280 M2 after topical administration of AK3280 onitment.

    Measured: Up to 14 weeks

  16. CL/F of AK3280 M2 after topical administration of AK3280 onitment.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing AK3280 Cream in people with Hypertrophic Scar, run by Shanghai Ark Biopharmaceutical Co., Ltd. at 1 site in China.

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 19 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 22 Jun 2026. 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 China. 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 combined phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

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 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 adverse events(AE)/ serious adverse events (SAEs) (time frame: Up to 14 weeks). The study lists 6 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 22 Jun 2026.
