About this study

Official title: Histological Analysis of AlloMend® Acellular Dermal Matrix Used During the Initial Pre Pectoral Placement of Tissue Expanders for Breast Reconstruction and Evaluated at Time of Permanent Breast Implantation

This is a prospective, histologic analysis of biopsied tissue obtained from participants who have undergone a pre-pectoral breast reconstruction or augmentation surgery with expander placement and AlloMend® Acellular Dermal Matrix.

AlloMend® Acellular Dermal Matrix graft incorporation with surrounding native soft tissue using histological assays characterizing host cell infiltration, neovascularization, inflammation, and host replacement of ADM collagen will be studied.

Read the detailed description

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the incorporation of AlloMend® Acellular Dermal Matrix with native surrounding tissue by obtaining up to three, 1 cm diameter biopsies per breast. The samples will then be transported to AlloSource Research and Development Labs for slide preparation and histologic analysis.

This study will be performed at one (1) clinical center in the United States.

What is being measured

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

  1. AlloMend® Acellular Dermal Matrix graft incorporation when used in a soft tissue application

    The primary endpoint being evaluated in this study is AlloMend® Acellular Dermal Matrix graft incorporation when used in a soft tissue application. The endpoint will be analyzed from biopsied tissue samples taken during the exchange of expander to permanent breast implant using histological assays characterizing host cell infiltration, neovascularization, inflammation, and host replacement of ADM collagen.

    Measured: At expander/implant exchange surgery; typically 1-3 months post expander placement

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Infection rates

    Information collected through clinical standard of care

    Measured: Up to 6 months post expander/implant exchange

  2. Seroma rates

    Information collected through clinical standard of care

    Measured: Up to 6 months post expander/implant exchange

  3. Hematoma rates

    Information collected through clinical standard of care

    Measured: Up to 6 months post expander/implant exchange

  4. Drain outputs and timing of drain removal

    Information collected through clinical standard of care

    Measured: Up to 6 months post expander/implant exchange

  5. Revision surgeries

    Information collected through clinical standard of care

    Measured: Up to 6 months post expander/implant exchange

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Breast Implant; Complications, Infection or Inflammation, run by AlloSource 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 4 inclusion and 2 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: under way, not looking for participants, as of the sponsor's last update on 21 Nov 2025. 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.

Are results available for this study?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

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?

AlloMend® Acellular Dermal Matrix graft incorporation when used in a soft tissue application (time frame: At expander/implant exchange surgery; typically 1-3 months post expander placement). 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 21 Nov 2025.
