Safety and Efficacy Study of Autologous Engineered Skin Substitute to Treat Partial- and Full-Thickness Burn Wounds

Status unconfirmed · Phase 2

Conditions studied: Thermal Injury, Deep Partial-Thickness Burn, Full-Thickness Burn

In brief

The purpose of this research study is to test how well the investigational treatment, Engineered Skin Substitutes (ESS-W), works for covering and treating burn wounds. The areas of the body that are treated with ESS-W will be compared to similar areas treated with the patient's own skin (split-thickness skin autograft (AG)). A skin autograft (AG) will be performed by taking healthy skin from one area of the body and placing it on the burned area.

Who can join

Age: 18 and older, up to 40. Sex: any. Healthy volunteers: not accepted.

You may qualify if…

• Has deep partial or full-thickness thermal burns ≥50% of the TBSA and fulfills the total grafting area requirement ranging from 288 cm2 up to 5,600 cm2, divided between two (or more) recipient sites.
• Is expected to require multiple skin grafting procedures.
• Is ≥18 years and ≤40 years of age at the time of enrollment.
• Females of childbearing potential must have a negative pregnancy test prior to enrollment and agree to use appropriate birth control methods during the pre-grafting period and for three months following the last Grafting Day.
• Subject (or a legally authorized representative (LAR)) has provided written informed consent for study participation and procedures to be performed.

You may not qualify if…

• Has a current diagnosis of septic shock or Multiple Organ Dysfunction Syndrome, which in the opinion of the Investigator would put the potential subject at risk of serious morbidity or death by participating in the study.
• Has a current diagnosis of an invasive burn wound infection in unexcised burn wound.
• Is pregnant.
• Is a prisoner at the time of obtaining written informed consent.
• Has a documented history of allergy or sensitivity to any of the antimicrobials or reagents used in preparation and application of ESS-W including the irrigation solution used before and after grafting. These include aminoglycosides, polymyxin B, mupirocin, ciprofloxacin, amphotericin B, hydrocortisone, and insulin.
• Has a documented history of allergy or sensitivity to any of the animal products used in preparation of ESS-W. These products include bovine blood, bovine collagen, bovine collagenase, and porcine trypsin-versene.
• Has a documented history of allergy or sensitivity to glycosaminoglycan, the polymer component of ESS-W.
• Has a documented ongoing condition which could delay wound healing such as insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus, Cushing syndrome or disease, scurvy, chronic hypothyroidism, congenital or acquired immunosuppressive condition, chronic renal failure, or chronic hepatic dysfunction (Child-Pugh class B or C).
• Has a severe malnutrition or other concomitant illness which, in the opinion of the Investigator, has the potential to significantly delay wound healing.
