Study summary

The purpose of this trial is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of multiple (3) intradermal doses of RXI-109 at small surgical incisions in the abdominal skin of healthy volunteers. The effect of RXI-109 versus placebo on scarring at these incision sites will be evaluated visually, histologically, and by biomarker analysis.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. To assess the safety and tolerability of multiple intradermal administrations of RXI-109

    Evaluate safety and tolerability of multiple administrations of RXI-109 at the site of intradermal injection. Examine and assess any and all local and systemic toxicities

    Time frame: 12 weeks

Secondary outcomes

  1. To assess the effect of multiple intradermal administrations of RXI-109 on scar formation

    Assess visual outcome and histology of scars. Digital images of the RXI-109 and placebo-treated incisions/scars will be captured and scored.

    Time frame: 12 weeks

Other outcomes

  1. To assess the timeline and levels of biomarkers

    Analysis of immunohistochemical analysis of biomarkers common to the scar formation pathway.

    Time frame: 12 weeks
