Study summary

Twelve acute wounds (6 on either side of the umbilicus) will be surgically created in the lower abdominal area. One side of the umbilicus will be randomized to Oxygenesys treatment arm and the other side will be receiving a standard Tegaderm treatment arm. Time to wound healing will be observed over 14 days.

Read the detailed description

At least 12 study visits will occur over a 3 month timeframe. Twelve acute wounds (6 on either side of the umbilicus) will be surgically created in the lower abdominal area. One side of the umbilicus will be randomized to Oxygenesys treatment arm and the other side will be receiving a standard Tegaderm treatment arm. Time to wound healing will be observed over 14 days (follow up assessments include wound photography, pain scores, wound biopsies, exudate collection, gene expression and proteomic analysis, scar assessment and adverse event collections. Study visits will occur at:

Prescreening Visit; Day of wounding; Day 2; Day 7; Day 8-14 (until all wounds have healed); Day 28; Day 42; Abdominoplasty Surgery. An abdominoplasty will occur after day 42.

Inclusion criteria

  • Males or non-pregnant females aged 21-85 years. Female subjects of child bearing potential must be using method(s) of contraception acceptable to the Investigator and agree to do so from at least the screening visit until one month after administration of the final study dressing.
  • Subject is willing to undergo the creation of twelve experimental donor sites 1.0" x 1.0" in size with a depth between 0.0012"-0.0018" taken from the abdomen per a modification of the Northwestern Abdominoplasty Scar Model
  • Subjects who are medically acceptable candidates for abdominoplasty (BMI approximately 25-35 kg/m2) as determined by per-study laboratory assessment and clinical evaluation.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Healing in Days.

    Wound healing will be defined as 90% re-epithelialization. Mean time to healing will be compared between the OxyGenesys treated sites and the control treated sites.

    Time frame: 14 days

Secondary outcomes

  1. Wound Degree of Epithelialization Percent Change by Digital Photography at Each Time Point Post Wounding.

    Wound degree of epithelialization percent change by digital photography at day 14.

    Time frame: Day 14

  2. Pain on Test Versus Control Side Using a Wong-Baker Scale.

    Subjects will report pain level on each side of their abdomen at day 14. The Wong-Baker scale is: 0 points = no hurt, 2 = hurts little bit, 4 = hurts little more, 6 = hurts even more, 8 = hurts whole lot, 10 = hurts worst. A grand mean and standard deviation (reported below) were determined by combining participant scores.The identical group mean and standard deviation values reported below are correct.

    Time frame: Day 14

  3. Biopsy & Histology of Wounds.

    Biopsies will be taken from all wounds at day 28. Analysis of tissue samples will specifically evaluate differences and rates of collagen deposition, angiogenesis and re-epithelialization between the two study arms.

    Time frame: Day 28

  4. Scar Quality Analysis; Modified Vancouver Scar Scale (MVS)

    Scar quality will be assessed and analyzed between the two groups using the Modified Vancouver Scar Scale at day 42. The MVS assessment is the tool that the Investigator will use to evaluate scar pliability (0 points = normal, 1 = supple, 2 = yielding, 3 = firm, 4 = adherent), height (0 = normal, 1 = 1-2 mm, 2 = 3-4 mm, 3 = 5-6 mm, 4 = \> 6 mm), vascularity (0 = normal, 1 = pink, 2 = red, 3 = purple), and pigmentation (0 = normal, 1 = slight, 2 = moderately, 3 = severely). An average score for each participant was calculated by combining scores from each subscale. Average participant scores in each study group were combined to produce a grand mean and standard deviation for each group (reported below).

    Time frame: Day 42

  5. Scar Quality Analysis; Visual Analogue Scale

    Scar quality of each study participant was assessed by using the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) at day 42. The VAS is an 11-point scale that ranges from 0 (normal skin) to 10 (worst possible scar). The values on the scale indicate the observer's global impression of the scar (lower numbers are better than higher numbers).

    Time frame: Day 42

  6. Scar Quality Analysis; Elastometer

    Scar quality was to be assessed for each study participant using an elastometer at day 42. An elastometer is used to assess scar elasticity. Unfortunately, the data for this study endpoint were not collected properly, and despite our best efforts, there is no way to resolve this issue. Thus, no data can be reported for this study outcome.

    Time frame: Day 42

  7. Scar Quality Analysis; Colorimeter

    Scar quality was to be assessed for each study participant using a colorimeter at day 42. A colorimeter was to be used to measure the extent of erythema, and melanin content, of the skin. Unfortunately, the data for this study endpoint were not collected properly, and despite our best efforts, there is no way to resolve this issue. Thus, no data can be reported for this study outcome.

    Time frame: Day 42

Each participant was assigned to both study groups (acted as her own control), as four wounds on one side of each participant were treated with OxyGenesys dressing, and four wounds on the opposite side of each participant were treated with the Tegaderm control dressing. In some instances, not all of the participants contributed data to outcomes.

Timeline

Tracking since Sep 25, 2026
ElapsedEstimatedEstimated, not yet reachedSimilar studies: half by the dot; the band is the middle halfHalf of similar studies reached it by the dot; the band is the middle half, from a quarter to three quarters

Ran from Oct 2015 to primary completion in Sep 2016, 11 months.

Results were first posted in Oct 2017, 1 year 1 month after primary completion.

Of 105 industry-sponsored interventional studies with no phase under Wounds and Injuries, half reached primary completion within 17 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 9 and three quarters within 29. This study's 11 months is below that.

Counting every sponsor, half of 1,394 studies reached it within 21 months; a quarter within 9 and three quarters within 43.

Wounds and Injuries covers many different conditions, not one, so the studies compared here vary widely. Read these figures as a rough guide.

How these figures are worked out, and which studies are left out of them.

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on Oct 4, 2017, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
