Inclusion criteria

ll patients enrolled must meet all the following criteria:

  1. Patient with burn injury that meets all of the following requirements:

    1. Occurred within the last 48 hours
    2. Wound is thermal in nature
    3. Partial-thickness burn (burn extends through the epidermis and may penetrate into the dermis)
    4. Total body surface area (TBSA) of burn(s) is 2-20% for all subjects
    5. Burn area(s) located on smooth, flat surface
    6. 2 burn areas, each with a minimum size of 16cm2 (burn areas may be two separate burns or within one large burn, see Section 9.4.2)
  2. Age ≥ 12 months and ≤ 70 years

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

Subjects meeting any of the following criteria will be excluded:

  1. Burns meeting any of the following criteria:

    1. Mechanism of injury was electrical, radiation, chemical or frostbite
    2. Wound is larger than 200 cm2
    3. Clinically infected burn (as judged by the investigator)
    4. Previous or planned treatment of the Burn Area(s) with any of the following:

      • Biological Skin Substitutes (including Apligraf®, Dermagraft®, etc.)
  2. Patient criteria that will make patient ineligible for enrollment:

    1. Ventilator dependence
    2. Active malignant disease or patient is less than 1 year disease-free
    3. Use of agents, radiation or chemotherapy within the past 30 days
    4. Auto-immune disorders including Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE), Fibromyalgia, Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (AIDS) or (HIV)
    5. Presence of any condition (including current drug or alcohol abuse, medical or psychiatric condition) that is likely to impair understanding of or compliance with the study protocol in the judgment of the Investigator
    6. Presence of any condition that is likely to compromise healing in the judgment of the Investigator
    7. Pregnancy at enrollment or within last 6 months, women who are breastfeeding, or women of who are planning to become pregnant during the time of the study OR are unwilling/unable to use acceptable methods of (birth control pills, barriers, or abstinence)
    8. Patient has been on any drug(s) or therapeutic device(s) in the last 30 days or any previous enrollment in this study
  3. Allergy or known sensitivity to any of the following:

    2. Silver

Terms in these criteria, in plain language(5)

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.

Immunosuppression

A weakened immune system. It can come from an illness, such as HIV or some blood cancers, or from medicines that turn the immune system down, for example after an organ transplant or for an autoimmune disease; steroids at higher doses count.

Read whether the line is about a condition or about medicines, and which medicines and doses it means.

HIV

The human immunodeficiency virus, which weakens the immune system.

Many studies now accept people whose HIV is controlled on treatment, judged by the viral load and the CD4 count. Check the limits this study sets.

Childbearing potential

Able to become pregnant: from the first period until menopause, unless permanently unable to through surgery (removal of the womb, or of both ovaries or both fallopian tubes).

Criteria for people of childbearing potential usually ask for a negative pregnancy test and for contraception during the study and for a time after it.

Contraception

Ways of preventing pregnancy. “Highly effective” methods fail less than 1% of the time a year when used correctly — for example an IUD or an implant.

Criteria usually say which methods count and how long to keep using them after the last dose, sometimes for male participants too. Some studies accept a partner’s vasectomy if it was confirmed successful and that person is the participant’s only sexual partner.

Investigational drug or device

A drug or device being studied in a clinical trial.

It may be new, or already approved and being studied for another use, dose or form. Criteria often leave out people who took part in another study of one within a recent period, commonly 30 days or five half-lives.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Healing Rate

    95% epitheliazation as assesses by the investigator

    Time frame: 3 weeks

  2. Freedom from Scarring

    Vancouver Scar Scale: consists of four variables: pliability, vascularity, height (thickness), and pigmentation. Each variable has four to six possible scores. A total score ranges from 0 to 14, whereby a score of 0 reflects normal skin.

    Time frame: 3 Months

Secondary outcomes

  1. Reduction in pain

    Visual Analog Scale or FLACC Behavioral Pain Assessment Scale:VAS-No pain on left of line, worst pain imaginable on the right of line; FLACC- 0-2, (0 being least uncomfortable to 2 which is very uncomfortable)

    Time frame: 3 weeks
