Study summary

The goal of this interventional clinical study is to conduct a comprehensive evaluation of the 2910 nm fiber laser focusing on its diverse energy settings. 2 subjects will be recruited for this 2 part histology study. The main This study will provide valuable insights into the device\'s capabilities and expand knowledge of its clinical utility. The first part of this study is intended to optimize treatment parameters based on observed effects at the molecular level. The second part will investigate the state of tissue at different timepoints following treatment.

Part 1 Pre-Clinical Study Procedure:

  • 1 healthy adult (male or female)
  • 18-75 years of age, who are scheduled to undergo an abdominoplasty (where abdominal skin will be excised) will be recruited.
  • Informed consent will be obtained by a delegated member of the study staff prior to the day of surgery.
  • On the day of the scheduled procedure, the laser device will be applied to the skin that will be removed as part of the surgery. The treatment will be completed after induction and prior to prepping for the surgical procedure.

Part 2 Clinical Study Procedure:

  • 1 healthy adult (male or female)
  • 18-75 years of age, who are scheduled to undergo an abdominoplasty (where abdominal skin will be excised) will be recruited.
  • Informed consent will be obtained by a delegated member of the study staff prior to the day of surgery.
  • The study team will utilize the specific setting based off the results of Part 1.
  • Subject will be asked to return to the site on days -30, -3, -2, -1 before their procedure.
  • At each visit, subjects will receive a single pulse treatment in areas that will be marked by the study team.
  • On the day of their procedure, a member of the study team will administer 1 final pulse immediately post-surgery and all 5 timepoints will be harvested for analysis.

Terms in these criteria, in plain language(3)

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.

Informed consent

Before you join, the study team explains what taking part involves — its purpose, what happens, the risks and possible benefits — and answers your questions, so you can decide freely. Consent is usually recorded on a form (the informed consent form, ICF) signed by you or, where the law allows, by someone legally authorised to decide for you.

You can keep asking questions during the study, you are told of new information that matters, and you can choose to leave at any time.

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.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. TUNEL Staining

    Terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase-mediated dUTP nick end labeling (TUNEL) is a robust technique for detecting apoptosis or cell death. Fluorescence intensity of the TUNEL positive cells in the treatment groups compare to control (untreated) will be measured. The data is given as fold change or percentage.

    Time frame: Up to 30 days

  2. Mason's Trichrome

    The structural analysis using Trichrome will be observational to demonstrate any deviation from the normal skin structure (descriptive tool).

    Time frame: Up to 30 days

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 Mar 19, 2024, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
