Study summary

This multicentre phase III clinical trial will target adults and adolescents of 12 years and older with severe burns to confirm the efficacy and functionality of denovoSkin™ in achieving wound closure and reducing scarring in patients with deep partial and full-thickness burns as compared to split-thickness skin.

Inclusion criteria

  • Patients with deep partial or full-thickness thermal burns of ≥20% total body surface area (TBSA) for which excision and standard of care (SOC) (STSG) are clinically indicated
  • Patients of either sex aged ≥12 years
  • Signed from the patient and/or legally authorised representative

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Burn wound areas solely located on the head and neck (i.e., test and control areas must NOT be located on head/neck)
  • Patients eligible to have all areas autografted in a single surgery or significantly earlier than the end of the manufacturing period of denovoSkin™, for whom the application of denovoSkin™ would delay the standard of care therapies
  • Patients with serologic evidence of active virus (HBV) infection (i.e., positive for Hepatitis B surface antigen [HbsAg] or immunoglobulin M total hepatitis B core antibody [anti-HBc]), active infection (hepatitis C virus [HCV] antibody positive), positive (HIV) serology, or positive Treponema pallidum serology assessed as per local standard of care; cured hepatitis C (defined as documented treatment and negative viral load) is not an exclusion
  • Patients with known underlying or concomitant medical conditions that, in the opinion of the Investigator, has the potential to significantly delay wound healing, e.g., (HbA1c) ≥53 mmol/mol and/or systemic skin and connective tissue diseases
  • Patients with pre-existing coagulation disorders as defined by (INR) outside its normal value, a prothrombin time (PT) greater than the , and fibrinogen less than the lower limit of normal prior to the current hospital admission
  • Patients with a history of to amphotericin B, gentamicin, penicillin, streptomycin, or bovine collagen and it's derivatives (e.g. gelatine)
  • Previous treatment with denovoSkin™
  • Participation in any clinical interventional study within 60 days prior to the first IMP administration in case of monoclonal antibodies and \<30 days for all other IMPs
  • Patients unwilling or unable to comply with procedures required in this clinical study protocol
  • Pregnant or lactating women
  • Women of not using highly effective method(s) of (i.e., with low failure rate \<1% per year) throughout the study and/or unwilling to be tested for pregnancy. A negative serum beta-human chorionic gonadotropin (β-hCG) test is required on the day of grafting
  • Patient is the Investigator, one of his/her family members, employees, and other dependent persons
Terms in these criteria, in plain language(11)

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.

Hepatitis B tests

Hepatitis B is a virus that infects the liver. These are separate tests: HBsAg positive usually means a current infection (a recent vaccination can briefly cause it too); total anti-HBc (HBcAb) positive means an infection now or in the past; HBV DNA measures how much virus is in the blood.

Some studies accept a past infection if HBV DNA is undetectable, sometimes with antiviral medicine during the study. Check what this study allows.

Hepatitis C tests

Hepatitis C is a virus that infects the liver. An HCV antibody test can stay positive after an infection has cleared (and is occasionally positive without one); an HCV RNA test shows whether the virus is there now.

After treatment, hepatitis C counts as cured when HCV RNA is still undetectable 12 weeks or more after the treatment ended. Studies often accept people cured this way.

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.

HbA1c

A blood test of average blood sugar over the past two to three months, given as a percentage or in mmol/mol. 6.5% (48 mmol/mol) or more is the usual threshold for diabetes, normally confirmed by a second test.

INR, PT and aPTT (clotting tests)

Blood tests of how long blood takes to clot. The INR is the prothrombin time (PT) put on a common scale; about 1 is usual for someone not taking a blood thinner.

Criteria often make an exception for people on a blood thinner such as warfarin, whose INR is raised on purpose.

ULN (upper limit of normal)

The top of the normal range for a blood test, as set by the laboratory that runs it. Each lab prints its own range next to your result.

“≤ 2.5 × ULN” means the result can be up to two and a half times that top value.

Clinically significant

Judged by the study doctor to matter for your health or for the study. It is a doctor’s decision, so ask the study team if you are unsure whether something counts.

Hypersensitivity

An allergy, or another reaction of the immune system, to a substance. “Hypersensitivity to the study drug” means a known allergic reaction to it — not every side effect a medicine can have.

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.
