Study summary

This study is exploratory, non-comparative and open-label, conducted in France. It aims to provide insights into the effectiveness and safety of RV3895A - RY1774, potentially benefiting participants by improving scar appearance and quality of life.The aim of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of the cosmetic product RV3895A - RY1774 on re-epidermised scars of the face and body following burns and surgical stitches in adults, adolescents and children over a 6-month follow-up period.

Patients are divided into 2 groups:

  • Group 1: adults with:
  • Subgroup 1A: adults with post-burn scar(s)

  • Group 2: children and/or adolescents including children aged 2 to 7 years inclusive with:
  • Subgroup 2A: children/adolescents with post-burn scar(s)

The study consists of 4 visits:

Groups and cohorts

  • Group 1A

    Adults with post-burn scar(s)

    Other: Product gel RV3895A

  • Group 1C

    Adults with post-suture scar(s) requiring stitches to be inserted and removed if applicable (in the case of non-absorbable stitches).

    Other: Product gel RV3895A

  • Group 2A

    Children/adolescents with post-burn scar(s).

    Other: Product gel RV3895A

Interventions

  • OtherProduct gel RV3895A

    The product is applied twice a day to the scar(s) under study, avoiding all contact with natural orifices (and avoiding ingestion by children in the case of application to the hands in particular). The product is applied using a specific massage technique developed for the product and which is explained by the investigator at visit 1. The product is applied in sufficient quantity to cover the application area.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Physical aspect of scar(s) compared to normal skin by the investigator

    The investigator assessed the physical appearance of the studied scar(s) in comparison to normal skin using the "POSAS Observer Scale" (Patient and Observer Scar Assessment Scale)

    Time frame: Day 1, Day 22, Day 85, and Day 169

  2. Physical and functional aspect of scar(s) by the subject

    Subjects who were of age to complete the assessment evaluated the physical appearance in comparison to normal skin and the functional appearance of the studied scar(s) using the "POSAS Patient Scale"

    Time frame: Day 1, Day 22, Day 85, and Day 169, and monthly at home between Visit 2 and Visit4

  3. Soothing effect

    The subject/parent(s) or legal guardian(s) evaluated the soothing effect using a Numerical Rating Scale (NRS) to assess discomfort over the past 3 days (except for the evaluation at Day 1 after application) from 0 (no discomfort) to 10 (severe discomfort)

    Time frame: at Day 1 (before and after product application), Day 22, Day 85, and Day 169, and monthly at home between Visit 2 and Visit 4.

  4. Inflammatory aspect of scar

    The investigator evaluated the inflammatory aspect of the scar using the vitropression test

    Time frame: at Day 1, Day 22, Day 85, and Day 169

  5. Evolution of scar aspect compared to Day 1

    The investigator assessed the evolution of the scar's appearance compared to D1 based on all parameters evaluated in the study using a dynamic Investigator's Global Assessment (IGA) scale ranging from -1 (worsening), 0 (no change), 1 (slight improvement), 2 (clear improvement), 3 (very clear improvement)

    Time frame: at Day 22, Day 85, and Day 169

  6. Overall satisfaction with Test product (Investigator's assessment)

    The investigator assessed overall satisfaction with the product's impact on scar appearance based on usual practice and study parameters using an NRS from 0 (not at all satisfied) to 10 (very satisfied)

    Time frame: at Day 22, Day 85, and Day 169

  7. Overall satisfaction with Test product (Subject/Parent/Guardian assessment)

    The subject/parent(s) or legal guardian(s) assessed overall satisfaction with the product's impact on scar appearance using an NRS from 0 (not at all satisfied) to 10 (very satisfied)

    Time frame: at Day 22, Day 85, and Day 169

  8. Erythema quantification

    Erythema was quantified using chromametry through spectrocolorimetric parameters

    Time frame: at Day 1, Day 22, Day 85, and Day 169

  9. Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI)

    Quality of life was assessed by subjects of appropriate age using the Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI) questionnaire

    Time frame: at Day 1, Day 22, Day 85, and Day 169 and monthly at home between Visit 2 and Visit 4

  10. Specific impact of burns on quality of life

    For subgroup 1a (Burns) only : evaluated by subjects using the "body image" and "heat sensitivity" subdomains of the Burn Specific Health Scale-Brief (BSHS-B)

    Time frame: at Day 1, Day 22, Day 85, and Day 169

  11. Visual aspect of the scar through illustrative photographs

    Time frame: at Day 1, Day 22, Day 85, and Day 169.

  12. The quantity of product used calculated by weighing the tubes

    Time frame: Between Day 1 and Day 169

  13. Subjective cosmetic acceptability of the product

    The subjective cosmetic acceptability of the product was evaluated by the subject/parent(s) or legal guardian(s) using a questionnaire

    Time frame: at Day 22, Day 85, and Day 169

  14. Recording of adverse events

    At each visit, the occurrence of adverse events since the last visit was determined based on spontaneous reports from the subject/parent(s) or legal guardian(s), non-subjective questioning, and clinical evaluations performed by the investigator. All adverse events were recorded in the Case Report Form (CRF)

    Time frame: at Day 1 (first application of the product on site), Day 22, Day 85, and Day 169

  15. Overall tolerance assessed by the investigator

    Overall tolerance was assessed by the investigator considering all individual adverse events and their characteristics, as well as past experience with similar products, using a 5-point scale (Excellent, Very Good, Good, Moderate, Poor)

    Time frame: at Day 22, Day 85, and Day 169

  16. Compliance

    The subject was to record in their subject diary the applications of the study product, as well as any omissions and changes in frequency

    Time frame: Duration of the study, from Day 1 to Day 169
