Official title
A Phase II, Dose-escalation, Open-label Study Evaluating the Safety and Efficacy of Permanently-placed Acellular Adipose Tissue (AAT) in Human Subjects With Modest Soft Tissue Defects of the Trunk
Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
Although other methods (e.g., autologous fat transfer, dermal-/collagen-based fillers) for soft tissue reconstruction exist, each has distinct disadvantages leaving room for improvement in this treatment area. Investigators in the Elisseeff Laboratory (Johns Hopkins University Department of Biomedical Engineering) have recently generated a novel tissue-derived material to create instructive matrices for soft tissue reconstruction called Acellular Adipose Tissue (AAT). This material takes advantage of the inherent bioactivity and unique mechanical properties of subcutaneous adipose tissue. Investigators' preclinical data suggest that AAT is safe for use in small and large animals; investigators' clinical (Phase I) data suggest that AAT is safe for use in humans. These data indicate that a Phase II, dose-escalation study of AAT's safety and efficacy in human subjects is warranted.
