Evaluation of Safety and Efficacy of realSKIN® (Skin Xenotransplant) for Complete Closure of Severe Burn Wounds

Brief summary

Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.

This is a Phase 1/2, Open-label, Multi-center, Clinical Trial to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and efficacy of realSKIN® to provide complete wound closure of severe and extensive deep-partial and full-thickness burn wounds. Approximately 25 total subjects will be enrolled. Subjects who meet eligibility criteria and provide written informed consent will receive realSKIN® placement at a single burn wound site. The designated realSKIN® product size will be placed on the burn wound following wound site preparation, including necessary debridement and tangential excision as determined by burn surgeon and secured in place via suturing or stapling. The remaining burn wound will be covered with human cadaver allograft and treated according to local standard of care with care to avoid any overlap or significant contact of the two temporary wound dressings. The Investigator will assess the wounds and identify the matched pair of burn sites then the treatments will be randomly assigned to the sites. realSKIN® will remain in place until intentional removal per Investigator's direction consistent with subject's overall clinical course, or if it is deemed to no longer provide effective wound closure and barrier function to the wound bed. The Investigator will follow local standard of care relevant to wound care and dressing changes while the realSKIN® is in place. Standard of care burn management will be provided by the Investigator. Routine vital sign assessments, photography, laboratory tests (hematology, chemistry, and urinalysis), physical exams, and adverse event monitoring will occur while realSKIN® is in place and for up to 1 year following initial placement. Subjects will be monitored via a passive and active screening program using blood samples collected at time points throughout the study period, as adapted from FDA Guidance for Industry. The risk of transmission of infectious disease is expected to be extremely low and while limited human trial data are available there have been no reports of transmission of porcine microorganisms to humans, and to date, there have been no adverse events (AEs) related to the use of realSKIN® observed or reported, and independent analysis of PERV data and medical records by the Safety Review Committee has indicated no evidence of zoonotic transmission in this trial.
