Breast Implant Revision clinical trials

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.

NCT ID: NCT05437757 Active, not recruiting - Clinical trials for Breast Implant Revision

Scaffold-guided Breast Surgery

Start date: June 15, 2022
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The clinical trial is testing the use of a novel method to grow new tissue within the breast injecting fat tissue harvested from patient's own fat deposits. A scaffold implant acts as a resorbable frame to support this growth of cells. The scaffold will be resorbed within at least 3 years. The main assumption of this clinical trial is that the method used is safe and effective for treatment of women requiring a silicone implant and /or correction of breast defect and/or deformity. The other assumption is that this method is applicable to a wider range of tissue defects, such as breast reconstruction after breast tissue removal. The new method is called '3D printed scaffold-based soft tissue regeneration', and uses a combination of own fat cells (called adipocytes) with a 3D printed scaffold to support soft tissue regeneration using the natural healing processes in their body. This substance is resorbable and is similar to the substance used for sutures and stitches that are dissolvable or resorbable in the body. The substance used for the scaffold is already Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) approved for bone reconstruction of the skull. The implanted scaffold degrades over time, leaving the their own tissue in its place. The combination of scaffold implantation and their own fat cells is the novel method in this trial. Conventional liposuction techniques are used from another site on the patients body to harvest their fat cells.
