Chemical Burn 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.

Burn Injury In a Child Due to Cyanoacrylate-Based Nail Glue- Case Report and Literature Review

Cyanoacrylate

Start date: June 1, 2019
Phase:
Study type: Observational

Cyanoacrylate is used in the manufacturing of surgical adhesives, nail glue and super glue. After contact with cotton or wool, among other substances, a reaction is ignited, inflicting thermal damage to the skin underlying clothes. Nine papers have been published about such an incidence, majority of which involve children. In this paper, a four-year-old girl suffering from mixed-first-and-second degree burns due to cyanoacrylate spillage over the digits, anterior aspect of the right thigh and a patch of the skin on the left upper abdomen, spanning 4% of the total body surface area. The clothes were forcefully removed by the mother and shampoo was applied over the area. In the ER, irrigation with normal saline was done followed by dressing with paraffin- impregnated gauzes and silver sulfadiazine. Volar slabs were placed on the hands. The dressing in the hands was later changed to fusidic acid as the burn healed. Silicone sheet dressing was initiated twenty-eight days later after complete healing of the burned skin. An experiment conducted by the authors showed no difference in the pH of different cyanoacrylate products. The pH was not changed after applying shampoo over the nail glue immersed dip-stick. This paper aims to improve awareness about proper first-aid management which predicts the quality of the outcome. Further emphasis is required on providing a safe environment for the children and clear, comprehendible warning of hazards on the label of the cyanoacrylate based-products.
