Filter by:This trial will investigate whether four doses of RN1001 (20ng, 50ng, 100ng and 200ng) are efficacious in preventing or reducing the resultant scar, as compared to placebo, when applied intradermally to wound margins following excision of benign naevi situated on the head and neck.
A study to compare the rate of complete wound closure and quality of resulting scar at 3, 6 and 9 months, between dermatome-induced skin wounds treated with Collagenase Santyl Ointment versus vehicle alone.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety profile and the treatment effect of Isolagen TherapyTM and placebo when administered to facial acne scars.
Fractionated laser resurfacing is commonly used as a treatment for acne scarring in fair skinned individuals. This study aims to test the efficacy and safety in darker skin types. Patients are randomized to either the 10mJ 40mJ dosages and receive a total of five treatments at 17% one month apart. Improvement is judged by a dermatologist as 0-25%, 25-50%, 50-75% or 75-100%. Side effects such as pigmentary abnormalities and pain are also evaluated.
This is a single-centre, double-blind, Placebo-controlled, randomised trial. Trial subjects received four 1cm incisional wounds on the inner aspect of each upper arm (eight in total), giving four pairs of anatomically matched wound sites per subject. Each subject acted as their own control. One site from each anatomical wound pair was randomly treated with intradermally administered avotermin (Juvista:100μL per linear cm of wound site pre-operatively and 100μL per linear cm of wound margin post-wounding on Day 0 or Day 1, 400μL per wound site) while the second site was a paired control, treated with Placebo (100μL per linear cm of wound site pre-operatively and 100μL per linear cm of wound margin post-wounding on Day 0 or Day 1, 400μL per wound site). Wound margins for injection were defined as extending 0.5cm from either end of the incision. Four doses of avotermin (Juvista) were administered to each subject: 5ng, 50ng, 200ng and 500ng/100μL per linear cm; one dose to one wound site per anatomically matched pair of wounds. The second wound site from each anatomically matched pair of wounds was dosed with placebo. Allocation of treatment to wound-site pairs was randomised and double blinded. Primary objective To determine the optimal concentration and dose regimen of Juvista for the improvement of the resultant scar when applied to the approximated wound margins of male and female subjects following surgical incisions. Secondary objective To assess the safety and tolerance of Juvista when applied to the approximated wound margins of male and female subjects following surgical incisions.
This study was undertaken to investigate the scar-improvement efficacy and safety of a single dose of avotermin (Juvista) injection into skin incisions.
This study was undertaken to investigate safety and scar-improvement activity of different applications of Juvista (avotermin), administered to surgical incisions made to the skin of a healthy population of male volunteers aged 18-45 years. The study addressed two issues: whether Juvista (avotermin) administered at 200ng/100μl/linear cm wound margin is more effective than 50ng/100μl/linear cm for scar improvement and, secondly, whether dosing once only (before wounding) or twice (before and after wounding) is optimal for scar improvement.
So far the evaluation of scar treatment was based on subjective criteria. The patient groups were divided into treated versus non-treated. In this study we use patients undergoing ear reconstruction with autologous rib cartilage. The thoracic scar of harvesting the rib cartilage is routinely reopened after 3 month during second stage of reconstruction. Therefore we have a ideal model of clinical, physiological and histological scar evaluation in a homologous patient group. All patients randomly treat one half of the scar with a silicone gel (Dermatix). The other half is untreated as an internal control.
The primary objective of this study is to look at the efficacy of subdermal manipulation and filler injection in the improvement of acne scar appearance.
The purpose of this study is to compare the effects of the pulsed-dye laser (PDL) at two different wavelengths, 585nm and 595nm, in the treatment of post-surgical scars starting on suture-removal day.
