Filter by:This will be a multi-centre, double-blind, within-subject, placebo controlled randomised trial in female subjects. All subjects will undergo bilateral breast augmentation surgery. Immediately following surgery, each subject will receive 100µl containing 50ng or 200ng of RN1001 per linear centimetre intradermally into both margins of one breast wound, and 100µl of placebo solution per linear centimetre intradermally into both margins of their other breast wound. The allocation of treatment to wound (left or right) will be randomised and double blind.
Severe scarring is a common problem following breast reduction surgery, studies have shown that over 64% of patients develop a hypertrophic scar at three months after the operation. Scar severity can be influenced by a large number of factors including age, sex, skin thickness and tension, ethnicity and the position of the scar on the body. Therefore the most sensitive and reliable method to assess the efficacy of an anti-scarring treatment is to compare bilateral wounds on the same individual. Bilateral breast reduction surgery provides an ideal model for a within patient evaluation of anti-scarring activity in wounds which develop into bad scars. This study is being undertaken to investigate the efficacy and safety of Juvista (given as an intradermal injection of 200ng per 1cm wound margin) in the reduction of scar appearance applied to approximated wound margins following bilateral reduction mammaplasty.
This study is being undertaken to investigate the efficacy and safety of Juvista (given as an intradermal injection of 200ng/100µl per linear centimetre of wound margin) in the prevention or improvement of scar appearance when administered intradermally to approximated wound margins following surgical scar revision. In addition, this study will compare the scar revision techniques of complete excision (excision of the entire scar during one surgical procedure) and staged excision (excision of the outmost segments and central core separately).
This trial is being undertaken to investigate the efficacy and safety of Juvista in the improvement of scar appearance when administered to approximated wound margins following varicose vein surgery. The results from this trial will be used to select doses for investigation in future clinical trials with the compound.
The purpose of this study is to examine the effect of UV-irradiation on human cutaneous cicatrices by clinical examinations and histological, immunohistochemical and biochemical analyses.
