Foreign Body Granuloma 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.

"Outcomes of Surgical Removal of Foreign Body Granulomas"

Start date: January 2014
Phase:
Study type: Observational

Illicit subcutaneous injection of high-viscosity fluids for restoration and improvement of body contour is a growing trend all around the world. Many local and systemic complications have been described. Local complications include deformity at the site of injection, granulomas and several skin changes like erythema, induration, and plaques (well-circumscribed, elevated, superficial, solid lesion). The investigator designed a single-center, cross-sectional, retrospective, consecutive case series study and evaluated 49 surgeries performed in 35 patients with the history of foreign substances injection for cosmetic purposes and developed local complications. Investigators divided 4 groups accordingly to localization of foreign substances (FS). Group 1) FS disseminated to both lower extremities and buttocks; group 2) FS isolated to buttocks with moderate to severe skin changes, Group 3) FS isolated to lower legs with mild skin changes and superficial ulcerations and 4) FS isolated to lower legs with moderate to severe skin changes and/or ulceration. The investigators treated all patients surgically, which consisted of isolate ultrasonic liposuction for extraction of the material from the affected region (group 1) In-bloc excision and primary closure (group 2), Resection plus Vacuum assisted closure (VAC) and split thickness skin graft (STSG) (group 3) and In-bloc excision and microsurgical reconstruction (group 4). Statistical analysis was performed to find relations between type of surgery with complications, reactivation of symptoms, time for reactivation and a disease-free survival test (kaplan meier) was done.
