Skin Graft Scar 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.

Clinical Efficacy and Safety of Sericin Hydrogel Sheet Impregnated With Bird's Nest Extract

Start date: November 1, 2021
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Split-thickness skin graft (STSG) is one of the most common procedures performed in plastic surgery and dermatology. The donor site of skin grafting is expected to heal without scarring. However, hypertrophic scar formation is prevalent among STSG donor sites during scar maturation and has become a significant problem at present. Hypertrophic scar results in aesthetic, physical, functional, and psychological problems, leading to a dramatic impact on patients' quality of life ultimately. There are many current therapeutic approaches for preventing and treating hypertrophic scars; however, they remain clinically unsatisfactory because many treatments have been associated with high recurrent rates, high cost, and side effects. Currently, there are no gold standards for hypertrophic scar therapy. There are many attempts to develop new treatment options for the prevention and management of scarring that are acceptable to both physicians and patients. It has previously been shown that both edible bird's nest (EBN) extract and sericin have effectiveness in reducing scar development. They might be a suitable alternative option for scar prevention and could be used safely. Therefore, the sericin hydrogel sheet impregnated with EBN extract is developed as it is believed that the synergism of these combined compounds would be a great help to prevent the development of scars. This study aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety of sericin hydrogel sheet impregnated with EBN extract for the prevention of scar formation in patients with STSG donor sites.
