A study to check if the use of a skin model engeneered in the laboratory byusing your own skin cells (EHSG-KF), is safe and effective to treat partialdeep dermal and full thickness skin defects in adults and children in comparison to autologous split-thickness skin grafts (STSG)

- Target Recruitment
- 20
? Age: =1 year of age
? Large full-thickness defects that require coverage after excision
of:
o Scars
o Benign skin tumors (e.g. neurofibroma)
o Melanocytic nevus (e.g. giant nevus)
o Gender reassignment surgery
o Soft tissue defect after trauma
o Soft tissue defect after infection and debridement (e.g.
necrotizing fascitis, hidradentitis suppurativa, purpura
fulminans)
o Flap donorsite (e.g. radial forearm flap)
? Minimal areas requiring coverage (not counting the head and neck
area for study patients in The Netherlands):
o Minimum: 1-5 y: 9 cm2
o Minimum: 6-16 years: 25 cm2
o Minimum: > 16 years: 45 cm2
? Signed Informed consent from the patient or the legally authorized
representative.

? Patients tested positive for HBV, HCV, syphilis or HIV
? Patients with known underlying or concomitant medical conditions
that may interfere with normal wound healing (e.g. systemic skin
and connective tissue diseases, any kind of congenital defect of
metabolism including insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus,
Cushing syndrome or disease, scurvy, chronic hypothyroidism,
congenital or acquired immunosuppressive condition, chronic
renal failure, or chronic hepatic dysfunction (Child-Pugh class B or C), severe malnutrition, or other concomitant illness which, in the
opinion of the Investigator, has the potential to significantly delay
wound healing)
? Severe drug and alcohol abuse
? Pre-existing coagulation disorders as defined by INR outside its
normal value, PTT >ULN and fibrinogen hospital admission and / or at the Investigator’s discretion
? Patients allergic to amphotericin B and gentamicin
? Previous enrolment of the patient into the current phase II study
? Participation of the patient in another study with conflicting
endpoints within 30 days preceding and during the present study
? Patients expected not to comply with the study protocol (including
patients with severe cognitive dysfunction/impairment and severe
psychiatric disorders)
? Pregnant or breast feeding females
? Intention to become pregnant during the clinical course of the
study (12 months)
? Wounds in the head and neck area as study target area (only
applicable for study patients in The Netherlands)
? Enrolment of the Investigator, his/her family members, employees
and other dependent persons
