Registration Number
NCT04743375
Lead Sponsor
Chulalongkorn University
Brief Summary

To examine the efficacy and safety of sericin dressing with collagen in STSG donor site treatment comparing with Bactigras®. Around 30 patients will be enrolled in this study.

Detailed Description

Wounds are a public health problem found worldwide that associated with both clinical and economic burdens. Although several wound dressings are available, some limitations of those dressings still existed resulting in the need for new wound dressing development.

The sericin dressing with collagen was developed to provide a moist environment and bioactive ingredients to the wound bed. To evaluate its efficacy and safety, the STSG donor sites of each patient will be divided into two equal areas. Each area will be randomly allocated into sericin dressing with collagen group or control group (Bactigras®). The outcomes will be collected to examine the efficacy and safety of sericin dressing with collagen in comparison with commercial dressing Bactigras®.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Time to complete healing42 days

The number of days since starting treatment until the primary dressing can spontaneously detach from wound with full re-epithelialization (at least 95% re-epithelialization) without any drainage.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Incidence of infection42 days

The incidence of infection will be reported as "present" or "not present". Infection wound is wound which has purulent secretion or some of the inflammatory reactions (erythema, warmth, pain or tenderness, or induration) and has positive result from microbiological test.

Incidence of adverse effect42 days

Adverse effects on hepatic function, renal function, and other adverse effects resulted from dressing application will be reported as "present" or "not present".

Pain score42 days

Pain score evaluated by patient using visual analog scales (0-10)

Vancouver scar scale (VSS)6 months

Vancouver scar scale evaluated by clinician at 1, 3, and 6 months after complete wound healing

Patient scale of Patient and observer scar scale (POSAS)6 months

Patient scale of Patient and observer scar scale (POSAS) evaluated by patients 6 months after complete wound healing

Melanin level6 months

Melanin level measured by using Mexameter® at 1, 3, and 6 months after complete wound healing

Trans-epidermal water loss (TEWL)6 months

TEWL measured by using Tewameter® at 1, 3, and 6 months after complete wound healing

Skin hydration6 months

Hydration level measured by using Corneometer® at 1, 3, and 6 months after complete wound healing

Erythema level6 months

Erythema level measured by using Mexameter® at 1, 3, and 6 months after complete wound healing

Skin elasticity6 months

Elasticity parameters measured by using Cutometer® at 1, 3, and 6 months after complete wound healing
