Evaluation of the Safety, Pharmacokinetics, and Preliminary Effect on Scar Formation by RXI-109
- Registration Number
- NCT01640912
- Lead Sponsor
- RXi Pharmaceuticals, Corp.
- Brief Summary
The primary purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of a single intradermal administration of RXI-109 at small surgical incisions in the abdominal skin that will later be removed during an elective abdominoplasty. The effect of RXI-109 versus placebo on scarring at these incision sites will be evaluated visually and histologically.
