Completed

• Conditions: Burns

• Registration Number: CTRI/2011/09/002030
• Lead Sponsor: Ranbaxy Laboratories Ltd

Brief Summary

This study is a randomized, open-label, comparative, pilot study. Objective of this study is to collect data for selection of a suitable strength of silver sulfadiazine cream (Nanonized) for future pivotal study.xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /

After screening, eligible patients will be randomized to one of the three topical antimicrobial treatment groups i.e, Silver sulfadiazine cream nanonized (0.5%), Silver sulfadiazine cream nanonized (0.75%) & Silverex cream 1%. The cream will be applied once daily in case of closed dressings & twice daily in case of open dressings.

Treatment with study medication will be continued until the wound(s) heal or upto day 21, whichever is earlier. All subjects will be called for a safety followup assessment on day 42.

 Study will be initiated only after obtaining regulatory approval & EC approval from respective sites.

Recruitment & Eligibility

• Status: Completed
• Sex: All
• Target Recruitment: 36

Inclusion Criteria

• Subjects who have given written informed consent to participate in the study.
• Subjects of either sex aged between 18 and 65 years (both inclusive) with partial thickness burns of thermal origin covering 10% of the TBSA and suitable for outpatient management.
• Subjects in whom burn injury is 24 hours old at the time of screening.
• Subjects with clean, non-infected wound as judged by the investigator.Presence of infection will be judged clinically by symptoms and signs that include purulent drainage, erythema, warmth, exudation, malodor, pain and/or fever.

Exclusion Criteria

• 1.Subjects with history of hypersensitivity to silver sulfadiazine, other sulfonamides, chlorhexidine or any of the excipients of study formulations#.
• 2.Subjects with burn wounds associated with chemical, electrical or inhalational injury.
• 3.Subjects with full thickness burns (a burn involving destruction of the entire epidermis and dermis, leaving no residual epidermal cells to repopulate) or circumferential burns (a burn which encircles an entire body part) or superficial burn (a burn which remains confined to the epidermis).
• 5.Subjects with burns of hands or feet likely to cause functional impairment.
• 6.Subjects with burn wounds not expected to heal within 21 days or requiring systemic antimicrobial treatment or surgical intervention (except surgical debridement) during the study.
• 7.Subjects with burn wounds expected to heal in less than 7 days.
• 8.Subjects with burns and concomitant trauma (such as fractures) in which the burn injury poses the greatest risk of morbidity and mortality.
• 9.Burn injury in subjects with preexisting medical disorders (e.g., diabetes mellitus, cancer or other immunocompromising conditions) that could complicate management, prolong recovery, or affect mortality.
• 10.Subjects who are under treatment with topical or systemic steroid medications or immunosuppressive agents.
• 11.Subjects with significant disease(s) or disorder(s) other than burn injury that in the opinion of the investigator may (i) put the subject at risk because of participation in the study (ii) interfere with the study evaluations or (iii) cause concern regarding subject’s ability to participate in the study.
