A Study to Evaluate the Safety and Effectiveness of Different Doses of Chrysalin in Adults Who Have a Broken Wrist

Phase 2
Terminated
Conditions
Radius Fracture
Interventions
Drug: Placebo
Registration Number
NCT00131482
Lead Sponsor
Capstone Therapeutics
Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety of Chrysalin, also known as TP508, and to determine the effectiveness of four doses of Chrysalin for treating broken wrists in adults.

Detailed Description

There is a medical need for a product that is safe and can accelerate the rate of bone healing, leading to a reduction in immobilization time. Chrysalin, also known as TP508, is a synthetic peptide (protein) that is an exact copy of part of the human protein thrombin, which is a protein that occurs naturally in the body. Chrysalin can be used to mimic part of the thrombin response after injury without stimulating any of the events associated with blood clotting, and can therefore accelerate the normal process of healing.
