Treatment of Keloid Scar by Autologous Platelet Rich Plasma Obtained With RgenKit-BCT
- Conditions
- Keloid
- Interventions
- Device: Autologous Platelet Rich Plasma obtained with RegenKit®-BCT
- Registration Number
- NCT02922972
- Lead Sponsor
- Regen Lab SA
- Brief Summary
The aim of this prospective study is to assess the efficacy of autologous Platelet Rich Plasma prepared with RegenKit-BCT in the prevention and the treatment of keloid scars refractory to conventional treatments. Fifteen patients were included and received three PRP injection sessions with a one-month interval. The outcomes were assessed at baseline (before treatment), 3, 6, 12 and 24 months after the last injection session. Safety was assessed by reported adverse event analysis.
- Detailed Description
To evaluate the efficacy and the safety of platelet rich plasma in the treatment of keloid scars. This prospective, comparative study (before-after treatment) included 15 patients with keloid scars refractory to conventional treatment (corticoids, surgery, cryotherapy). The primary outcome was the percentage of patients achieving a complete remission of their keloid scar 2 years after the end of treatment. Secondary outcomes were the Vancouver scar scale and pruritus severity scored at 3, 6, 12 and 24 months post treatment vs baseline.

- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Percentage of patients achieving a complete remission of their keloid scar 2 years after the end of treatment. 24 months The efficacy of autologous platelet concentrate obtained with RegenKit®-BCT was assessed based on the percentage of patients achieving a complete remission of their keloid scar 2 years after the end of treatment.
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Adverse events 24 months Adverse events were reported.
prirutis severity 24 months The efficacy of the treatment was also assessed on the Pruritus severity
Pain assessment 3 months pain assessment during injections were also scored using the VAS.
Evaluation of the scar using Vancouver scale. 24 months The efficacy of the treatment was also assessed and determined using the Vancouver scar scale.
patient satisfaction 24 months Patient satisfaction at the end of follow-up was assessed using a 0-10 VAS
