Conditions
Trauma Injury
Surgical Wound
Burns
Interventions
Device: SupraSDRM®
Device: NovoSorb® BTM
Registration Number
NCT06503406
Lead Sponsor
The Metis Foundation
Brief Summary

This is a prospective, randomized, controlled, multi-center clinical study comparing SupraSDRM® to standard of care wound dressing, BTM, in the treatment of full-thickness wounds deemed not immediately suitable for definitive grafting will be performed.

Detailed Description

Twenty-four patients with full-thickness wounds fulfilling inclusion criteria of the study will be consented and enrolled into the clinical trial. An area (≥ 5 and ≤125 cm2) deemed not immediately ready to accept skin graft will be designated as the study site. The study site will be randomized to receive either SupraSDRM® or the SoC wound dressing, NovoSorb® BTM.

Supplemental supportive dressings including negative pressure treatment may be used in conjunction with the study dressings.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Number of days between the application of the dermal substitute to when the dermal substitute is deemed suitable for grafting by the treatment care team.up to 5 weeks

This endpoint is based on the ability of the dermal substitute to rapidly vascularize and allow for placement of a skin graft.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Days of skin graft application from time of SupraSDRM® or SoC applicationup to 5 weeks

The wounds will be assessed for their readiness for grafting by their treating surgeon at minimum weekly

Skin graft contractionup to 1 year

Patient and Observer Scar Assessment Scale (POSAS) Questionnaire will be used to assess scaring and contraction. This scale uses a 1-10 rating scale with 1 being normal and 10 being worst imaginable outcome.

Percentage graft survival as assessed 7 days after skin graft application7 days

Percent of graft survival will be measured by clinical assessment

Wound Pain scale 1-10up to 1 year

Patients will be asked to rate their pain 0-10 (0=no pain and 10=a lot of pain) at each visit

Clinical incidence of skin substitute infectionup to 5 weeks

Incidence of infections and inflammatory response and scar development

Number of return trips to the ORup to 1 year

The wounds will be assessed by their care team as part of standard care procedures. Research personal will document any areas of concern or additional surgeries required.

Cost-effectivenessup to 1 year

looking at the overall length of stay in the hospital, the number of trips to the operating room and cost of skin substitute will help determine if the study dressing is more or less cost affective
