realSKIN® for Severe Burn Wounds
This study is testing a new treatment called realSKIN® for severe burn wounds, including full-thickness and deep partial burns. realSKIN® is a special dressing made from pig skin that has been genetically modified. Researchers want to see if realSKIN® can help burn wounds close completely, similar to or better than the standard treatment, which is an autograft. An autograft involves taking healthy skin from another part of your body to cover the burn. This study is for adults aged 18 and older with severe burns covering less than 50% of their body. The main goals are to see how many wounds close completely by 28 days and how much autografting is still needed after 4 months. The current status of this study is unclear.
- Study design
- This is a Phase 3, open-label, randomized study involving about 50 men and women. Each patient will receive both realSKIN® and an autograft on different burn areas.
- What's involved
- Not specified in the trial record.
- Compensation
- Not stated in the trial record.
- Follow-up
- The study will measure wound closure at 28 days and the amount of autografting needed at 4 months after treatment.

What this trial measures
- Incidence of Complete Wound Closure at Post-Treatment Day 28 (± 7 days)Post-Treatment Day 28 (± 7 days)
Complete wound closure is defined as \>95% skin re-epithelization in an area of the treatment site without drainage or dressing requirements by Post-Treatment Day 28 (± 7 days). Durable wound closure is defined as confirmation of complete wound closure in an area of the treatment site at two consecutive evaluations, spaced by no less than 14 days and no more than 5 months. Post-Treatment is defined as time elapsed following autografting and treatment with realSKIN, and is not necessarily time elapsed from time of initial time of injury (i.e. in cases where an interim wound dressings were employed prior to autografting.)
- Percent Area of Treatment Sites AutograftedPost-Treatment Month 4 (± 1 month)
Percent area of treatment sites autografted is the sum of the percent areas at each assessment/visit.
