Skin Prick Test of KeraStat® Cream

To evaluate the potential for a humoral reaction to KeraStat Cream compared to a predicate device using the skin prick test.

Study Overview: Study Periods: The length of study participation for a subject is about 2-3 days depending on availability for the final site check. There are two skin prick site checks during the course of Day 1 with a final follow up between Days 2 and 3. Study Evaluations: Initial screening (Screening Visit; Visit 1) will be performed on the day of the Skin Prick Test (SPT) administration and will include obtaining demographic information, brief medical history, and abbreviated physical exam. On Day 1 (Visit 1) the SPT will be performed on the infrascapular region of the back to the right of the midline. Test articles will include the subject device (KeraStat Cream), predicate devices (KeraStat Gel, Biafine), positive control (histamine), and negative control (saline). Each test article will have a single administration, only the re-test will utilize a triplicate administration. The SPT will be ready for initial reading after approximately 15 minutes (but no sooner than 10 minutes and no longer than 20 minutes) following the final SPT administration in the series. When reading the test, the investigator will note the presence or absence of a wheal at all five sites and will measure the diameter of each wheal present. In order for the SPT to be valid, the wheal at the positive control site must exceed that at the negative control by 4 mm. If the above criteria are not met, the SPT will be repeated in triplicate on the infrascapular region of the back to the left of the midline, following the same protocol. Following the initial reading, the subject will remain at the testing facility. A second reading will be conducted approximately 6 hours (+/- 15 minutes) after SPT administration on Day 1 (Visit 1). When reading the test, the investigator will note the presence or absence of a wheal at all five sites and will measure the diameter of each wheal present. Subjects are free to leave the clinical site after the second reading. Subjects will be instructed to promptly contact the PI and go to the ER if symptoms of an allergic reaction or shock occur. Subjects will return to the office one to two days after initial administration for a third test reading (Visit 2). When reading the test, the investigator will note the presence or absence of a wheal in all five sites and will measure the diameter of each wheal present. Each site of test article administration will be measured for a positive reaction. A positive reaction is present when there is a measurable wheal of 3 mm or more, surrounded by a flare. Small wheals are to be confirmed by palpation. A flare alone is disregarded.

KeraStat® Cream is a non-sterile, non-implantable wound dressing intended to provide a moist environment in the management of a variety of partial thickness dermal wounds.

KeraStat® Gel is a sterile, non-implantable water-based gelatinous (hydrogel) wound dressing intended to act as a protective covering in the management of a variety of partial thickness dermal wounds.
