Active clinical trials for "Cicatrix, Hypertrophic"

Phase 2a, prospective, randomized, double-blind, intra-subject, placebo-controlled, proof of concept study. Approximately twenty subjects will be randomized 1:1 to one of two treatment arms: Arm A: 2.0 mg/cm OLX10010 biweekly (every two weeks) Arm B: 5.0 mg/cm OLX10010 biweekly (every two weeks) Each treatment arm will have approximately 10 subjects. Each subject will receive both active (OLX10010) and control (placebo) treatment post-hypertrophic scar surgery biweekly (every two weeks) for a total of six doses. Dosing will occur post-surgery on Weeks 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, and 12. Post-treatment follow-up visits will occur at Weeks 18 and 24, and a long-term follow-up visit will occur at Month 12. The Patient and Observer Scar Assessment Scale (both physician and patient scales), Stony Brook Scar Evaluation Scale, Vancouver Scar Scale, and a photograph-based visual analog scale by blinded experts will be completed prior to scar revision surgery, at Weeks 2, 8, 12, 18, and 24, and at Month 12. The overall opinion responses on the physician scales of the POSAS at Week 24 will be used for primary endpoint analysis. The total length of the linear hypertrophic scar line will be divided equally for treatment with OLX10010 and placebo, injected intradermally per centimeter (cm). The OLX10010 end and placebo end of the scar line will be separated by a 2 cm or greater distance depending on the scar length. After the Week 24 visit, all data collected will be cleaned and all data management activities will be completed. After the database is frozen/locked, the primary endpoint efficacy analysis will be completed. If at least one of the treatment arms are shown to be appropriate to reduce recurrence of hypertrophic scars, all analyses will be performed. If the efficacy analysis of Arms A and B indicate the study doses are not as effective as expected, the sponsor may decide to add a third arm (Arm C) to explore the weekly dosing regimen. See detailed summary. Subjects in all study arms will continue in the study until their Month 12 visit. After all subjects complete that visit, data are collected, and data management activities are completed, Month 12 data will be analyzed.

Scar tissue can cause serious complications that significantly impact a patient's quality of life. Common complications include stiffness and contractions, which can restrict joint mobility and make daily activities challenging. In severe cases, these limitations can even prevent patients from fulfilling their work responsibilities or engaging in activities they enjoy. The deleterious effect of scar tissue on a patient's well-being is of utmost significance. However, several therapeutic approaches have been proposed to manage scar tissue complications. Enhancing scar tissue compliance can help patients regain their functional abilities and reduce limitations. One such approach is dry needling, a technique used to improve the flexibility of myofascial tightness. Nevertheless, the effectiveness of dry needling in improving scar tissue compliance remains debatable. Therefore, this study aims to investigate the therapeutic effects of dry needling on complications resulting from linear hypertrophic scars caused by surgery or trauma.

Study is a multicenter, two-part, open-label phase II study in adults, evaluating the safety and long-term efficacy of PF-06473871 one year after surgical revision and treatment with PF-06473871.

Hypertrophic burn scars are experienced by more than 70% of burn victims. They are a major source of decreased quality of life in burn patients due to pain, decreased range of motion, and poor cosmetic appearance. Current treatment strategies (including fat grafting and laser resurfacing) are either highly invasive, prohibitively costly, or painful. Autologous Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) does not require anesthesia, and is an inexpensive, safe, fast, and less painful alternative that has been recognized for its role in reducing scars associated with acne, among other things. While PRP has not been studied specifically in burn scars, there is sufficient theoretical and practical evidence that it will improve the appearance and feel of these debilitating scars, representing a large potential benefit for these patients with minimal associated risk.

Background Scarring typically occurs after trauma, burn injury or surgery. Hypertrophic scarring presents as raised, red and itchy lesions which variably respond to various treatment modalities, such as corticosteroids, pressure garments, laser therapy, the use of silicone sheets and radiotherapy. Kynurenine, or "Fibrostop 1" (FS1), and its further breakdown products, such as kynurenic acid, or "Fibrostop 2" (FS2), are endogenous products found in many systems and have shown potential in reducing scar formation in animal studies. The aim of study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of FS2 cream applied to the skin of healthy human subjects.

The Study Drug is an investigational drug which is being developed by OliX Pharmaceuticals Inc., with an aim to help people who develop hypertrophic scars (a type of permanent scar) in the future. Hypertrophic scars are formed when a wound becomes red, raised, and itchy before it eventually heals. These scars tend to develop due to disease, surgical operations, or burns. Available physical treatment methods to remove scars include surgery or laser therapy; however these are often accompanied by further complications including pain and recurrence of the scar and can be costly. Similarly, therapeutic agents such as ointments or oral drugs have little to no effect in preventing or treating hypertrophic scars. The aims of this Study are to determine the safety of the Study Drug and any side effects that might be associated with it, and how much of the Study Drug gets into the bloodstream and how long it takes the body to remove it. The healthy adult subjects can participate in this study in the age between 18 and 60 years old in the UK. This study will be conducted in 2 parts, Part A and B. Part A will be a single subcutaneous or intradermal dose, dummy controlled study. Part B will be a multiple intradermal dose, dummy controlled study.

Skin scarring (fibrosis) is a common complication in the wound healing process and remains a therapeutic challenge. Scar formation often occurs following injury to the skin such as surgery, trauma, and burns. The goal of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of visible red light as a modality to reduce skin scarring after mini-facelift surgery. Based on laboratory data, light emitting diode-red light (LED-RL) phototherapy may lessen post-surgical skin fibrosis clinically.

This study explores the smart scar care pad's potential therapeutic effect in treatment hypertrophic scar while elucidating the adverse effects if there is any. Half of the participant receives traditional treatment of pressure garment and the other half receives the smart scar care pad together with pressure garment.

A prospective, double blind, randomized controlled human clinical trial will be conducted by enrolling patients referred for laser treatment from the USAISR burn clinic. Laser candidates will be asked to participate who have an area of extremity or truncal scar measuring approximately 6cmX6cm total, in one contiguous region. The study sites, will consist of four equally sized treatment areas (3cm x 3cm), will be randomized to be treated with PDL, CO2, a combination of CO2+PDL, and an untreated control for 6 treatments. The areas will be photographed prior to each treatment and at the final visit 4-6 months after the last treatment. Color, pliability and thickness will be measured using a colorimeter, cutometer and high frequency ultrasound respectively at each appointment. Additionally, the Patient Observer Scar Assessment Scale (POSAS) will be used to score the quality of the scar, using two trained, blinded observers. The patients will also be asked on a voluntary basis for a pre-trial and post-trial 3mm punch biopsy to evaluate for the presence of histological changes.

Keloids and hypertrophic scars are a common subject of dermatologic consultations. Therapeutic management of such conditions remains challenging because of their high rate of recurrence and lack of curative treatment.
