About this study
Official title: A Trial to Investigate the Accelerated Wound Healing and Antiscarring Potential, Safety, Toleration and Systemic Exposure of Intradermal RN1001 (Avotermin) in Male and Female Subjects Aged 60 Years and Over.
An exploratory Phase-II trial with intradermal RN1001 (Avotermin) to investigate scar prevention and reduction and acceleration of healing. The trial has an additional objective to evaluate several different scar assessment techniques that can be used in future clinical trials in the prevention and reduction of scarring.
Read the detailed description
Double blind, randomised, Placebo and Standard Care controlled, single centre study. Each subject receives a total of 6 wounds, two incisions and four punch biopsies. Each subject serves as their own control, i.e. Arm 1 incisions/biopsies randomly received one of two treatments and Arm 2 incisions/biopsies received the same treatments as for Arm 1 but in reverse. The randomisation of the treatment allowed for control of possible positional effects on healing/scarring. Healed scars from incisional wounds excised from Arm 1 and Arm 2 after 6 months for histological analysis.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 1/2 study testing Avotermin in people with Cicatrix, run by Renovo at 1 site in United Kingdom.
The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.
Who may be eligible to take part?
The sponsor lists 2 inclusion and 12 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.
Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?
The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 19 Feb 2009. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 1 site in United Kingdom. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
What does this combined phase mean?
Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.
Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.
Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.
Are results available for this study?
The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Evaluation of scar appearance by an independent panel (time frame: 6 months). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00847795, which also lists 1 linked publication.
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 19 Feb 2009.
