About this study

Official title: A Single-site, Placebo-controlled, Double-blind Trial to Investigate the Safety, Tolerability, Systemic Exposure and the Scar-improvement Efficacy of Intradermal Applications of Three Doses of Juvidex (5.64mg/100μl, 2.82mg/100μl and 11.28mg/100μl) Given Once Only or Three Times Within and Between Male and Female Subjects Aged 18-45.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the scar-improvement efficacy of three doses of intradermal Juvidex given once only or three times in male and female subjects and to collect further safety and tolerability data for intradermal Juvidex in male and female subjects.

Read the detailed description

Subjects were randomised into three dose groups of equal size. The three dose groups were 100mM (2.82mg/100μl), 200mM (5.64mg/100μl) and 400mM (11.28mg/100μl). Before wounding, three prospective wound sites 1cm long were marked on the upper, inner aspect of each arm (anterior, posterior and distal) to give three pairs of wounds. Wounds were assigned as Pair 1 (left distal and right distal), Pair 2 (left anterior and left posterior) and Pair 3 (right anterior and right posterior).

Sites were anaesthetised using 1% plain lignocaine, then prior to wounding one site from each pair, randomly assigned, received an intradermal injection of Juvidex (100μl) and the opposite site from each pair received an intradermal injection of Placebo (100μl).

Within dose groups, subjects were randomised into two subgroups of similar size. Subgroup A received one dose in wound pairs 1 and 2; and three doses in wound pair 3. Subgroup B received three doses in wound pairs 1 and 2; and one dose in wound pair 3. Incision sites randomised to receive three injections of study medication were re-dosed with 100μl per wound margin (200μl per site) 3 hours after receiving the first dose and dosed again in the same way on Day 5.

Subjects attended a follow-up visit on Day 14. Scars were assessed monthly from Month 1 to Month 12. At Month 12, the Investigator excised the distal scars from each subject for histological examination. Posttrial follow-up visits are scheduled for Months 18 and 24.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Juvidex in people with Cicatrix and Wound-healing, 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 4 inclusion and 14 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 25 Sep 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 phase mean?

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?

To investigate the scar-improvement efficacy of three doses of intradermal Juvidex given once only and three times in male and female subjects. (time frame: 12 months). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
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 25 Sep 2009.
