What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Photography- Independent Scar Assessment Panel

    An independent panel was planned to review scar photography to determine more preferable outcomes. Panel was not performed.

    Measured: 0.5, 1, 2, 3, 6, 9 and 12 Months

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Overall Scar Preference

    Overall preference of the healing/appearance of each scar segment as completed by investigator and subject.

    Measured: 12 Month (End of Study)

  2. Patient Observer Scar Assessment Scale (POSAS)

    Rating by subject and investigator (observer) to assess various factors of scar segment appearance/characteristics on a numeric scale (0-10). Individual parameters rated by the subject or observer according to a 0-10 scale where 0 equals no symptoms or difference from normal (better) and 10 equals the worst possible symptoms or difference from normal (worse).

    Outcomes measured at 0.5, 1, 2, 3, 6, 9 and 12 Months. Reported Data is end of study (12 months)

    Measured: 12 Month (End of Study)

  3. Manchester Scar Scale (MSS)

    Rating by investigator to assess various factors of scar appearance/characteristics on numeric scales.

    MSS includes a visual analog scale (10 cm; 0 excellent appearance, 10 poor appearance) and four descriptive characteristics rated 1 to 4 according to the following descriptions.

    Color: Perfect (1), Slight mismatch (2), Obvious mismatch (3), Gross mismatch (4).

    Contour: Flush with surrounding skin (1), Slightly proud/indented (2), Hypertrophic (3), Keloid (4).

    Distortion: None (1), Mild (2), Moderate (3), Severe (4). Texture: Normal (1), Just palpable (2), Firm (3), Hard (4).

    Outcomes measured at 0.5, 1, 2, 3, 6, 9 and 12 Months. Reported Data is end of study (12 months)

    Measured: 12 Month (End of Study)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing GBT009 in people with Scar Formation, run by Garnet BioTherapeutics, Inc. at 2 sites in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

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 24 Oct 2013. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites in United States. 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 24 Oct 2013). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Photography- Independent Scar Assessment Panel (time frame: 0.5, 1, 2, 3, 6, 9 and 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 24 Oct 2013.
