About this study

Official title: Open, Prospective, Controlled Case Series Documentation to Compare Intra-individually the Efficacy and Tolerance of Sericare® Versus Non-adhesive Wound Dressing Alone in Accelerating the Epithelialization of Skin Lesions of Patients With Epidermolysis Bullosa Hereditaria

The purpose of this study was to compare intra-individually the reepithelialization of skin lesion(s) in inherited Epidermolysis bullosa (either 1 wound ≥10 cm2 and ≤200 cm2 in size divided in 2 equal halves or 2 comparable wounds of ≥5 cm2 each) treated with Oleogel-S10 and non-adhesive wound dressing versus non-adhesive wound dressing only.

Read the detailed description

This study was designed as an open-label, prospective, controlled, blindly evaluated, monocentric phase II case series documentation in patients with inherited Epidermolysis bullosa (EB). The investigator either identified 1 EB wound ≥10 cm2 and ≤200 cm2 in size and divided it into 2 halves or selected 2 comparable wounds of ≥5 cm2 each. One (half of the) EB wound was treated with Oleogel-S10 and non-adhesive wound dressing. The other wound (half) was covered with a non-adhesive wound dressing only (Mepilex®) as control. Wound dressings were changed about every 24 to 48 hours until discharge from hospital or until the end of treatment at Day 14 in 'recent wounds' or Day 28 in 'chronic wounds'. This was an open-label study. The investigator, the participant, and the sponsor knew the identity of the treatment. Two independent experts were blind to treatment and assessed efficacy based on chronological series of cropped and coded photographs by wound (half) that were taken before start of treatment, during wound dressing changes and at the end of treatment on Day 14/Day 28.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Oleogel-S10Drug

    Also called Sericare®

    1 cm or 125 µL or 115 mg Oleogel-S10 per cm2 wound area (corresponds to thickness of approximately 1 mm or 0.04 inch) every 24 to 48 hours until discharge from hospital or until the end of treatment at Day 14 in 'recent wounds' or Day 28 in 'chronic wounds'.

  • Mepilex® soft silicone faced polyurethane foam dressingDevice

    Also called Cutaneous patch

    Mepilex® soft silicone faced polyurethane foam dressing was changed about every 24 to 48 hours until discharge from hospital or until the end of treatment at Day 14 in 'recent wounds' or Day 28 in 'chronic wounds'.

Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Oleogel-S10ExperimentalThe eligible wound (half) was topically treated with Oleogel-S10 and covered with a non-adhesive wound dressing (Mepilex®) on Day 0. Wound dressings were changed about every 24 to 48 hours until discharge from hospital or until the end of treatment at Day 14 in 'recent wounds' or Day 28 in 'chronic wounds'.
Receives: Drug: Oleogel-S10; Device: Mepilex® soft silicone faced polyurethane foam dressing
Non-adhesive wound dressingOtherMepilex® soft silicone faced polyurethane foam dressing was used as non-active comparator. The eligible wound (half) was covered with Mepilex® as control on Day 0. Wound dressings were changed about every 24 to 48 hours until discharge from hospital or until the end of treatment at Day 14 in 'recent wounds' or Day 28 in 'chronic wounds'.

What is being measured

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

  1. Intra-individual Difference in Reepithelialization of Wound (Halves) at Day 14 in 'Recent Wounds' or Day 28 in 'Chronic Wounds'

    The primary end point was the progress of reepithelialization from baseline to either Day 14 ('recent wounds') or Day 28 ('chronic wounds') of the EB wound (half) treated with Oleogel-S10 and non-adhesive wound dressing (Mepilex®) intra-individually compared to the other wound (half) covered with non-adhesive wound dressing only (intra-individual comparison). Two independent experts were blind to treatment and assessed efficacy based on chronological series of cropped and coded photographs by wound (half) that were taken before start of treatment, during wound dressing changes and at the end of treatment on Day 14/Day 28. They evaluated each series and decided whether 1 wound (half) reepithelialized faster than the other ('winner'), or whether there was no difference in reepithelialization.

    Measured: 14 days for 'recent wounds', 28 days for 'chronic wounds'

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Percentage of Wound Epithelialization at Day 7±1

    The secondary endpoint was the intra-individual difference in median percentage of wound epithelialization at Day 7±1. Sizes of wound areas were measured using a digital wound evaluation program from the EB Center at the Department of Dermatology, University Medical Center Freiburg.

    Measured: Day 7±1

  2. Percentage of Wound Epithelialization at Day 14±1

    The secondary endpoint was the intra-individual difference in median percentage of wound epithelialization at Day 14±1. Sizes of wound areas were measured using a digital wound evaluation program from the EB Center at the Department of Dermatology, University Medical Center Freiburg.

    Measured: Day 14±1

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Oleogel-S10 and Mepilex® soft silicone faced polyurethane foam dressing in people with Inherited Epidermolysis Bullosa, run by Birken AG at 1 site in Germany.

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 9 inclusion and 9 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 23 Jan 2018. 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 Germany. 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. 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 23 Jan 2018). 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?

Intra-individual Difference in Reepithelialization of Wound (Halves) at Day 14 in 'Recent Wounds' or Day 28 in 'Chronic Wounds' (time frame: 14 days for 'recent wounds', 28 days for 'chronic wounds'). 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 23 Jan 2018.
