About this study
Official title: Comparison of Effectiveness of Amniotic Membrane and Duoderm Dressings in Pediatric Burn Patients: a Randomized Controlled Trial
There is a difference in frequency of wound infection, mean pain score, mean of time for skin grafting and hospital stay in pediatric 2nd and 3rd degree burns, between amniotic membrane and duoderm dressings
Read the detailed description
After informed consent of the patients, patients who will fulfill the inclusion and exclusion criteria will be enrolled in the study from Department of Pediatric Surgery, Mayo Hospital Lahore and will be randomly allocated by lottery method into 2 groups by the doctor. Group A and B with 86 patients in each group. Group A patients will be undergoing amniotic membrane dressing, while group B patients will undergo colloid gel foam dressing. Basic demographic information will be noted. Effect modifiers (hemoglobin level, weight and height) will be noted.
In group A, the wounds will be washed with normal saline and then covered with amniotic membrane over which a layer of Vaseline gauze will be applied and dressing with gauze and the crape bandage will be applied. Every 3-4 days these dressings will be changed and assessed for pain, wound infection and wound c/s will be sent. Placentas from clean vaginal deliveries and elective C-sections will be taken. Blood of mother will be screened. Amniotic membrane will be separated from placenta in a clean sterile bowl. Bowl will be put in refrigerator at 4 degrees.
In group B, wound will be washed with normal saline . The wound site will be covered with Colloid Gel Foam and gauze, and crape bandage will be applied. Dressing will be changed after 3-4 days. The outcome (pain score, wound infection,time for skin grafting and hospital stay) will be compared in both groups.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 2/3 study testing amniotic membrane and duoderm dressing in people with Burns, run by King Edward Medical University at 1 site in Pakistan.
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 1 inclusion and 1 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 1 Sep 2020. 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 Pakistan. 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 combined 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.
Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.
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?
mean time for skin grafting (time frame: average time will be 21 days). The study lists 5 primary outcomes in all. 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 NCT04030754, which also lists 4 linked publications.
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 1 Sep 2020; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 8 Nov 2026.
