Study Description

Brief Summary:

The proposed study is designed as a phase Ib open-label, dose-escalation, multicenter study evaluating the safety, tolerability, and efficacy of StrataGraft skin tissue in promoting the healing of the deep partial-thickness component of complex skin defects. The proposed study population will include patients with 3-49% Total Body Surface Area (TBSA) complex skin defects including a deep partial-thickness component resulting from thermal injury. The study has been designed to focus on the evaluation of safety and tolerability of prolonged exposure to increasing amounts of a single application of StrataGraft skin tissue, while also assessing the potential for StrataGraft tissue to promote healing of the deep partial-thickness component of these complex skin defects as an alternative to donor site harvesting and autografting. Targeted enrollment for this study is up to 30 patients with complex skin defects due to thermal burns which require surgical excision and autografting. Subjects will be sequentially enrolled in two cohorts of increasing treatment area receiving StrataGraft skin tissue that has been stored refrigerated prior to clinical use. A third cohort will receive StrataGraft skin tissue which has been stored cryopreserved and thawed in the operating room just prior to grafting.

Arms and Interventions

Arm

Intervention/treatment

Experimental: StrataGraft skin tissue; All subjects enrolled in this study will receive StrataGraft tissue. Will randomly assign treatment regimens to the two comparable study treatment sites pre-identified as A or B. A sealed randomization envelope will be supplied to the clinical site along with the shipment of clinical tissue. Neither the surgeon nor scrubbed operating room personnel will be informed of the randomization until completion of surgical excision. The treatment sites A or B will be randomized to receive either StrataGraft skin tissue or autograft using a 1:1 ratio. Two comparable areas of healthy skin will be pre-identified by the clinical staff as donor sites A or B. The randomization assignment will be identical as that above for the treatment sites. For example, if treatment site A is randomized to receive an autograft, donor site A will be designated the donor site for autografting

Biological: StrataGraft Skin Tissue

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures :

1. Number of Participants With Wound Closure of the Treatment Sites at Three Months [ Time Frame: 3 months ]
   Determination of complete wound closure of both treatment sites was evaluated at 3 months.
2. Percent Area of the StrataGraft Treatment Site Requiring Autografting by Day 28 [ Time Frame: 28 days ]
   The percentage of the treatment site area initially covered with StrataGraft tissue that required autograft by day 28 was determined.

Eligibility Criteria

• Ages Eligible for Study: 18 Years to 65 Years (Adult, Older Adult)
