Summary

This trial will test the safety and effectiveness of realSKIN® in treating deep burns. It aims to see if realSKIN® can fully close the wounds without the need for autografting

Who is the study for?
This trial is for individuals with mixed-depth, full-thickness burn wounds. It's designed to see if realSKIN® can help heal these burns as an alternative to the standard treatment of autografting, where a patient's own skin is used.
What is being tested?
The study tests the safety and effectiveness of realSKIN®, a new potential treatment for serious burns, against autografting. Participants will be assigned to receive either realSKIN® or undergo traditional autograft surgery.
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects may include reactions at the wound site, infection risks associated with skin grafts, and possible complications related to wound healing.

Study Objectives

Study objectives can provide a clearer picture of what you can expect from a treatment.
Primary study objectives
Incidence of Complete Wound Closure at Post-Treatment Day 28 (± 7 days)
Percent Area of Treatment Sites Autografted

Pain at the Patient Skin Harvest Sites

Awards & Highlights

Pivotal Trial
The final step before approval, pivotal trials feature drugs that have already shown basic safety & efficacy.
No Placebo-Only Group
All patients enrolled in this study will receive some form of active treatment.

Trial Design

2Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Active Control
Group I: Skin XenotransplantExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
After surgical preparation of the wound beds, subjects will receive approximately 100 square centimeters of realSKIN® at one site, and autograft at the other site, per the standard of care, in accordance with the randomization schedule.
Group II: AutograftActive Control1 Intervention
The comparator control for the study is autografting: the current standard of care procedure for the treatment of severe burns involves the removal of a sheet of healthy skin from an uninjured site on the patient and using it to cover the original burn wound to achieve complete and durable wound closure.
