Clinical trials

The European Union Clinical Trials Register   allows you to search for protocol and results information on:
  • interventional clinical trials that were approved in the European Union (EU)/European Economic Area (EEA) under the Clinical Trials Directive 2001/20/EC
  • clinical trials conducted outside the EU/EEA that are linked to European paediatric-medicine development

    • EU/EEA interventional clinical trials approved under or transitioned to the Clinical Trial Regulation 536/2014 are publicly accessible through the
    Clinical Trials Information System (CTIS).

    The EU Clinical Trials Register currently displays   43871   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7290   are clinical trials conducted with subjects less than 18 years old.   The register also displays information on   18700   older paediatric trials (in scope of Article 45 of the Paediatric Regulation (EC) No 1901/2006).

    Phase 1 trials conducted solely on adults and that are not part of an agreed paediatric investigation plan (PIP) are not publicly available (see Frequently Asked Questions ).

    General information about the trial
    Main objective of the trial
    To compare intra-individually the efficacy and tolerance of Oleogel-S10 versus non-adhesive wound dressing alone in accelerating the wound healing of Split-Thickness Skin Graft Donor Sites (STSG).
    Protection of trial subjects
    The study was conducted in compliance with the study protocol, ethical principles originating in or derived from the Declaration of Helsinki, ethics committee informed consent regulations, and International Council on Harmonisation (ICH) Good Clinical Practice (GCP) guidelines. In addition, all national and local regulatory requirements were followed. Insurance coverage for all participating subjects was guaranteed according to applicable legal requirements. Before undergoing any study-specific procedures, subjects were informed about the nature, scope, and possible consequences of the study. The investigator was responsible for obtaining a subject's written informed consent to participate in the study.
    Background therapy
    		 Non-adhesive wound-dressing.
    Evidence for comparator
    		 Non-adhesive wound dressing represents a standard of care for patients with STSG donor sites.

    Blinding implementation details
    Treatments were intra-individually compared. The STSG donor site was divided into two areas of equal size. Since the distance of the wounds from the centre of the body might influence the wound healing process, the wound halves were randomly assigned to treatment by a temper-proof method. Treatment was open to study subjects and investigators, but assessment of efficacy was primarily based on blinded photo evaluation. Special care was taken to ensure blinding, i.e. all markings were removed.

    About 1 cm Oleogel-S10 ointment (approximately 100 mg) per cm² (i.e. approximately 1 mm thick) was applied at every wound dressing change (every 3 to 4 days) to one half of the STSG donor site by applying it onto the wound-facing side of the wound dressing.

    Justification: Treatment was open to study subjects and investigators, but assessment of efficacy was performed by assessors based on blinded photo evaluation.

    		 Intra-individual difference in time to wound closure
    End point description
    The primary endpoint of this study was the intra-individual difference in time to wound closure (defined as at least 95% epithelialization) between wound halves either treated with Oleogel-S10 and non-adhesive wound dressing or treated with non-adhesive wound dressing alone, based on blinded photo evaluation by three independent, blinded experts.
    End point type

    Notes
    [1] - Difference in time to wound closure was calculated by comparing wound closure times of corresponding wound halves per patient followed by calculation of the mean of the expert-specific differences for each patient. The primary endpoint was then derived from the mean values for all subjects. If wound closure was not observed in a wound half (2 subjects), specific assumption were made to calculate the difference e.g. wound closure later than the last photo or, intra-individual difference is 0.
    [2] - The p-value indicated above is valid for the intra-individual comparison of time to wound healing between the 2 wounds halves for the Intention-To-Treat analysis set (107 subjects).
