Expression of Angiogenic Biomarkers During Healing of Intra-Oral Soft Tissue Engineered Grafts

July 19, 2017 updated by: William Giannobile, University of Michigan
The purpose of this observational research study is to understand more about wound healing of gum tissue. This study was the biomarker study of a small cohort of study participants derived from NCT01547962 (completed). Two surgical sites of each patient were randomly selected to receive CelTx™ as a donor material in one site and conventional autograft using keratinized tissue from the palate as the donor material at the contralateral (opposite side) site. Fluids collected from between a tooth and the gum and directly from wounds contain proteins that occur in different levels as the wound healing process proceeds. In this research study wound fluid will be collected from the donor palate site (roof of your mouth) and the treated sites on your gum before and after placement of CelTx and conventional treatment (tissue from the roof of your mouth) to measure which proteins and how much of each are present during the first 4 weeks of wound healing.

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Detailed Description

In a clinical trial designed to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of rhPDGF-BB to promote soft and hard tissue engineering of the periodontium, the subjects provided gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) or periodontal wound fluid (WF) and the results demonstrated contrasting inducible expression patterns of PDGF-AB, VEGF, and ICTP during periodontal healing [17, 24, 25]. However, little is known regarding the release of these molecules into local periodontal wound fluid during tissue-engineered grafts.

The aim of this study is to determine the presence and influence of angiogenic biomarkers, such as PDGF, VEGF, and FGF, involved in the wound healing process of tissue engineered grafts in the treatment of subjects (with recession-type defects) who have an insufficient zone of attached gingival associated with at least two nonadjacent teeth.

STUDY OBJECTIVES The purpose of this pilot study is to compare the expression of angiogenic biomarkers involved in the wound healing process of 2 different periodontal surgical approaches: 1) CelTx™ (living bilayered cell therapy product) and 2) free gingival grafts

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.
