Deep Tissue Injury Treatment With MIST Therapy Versus Standard Care: REVERSE DTI Study

January 6, 2015 updated by: Celleration, Inc.

Multi-Center Study of the Effects of MIST Therapy on the Treatment of Deep Tissue Injury

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of MIST Therapy in conjunction with standard of care (SOC) compared to SOC alone in the prevention of deep tissue injury (DTI) progression to advanced stage pressure ulcers.

Study Overview

Status

Status

Indicates the current recruitment status or the expanded access status.
Terminated

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

Enrolled subjects will be randomized to receive one of two treatment courses: a) MIST Therapy in conjunction with Standard of Care (MIST + SOC) (treatment group) or b) SOC only (control group).

A randomized subject will be required to undergo a Baseline Evaluation. The Baseline Evaluation. A digital photo will be taken of the wound.

The subject will receive the assigned study treatment. Each subject will receive SOC wound care and off-loading daily throughout the study. Subjects will be treated daily for 5 days and then every other day until discharged or up to 14 days post enrollment.

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.

Ages Eligible for Study

14 years to 86 years (Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Genders Eligible for Study

All

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Male or female subject of any race 18-90 years old.
  • Subject presents with an index DTI. This is defined by the National Pressure Ulcer Advisory Panel (NPUAP) as a purple or maroon localized area of discolored intact skin or blood-filled blister due to damage of underlying soft tissue from pressure and/or shear. The area may be preceded by tissue that is painful, firm, mushy, boggy, warmer or cooler as compared to adjacent tissue.
  • Subject's DTI has been discovered ≤ 72 hours after causative event
  • Causative event of DTI is identified.
  • Subject's index DTI is located on torso or body extremities.
  • Subject is currently admitted to the hospital.
  • Subject is able to be maneuvered into a position that is acceptable for MIST treatment.
  • Subject's DTI presents with no clinical signs of acute infection.
  • Subject or subject's legally authorized representative understands the nature of the procedures and provides written informed consent prior to study enrollment.

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Subject's primary wound is a Stage I, Stage II, Stage III or Stage IV pressure ulcer.
  • Subject's wound presents with a malignancy in the wound bed.
  • Subject has a history of pressure ulcer / DTI in same location.
  • Subject's DTI would require ultrasound near an electronic implant or prosthesis, e.g., near or over the heart, or over the thoracic area if the patient is using a cardiac pacemaker.
  • Female subjects that are pregnant or refuse to utilize adequate contraceptive methods and are of childbearing age during the trial.
  • Subject is terminally ill, defined as unable to survive beyond 14 days.
  • Subject is known to be suffering from a disorder or other situation that the subject or investigator feels would interfere with compliance or other study requirements.
  • Subject is currently enrolled or has been enrolled in the last 30 days in another device or drug trial.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Effectiveness
Time Frame: 14 days

To compare between the treatment groups the effect of the assigned study treatment on the rate of progression of DTI to advanced stage pressure ulcer (Stage III or greater, continued DTI, or a pressure ulcer that is unable to be staged due to necrotic tissue).

Stage I - Intact skin with non-blanchable redness of a localized area Stage II - Partial thickness loss of dermis Stage III - Full thickness loss, subcutaneous fat may be visible Stage IV - Full thickness tissue loss with exposed bone, tendon or muscle Unstageable - Full thickness tissue loss in which the base of the ulcer is covered by slough or eschar Continues deep tissue injury - purple or maroon localize area of discolored intact skin that may be mushy or boggy
14 days

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.

Time Frame
Change in Mean Wound Area
Time Frame: 14 days
