August 11, 2026 updated by: The Metis Foundation
This is a prospective, randomized, controlled, multi-center clinical study comparing SupraSDRM® to standard of care wound dressing, BTM, in the treatment of full-thickness wounds deemed not immediately suitable for definitive grafting will be performed.

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

Twenty-four patients with full-thickness wounds fulfilling inclusion criteria of the study will be consented and enrolled into the clinical trial. An area (≥ 5 and ≤125 cm2) deemed not immediately ready to accept skin graft will be designated as the study site. The study site will be randomized to receive either SupraSDRM® or the SoC wound dressing, NovoSorb® BTM.

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

  • Adult
  • Older Adult

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Patient age ≥18 years and ≤85 years
  • Full-thickness traumatic injury, surgical wound, or excised full-thickness burn (e.g., friction, contact, flame, scalding etiology), where immediate grafting is not deemed suitable by the treating surgeon
  • Wound size ≥ 5cm2 not immediately suitable for graft application
  • Subject or legally authorized representative is able and willing to sign informed consent

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Study wound may not include areas of the face, and neck and genitalia.
  • Wound with metal hardware exposure
  • Pressure sores
  • Wounds with residual malignancy
  • Wound infection at the time of planned wound dressing application
  • Wound that is a part of an active treatment arm of an interventional study (within 90 days of Screening Visit)
  • Pregnancy/lactation
  • Subjects who are unable to follow the protocol or who are likely to be non-compliant
  • Subjects with uncontrolled diabetes (defined by Hgb A1C >10)
  • Subjects who are receiving systemic steroids or immune suppressive treatment
  • Subject with a known allergy to polylactide, polycaprolactone, polyvinyl alcohol, trimethylene carbonate or resorbable suture materials.
  • Prisoners

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
Number of days between the application of the dermal substitute to when the dermal substitute is deemed suitable for grafting by the treatment care team.
Time Frame: up to 5 weeks
This endpoint is based on the ability of the dermal substitute to rapidly vascularize and allow for placement of a skin graft.
up to 5 weeks

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.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Clinical incidence of skin substitute infection
Time Frame: up to 5 weeks
Incidence of infections and inflammatory response and scar development
up to 5 weeks
Days of skin graft application from time of SupraSDRM® or SoC application
Time Frame: up to 5 weeks
The wounds will be assessed for their readiness for grafting by their treating surgeon at minimum weekly
up to 5 weeks
Percentage graft survival as assessed 7 days after skin graft application
Time Frame: 7 days
Percent of graft survival will be measured by clinical assessment
7 days
Number of return trips to the OR
Time Frame: up to 1 year
The wounds will be assessed by their care team as part of standard care procedures. Research personal will document any areas of concern or additional surgeries required.
up to 1 year
Skin graft contraction
Time Frame: up to 1 year
Patient and Observer Scar Assessment Scale (POSAS) Questionnaire will be used to assess scaring and contraction. This scale uses a 1-10 rating scale with 1 being normal and 10 being worst imaginable outcome.
up to 1 year
Wound Pain scale 1-10
Time Frame: up to 1 year
Patients will be asked to rate their pain 0-10 (0=no pain and 10=a lot of pain) at each visit
up to 1 year
Cost-effectiveness
Time Frame: up to 1 year
looking at the overall length of stay in the hospital, the number of trips to the operating room and cost of skin substitute will help determine if the study dressing is more or less cost affective
up to 1 year
