Using A Dissolved Oxygen Enriched Dressing in Nipple-sparing Mastectomy (NSM)

February 11, 2016 updated by: Halyard Health

A Prospective, Multi-Center, Randomized, Open Label Controlled Trial Using a Dissolved Oxygen Enriched Dressing in Nipple-sparing Mastectomy

This study will evaluate the effect of OxyGenesys Dissolved Oxygen Dressing in wound complication rates of the nipple areolar complex after a nipple sparing mastectomy.

Study Overview

Detailed Description

This study will recruit women who are undergoing a bilateral mastectomy for either cancer or a positive BRCA gene. Women will be randomized to a different treatment per breast. One breast will receive the OxyGenesys dressing and the other will receive the standard gauze dressing. The study will evaluate wound complication rates and compare the two treatments.

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Active Comparator: OxyGenesys Dissolved Oxygen Dressing
OxyGenesys Dissolved Oxygen Dressing is a closed-cell foam wound dressing enriched with gaseous and dissolved oxygen for use in the management of wounds.
Placebo Comparator: Standard Gauze Dressing
A sterile 4x4 covered by an adhesive Tegaderm will serve as the comparator for this study.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Evaluate the Effects of OxyGenesys Dissolved Oxygen Dressing in Wound Complication Rates of the Nipple Areolar Complex Post Nipple-sparing Mastectomy
Time Frame: 30 days
Wound Complication Rate
30 days

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
To Evaluate Scar Formation 30 Days Post Nipple-sparing Mastectomy
Time Frame: 30 days post nipple-sparing mastectomy
Patient and Observer Scar Assessment Scale - range = 1 - 10. "1" is best condition ("normal skin") and "10" is worst condition ("worst scar imaginable"). The scale is used to assess each of six different wound characteristics, including vascularity, pigmentation, thickness, relief, pliability, and surface area. The means of these combined scores and their respective standard deviations are reported for each study group. The range of the final evaluation score, based on the collective evaluation of each of the six wound characteristics is "6" (if each of the six scores equals "1") to "60" (if each of the six scores equals "10").
30 days post nipple-sparing mastectomy
To Assess Pain Using the Numerical Rating Scale
Time Frame: 30 days
Numerical Rating Scale (NRS) - range = 0 - 10. "0" corresponds to "no pain" and "10" indicates "worst pain imaginable". The means of these scores and their respective standard deviations are reported for each study group.
