Pilot Studies Testing the Use of Oral Amitriptyline in Reducing Localized Burn Injury-induced Microvesicle Particle Release
2026年7月15日 更新者:Wright State University
The purpose of this study is to determine the amount of substances contained in skin known as microvesicle particles (MVP).
The hypothesis to be tested in this study is that treatment with a single dose of 75mg of amitriptyline will block the MVP released from the skin from a very small localized burn injury.

详细说明
The purpose of this study is to determine the amount of substances contained in skin known as microvesicle particles (MVP).
Studies suggest these MVP are involved in many conditions such as after the thermal burn injury.
In fact, there is evidence suggesting that these MVP cause severe toxic effects and could be responsible for deaths following extensive thermal burn injuries.
These particles are typically found in skin and are evaluated by taking a portion of area with skin biopsy.
Of importance, MVP release from the skin can be blocked by drugs such as amitriptyline, a medicine which is a tricyclic anti-depressant.
The hypothesis to be tested in this study is that treatment with a single dose of 75mg of amitriptyline will block the MVP released from the skin from a very small localized burn injury.
This study is evaluating the amount of MVP made in the skin following a localized injury with heat and then conducting small skin biopsies.
Additionally, samples from the inside of the nostrils are collected.
By utilizing these methods after taking oral amitriptyline and then comparing them after taking a placebo, the investigator can see if taking the amitriptyline causes lesser amounts of MVP in the skin and nose cells.

Change from Baseline in MVP Release in Skin from a localized thermal burn injury in response to oral amitriptyline versus placebo as measured by skin biopsy
大体时间:2 hours after the burn injury
|
To see the change from baseline in microvesicle particle release in the skin after a localized thermal burn injury.
In this double-blinded placebo-controlled crossover study.
Subjects are treated with placebo or 75mg amitriptyline and 90 minutes later a small area of anesthetized volar forearm skin will be treated with a heated 3.5 mm metal rod to generate a thermal burn injury.
Skin biopsies of burned and nearby untreated area will be obtained 2 hours after localized burn injury.
MVP will be measured int he tissue.
Briefly, the biopsies will be weighed, and treated with enzymes to break down the tissue.
Following several centrifugation steps, the MVP fraction will be measured using a Nanosight instrument.
The MVPs will be normalized to biopsy weight.
The process will be repeated in 6-10 weeks but will use opposite forearm and subjects who were given placebo will be given amitriptyline (and vice versa).

Change in MVP release of nasal mucosal cells obtained from one nostril before and other nostril 90 min after subject ingests placebo or 75mg amitriptyline

These studies will test if oral amitriptyline will block thermal injury-induced MVP release in nasal epithelial cells ex vivo.
Subjects will have nasal epithelial cells removed from one nostril before and other nostril 90 minutes following treatment with placebo or 75mg amitriptyline.
The nasal mucosal epithelial cells will taken to the laboratory and treated with a 30 second exposure to a heated water bath and 2 hours later MVP isolated from the supernatants and following several centrifugation steps, the MVP fraction will be quantitated using a Nanosight instrument.
The process will be repeated in 6-10 weeks but subjects who were given placebo will be given amitriptyline (and vice versa).
The amount of MVP induced in the supernatants of nasal mucosa cells treated with burn injury ex vivo will be compared to no burn treatment.
