A phase 3, open-label, controlled, randomized, multicenter trial evaluating the efficacy and safety of StrataGraft® construct in patients with deep partial-thickness thermal burns

Abstract

Objective: This phase 3 study evaluated StrataGraft construct as a donor-site sparing alternative to autograft in patients with deep partial-thickness (DPT) burns. Methods: Patients aged ≥18 years with 3–49% total body surface area (TBSA) thermal burns were enrolled. In each patient, 2 DPT areas (≤2000 cm2 total) of comparable depth after excision were randomized to either cryopreserved StrataGraft or autograft. Coprimary endpoints were: the difference in percent area of StrataGraft treatment site and autograft treatment site autografted at Month 3 (M3), and the proportion of patients achieving durable wound closure of the StrataGraft site without autograft at M3. Safety assessments were performed in all patients. Efficacy and safety follow-up continued to 1 year. Results: Seventy-one patients were enrolled. By M3, there was a 96% reduction in mean percent area of StrataGraft treatment sites that required autografting, compared with autograft treatment sites (4.3% vs 102.1%, respectively; P
