About this trial

This study will evaluate the efficacy of a dehydrated human placental tissue product, commercially labeled as AmCoreMatrix Burn ™ versus SOC in the closure of partial thickness burns. Human Cellular and Tissue based Products (HCT/Ps), specifically Dehydrated Human Amnion - Intermediate Layer - Chorion Membrane (dHAICM) offer a multimodal biological approach to burn management. Unlike synthetic dressings or silver-based creams, dHAICM serves as a sophisticated bioactive scaffold. It is a minimally manipulated allograft that provides superior tensile strength and barrier function compared to single-layer membranes. This study aims to document its performance in hospital burn units.

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

18 years of age or older

One or more thermal burns classified as either superficial partial thickness or deep partial thickness.

Total Body Surface Area (TBSA) involvement between 5% and 15%.

Total burn index wound area is greater than 25 cm 2 and less than 0.25 m 2 (2500 cm 2 )

Disqualifiers

Full thickness burns.

Burns present for >72 hours prior to study evaluation

Burns requiring immediate autografting.

Superficial burns (1 st -degree) or burns not meeting criteria to be included in TBSA calculations.

Trial design

Design model

Single group

Treatments tested in this trial

  • Amnion-Intermediate-Chorion

    Other intervention

    Dehydrated human placental multilayer allograft derived from donated human tissue. AIC contains amnion and chorion layers as well as basement membrane and trophoblast.

  • Standard of Care (SOC)

    Procedure/Surgery

    Standard of care is to establish a clean, healthy wound bed and optimize the wound environment to have the best chance of healing the wound. This is achieved through wound cleansing, debridement, offloading and moisture balance.

Treatment groups

70 Participants
are divided into 2 treatment groups
Group A: Standard of CareActive comparator 1 intervention
Group B: AIC and Standard of CareExperimental treatment 2 interventions

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Time to Complete Epithelialization

Standard of care is to establish a clean, healthy wound bed and optimize the wound environment to have the best chance of healing the wound. This is achieved through wound cleansing, debridement, offloading and moisture balance.

Time frame
1-10 weeks

Secondary outcomes

1

Percentage of Burn Area Change

To evaluate the difference in percentage reduction in burn wound area at each follow-up visit in participants receiving dHAICM versus SOC alone.

Time frame
1-10 weeks
2

Frequency of Full Epithelialization

To compare the frequency of full epithelialization at 3 weeks in participants receiving dHAICM versus SOC alone.

Time frame
1-10 weeks
3

Changes in Pain Scores Associated with Target Burns

To determine the reduction in pain scores (VAS) for participants during dressing changes.

Time frame
1-10 weeks
4

Changes in Scarring Quality of Target Burn

To determine the difference in assessment of scarring quality using the Vancouver Scar Scale (VSS).

Time frame
1-10 weeks
