A Prospective, Single-arm, Clinical Trial of Electrospun Fiber Matrix (Restrata) in the Treatment of Surgical Defects Secondary to Resection of Malignant Cutaneous Neoplasms

NCT ID: NCT06578650Sponsor: Acera Surgical, Inc.Last updated: 2026-06-18

Summary

The goal of this observational prospective study is to evaluate wound healing outcomes in resection wounds resulting from surgical removal of cutaneous malignancies treated with a synthetic electrospun fiber matrix. This study intends to quantify the time from initial resection and product application to time of complete granulation of the wound bed in weeks.

Arms & interventions

  • DeviceSynthetic Electrospun Fiber Matrix

    Patients who are eligible for enrollment will be treated with Synthetic Electrospun Fiber Matrix immediately after surgical resection to the resulting wound

Outcome measures

Primary

  • Time to wound bed granulation

    Time from initial resection and product placement to the time of at least 75% wound bed granulation using a modified Bates-Jenson Scale. The Bates-Jenson Scale for Granulation Tissue ranges from: 1=Skin intact or partial thickness wound, to: 5=No granulation tissue present. Wounds are considered "granulated" upon receiving a rating of 2 (Bright, beefy red;75% to 100% of wound filled \&/or tissue overgrowth) or less upon investigator assessment. Lower scores are indicative of better outcomes.

    Time frame: Weekly assessments until granulation achieved or up to 6 weeks following resection surgery

Secondary

  • Time to complete wound healing

    Time frame: Until healed or until 16 weeks post resection

  • Patient pain

    Time frame: Weekly for up to six weeks post resection

  • Time to skin grafting

    Time frame: Weekly for up to 6 weeks post-resection

  • Skin graft "take" rate

    Time frame: 1 week after skin graft application

  • Tissue flap take rate

    Time frame: 1 week after tissue flap procedure
