Overview

To determine whether following Carbon dioxide (CO2) laser treatment, application of autologous cell suspension obtained via enzymatic and mechanical preparation will reduce negative side effects from CO2 laser and decrease the time of healing following treatment.

Description

The perioral area of the face will be treated with CO2 laser. Laser setting will be determined by the treating surgeon for each individual patient. Typical settings to be used for severe facial photoaging is Energy (mj) 100-125, Scan Size 6-7 mm, Density 2-3, Hertz 100-200, Repeat Delay 0.3-1.5 seconds, number of passes 2. The patient would be randomized and blinded to either left perioral or right perioral RECELL application. The surgeon would also be blinded to which side received RECELL treatment or Placebo (saline spray). Randomization would occur before study initiation with subjects assigned either left perioral or right perioral RECELL treatment based on their subject enrollment number. The study team member who prepares and blinds the RECELL will create the list of subject ID numbers with subject ID number randomly assigned to either left perioral or right perioral treatment group. This will be completed prior to any patient enrollment in the study. This spreadsheet will be password protected and only accessible to study coordinators and the team member responsible for preparing RECELL.

FAQs

Learn more about clinical trials

What is a clinical trial?

A clinical trial is a study designed to test specific interventions or treatments' effectiveness and safety, paving the way for new, innovative healthcare solutions.

Why should I take part in a clinical trial?

Participating in a clinical trial provides early access to potentially effective treatments and directly contributes to the healthcare advancements that benefit us all.

How long does a clinical trial take place?

The duration of clinical trials varies. Some trials last weeks, some years, depending on the phase and intention of the trial.

Do I get compensated for taking part in clinical trials?

Compensation varies per trial. Some offer payment or reimbursement for time and travel, while others may not.

How safe are clinical trials?

Clinical trials follow strict ethical guidelines and protocols to safeguard participants' health. They are closely monitored and safety reviewed regularly.
