Clinical Trials associated with Recombinant Human Platelet-derived Growth Factor B(Lynch Regenerative Medicine)A Randomized, Double-Blinded, Controlled Trial Evaluating Recombinant Human Platelet-Derived Growth Factor B (rhPDGF-BB)-Enhanced Wound Matrix in the Reconstruction of Full-Thickness Head or Neck Defects Following Skin Cancer Excision
Skin cancers such as basal cell carcinoma (BCC), squamous cell carcinoma (SCC), and melanoma lesions that develop on the head and neck are treated by Mohs surgery or wide local excision to remove all tumor cells and preserve the normal tissue. These surgical techniques may result in large wounds requiring reconstructive surgery to restore function and aesthetics. Older, frail patients are particularly vulnerable to complications from these invasive procedures often leaving them to care for chronic wounds until a split-thickness skin graft can be placed. Recombinant human platelet-derived growth factor (rhPDGF) is a manufactured protein that signals through the PDGF receptor, PDGFRβ, to mediate inflammation, granulation, angiogenesis, and remodeling during wound healing and skin repair and is FDA-cleared for diabetic neuropathic ulcers and periodontal bone and soft tissue reconstructions. Preclinical and clinical data suggest that rhPDGF may be a viable therapeutic strategy to augment the reconstruction of these complex surgical wounds by accelerating healing and reducing the time-to-readiness for skin graft placement.
A Randomized Controlled Trial Evaluating the Safety and Feasibility of the Recombinant Human Platelet-derived Growth Factor B (rhPDGF-BB)-enhanced Collagen Plug for Complex Perianal Fistula Healing
The average success rate for healing and remission of complex perianal fistulas, idiopathic or Crohn's-related, is approximately 50%. These abnormal connections between the rectum and the outside skin remain a major clinical challenge in need of new treatments aimed at tissue repair. Platelet-derived growth factor drives wound healing and tissue regeneration, and manufactured PDGF is currently used to heal diabetic foot ulcers and regenerate bone in periodontal and orthopedic patients. Manufactured recombinant human PDGF has the potential to improve the success rate for complete healing of complex perianal fistulas, reduce the recurrence rate due to reopening of the fistula tract, and avoid complications associated with routine surgical interventions.
