What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now This study
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Details not published
The full record has not been published yet, so there is little to show here.

Summary

This study tests a special wound dressing made from pig tissue (Cytal Wound Matrix and MicroMatrix) to see if it helps heal wounds from necrotizing fasciitis (a severe flesh-eating infection) faster than standard dressings. Fifty adults with large wounds (at least 30 cm²) will be randomly assigned to get either the new dressing or usual care. The main goal is to see how quickly the wound is ready for skin grafting.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
Cytal Wound Matrix and MicroMatrix (a porcine-derived wound dressing device)
What this could lead to
If it works, this could give doctors a better way to treat severe flesh-eating infection wounds, potentially speeding up healing and reducing the need for multiple surgeries.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early pilot study with only 50 people at one hospital. The treatment is made from pig tissue, so people with allergies or objections cannot join. It may not work better than standard care.

Study facts

What this study's own registry entry says, in plain language.

Phase

Not a phased trial

Phase numbers describe drug development. The registry uses this when they do not apply, as it does for trials of devices, procedures or behaviour changes, and for observational studies.

Participants

About 50 people

The number the study aims to enrol. It can still change while the study runs.

Started

Mar 2025

Expected to finish

Dec 2026

An estimate. End dates often move.

Lead sponsor

Other sponsor

The registry's catch-all category, for sponsors it does not file as a company, a government agency, or a research network.

Who can take part

This study's own entry requirements. Only the study team can say for certain whether you qualify.

Healthy volunteers

Not accepted

This study is not open to healthy volunteers. The entry requirements below say who it is open to.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: 1. Adults (≥ 18 years) with a diagnosis of necrotizing fasciitis 2. Wound ≥ 30 cm2 3.
