"A Clinical Study Investigating the Effectiveness of OTC Scar-management Modalities"

A Phase II prospective, randomized, double-blind, placebo controlled and comparative clinical study evaluating hydrogel scar-management modalities for effective management of hyperproliferative scars and keloids. This is a double-blinded study, which means that neither the evaluating physician nor the subject will know which treatment is administered. Group selection and assignment will be made at random, with a 2 in 5 chance of receiving a market-approved therapy, and 1 in 5 chance of receiving the placebo. Subjects assigned the placebo-moisturizer will receive a standard hypoallergenic dermatological hydrating cream base. Subjects assigned the silicone gel, will receive a commercially available, active comparator.
