PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: 3, 6, 12 and 24 months post grafting

Population: The 7 participants who were determined to be eligible to receive LEAES cell sheets received 6 cell sheets to 6 wounds, each which were analyzed in this study as the primary endpoint.

The graft site was clinically evaluated by the investigator with a global score of: 1) 100% to 75% healed, 2) 74% to 50% healed, 3) 49% or less healed with 100% meaning completely healed.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: 3, 6 and 12 months post grafting

Population: The Canfield Imaging System was implemented after the first 2 participants received LEAES. Tattoos were not used when placing tattoos for these first 2 participants. Therefore, measurements using the Canfield Imaging System was not possible.

Percentage of wound area will be obtained using the Canfield system. Changes in dimensions between visits as well as changes in dimensions from baseline will be recorded. Dimensions of untreated wounded skin will be used for comparison

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: 3 months, 6 months, 12 months, 24 months post-grafting

Population: The 7 participants who were determined to be eligible to receive LEAES cell sheets received 6 cell sheets to 6 wounds, each which were analyzed in this study as the primary endpoint.

Skin biopsies were obtained to evaluate expression of type VII collagen, NC2 epitope, using immuno-electron microscopy and immuno-fluorescent light microscopy.
