Chemical and/or Thermal Injury
Day 28
Re-epithelialization Assessment*
Final
Durability
Assessment
≥ 14-day Screening Period
28-day Treatment Period
28-day Follow-up
Period (Durability)
*Once a subject achieves re-epithelialization, they enter the 28-day follow-up period (durability)
Subjects that do not re-epithelialize during the treatment period or do not maintain
re-epithelialization during the follow up period, are eligible for open-label NEXAGON treatment
Study Population
Subjects with PED resulting from severe chemical and/or
thermal injury refractory to current standard of care for ≥ 14 days
Randomized 1:1:1
NEXAGON, 0. 06 %
NEXAGON, 0.006 %
