Methods: This study was designed as a prospective, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial involving 50 patients with linear scars. Bounded by the midpoint of the scar, each patient received a topical scar formulation consisting of fespixon cream on one side of scar, and placebo cream on the other side of scar. Treatment was given twice a day for 84 days. Assessments of the scars were performed at visit 1, 2, 3 following the onset of topical application using three methods: a clinical assessment using the Vancouver Scar Scale/ modified Vancouver Scar Scale, a photographic assessment to establish before and after treatment improvements, and at the end of the study period, patients completed a final satisfaction questionnaire.
The aim of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of the Fespixon cream for prevention and/or appearance reduction of different types of linear scars during the 12-week treatment phase, which is assessed by the blinded independent evaluator.
