Testing a lab-made skin substitute for severe burn wounds
Part of Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This early-stage trial tests a self-assembled, lab-made skin substitute placed on severe burn wounds to help heal them when there aren’t enough donor sites for standard skin grafts. It may help patients with very large burns, but it has specific safety and eligibility limits.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have deep 2nd-degree or 3rd-degree burns that cover more than half of your body
- Your surgical team expects that skin-graft donor sites (places to take skin from) are limited
- You (or a legal representative for a minor or unable patient) can give permission to join the study

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial tests whether a “microsurfaced” donor-skin graft can heal deep burn wounds (partial- or full-thickness burns) after recent injury. It may help improve healing when the burn area is large enough and not infected.
This trial tests a new skin patch made from your own cells to treat large, deep burns. It’s for people who need skin grafts and may help reduce scarring and improve healing.
This trial tests an experimental medicine for people with small burns (10% or less of body surface). It aims to see if the treatment is safe and helps healing. The study has two phases: one for people getting skin grafts, and another for recent dermal burns.
This trial tests whether using your own fat cells can help heal wounds or burns that need surgery. It is for adults who have had a fasciotomy, full-thickness skin loss, or burns, and are willing to receive a fat graft.
This trial tests a special wound dressing (SupraSDRM®) to help deep, full-thickness wounds heal faster and reduce the time needed before a skin graft can be placed. It may be an option for people with a large, deep wound from an injury, surgery, or burn that isn't ready for a graft yet.
This study tests a new pig-skin graft called realSKIN to see if it can close deep burn wounds as well as a patient's own skin graft. It may offer an alternative for people with severe burns who need surgery.
