Stem cell skin substitute for deep burns
Part of Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study tests a new way to help deep burns heal using a special skin substitute combined with your own skin cells. The goal is to see if this approach is safe and effective for treating severe burns, potentially leading to better healing and less scarring.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be 18 years or older.
- Have a burn covering at least 5% of your body (for example, about one arm).
- Be admitted to the hospital within 5 days (120 hours) of the burn.
- The burn must be full-thickness (deep and require surgery) and not only on your face or hands.
- Not have certain active infections (like HIV, Hepatitis B or C, syphilis, or West Nile Virus).
- Not be pregnant or undergoing cancer treatment right now.

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 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.
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 whether stem cells from umbilical cord blood can help heal large burns. It might help reduce the need for repeat surgeries and improve healing of deep burns.
This trial tests whether mesenchymal stem cells (a type of healing cell) can help burn wounds recover better when combined with skin grafting. The goal is to improve how well the grafted skin takes and heals.
