Stem cells for healing large burn wounds
Part of Injuries & trauma, Skin clinical trials.
This study tests whether a special type of stem cell from umbilical cords can help heal large, deep burn wounds faster when combined with usual skin graft surgery. It may be a good option for adults with significant burns who are already planning to have surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be willing to sign a consent form to join the study.
- Your burn should cover at least 20% of your body, with deep burns on at least 2%.
- You must be between 18 and 65 years old.
- You need to have at least two planned surgeries to remove damaged skin and graft healthy skin on your limbs.
- You should not have severe heart, lung, blood, or nervous system problems.
- You must not have a current infection throughout your body.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study tests if using umbilical cord stem cells on the donor wound (where skin is taken for a graft) helps it heal better. It may reduce pain and scarring at the donor site.
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.
This trial studies whether a one-time stem-cell–based treatment (made from your own burn-derived cells) is safe and may help healing in adults with deep burns. If you may qualify, you’ll be randomly assigned to receive the study treatment or a control.
This trial tests a treatment combining special healing cells (HUMSCs) and collagen protein applied directly to severe third-degree burns. It aims to help these deep wounds heal faster and with better outcomes.
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 treatment using a cell suspension applied with a special dressing to help heal second-degree burn wounds after surgical cleaning. The goal is to help burns heal better and potentially reduce scarring.
