Study of a gel to reduce scarring after burn surgery
Part of Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This trial tests a gel called FS2 applied after skin graft surgery for burns. It aims to see if the gel can help scars heal better and look less noticeable.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 12 and 65 years old
- You have a burn that needed a skin graft (not on your face or genitals)
- Your skin graft area is between the size of a credit card and a small dinner plate
- You are not pregnant and do not plan to become pregnant
- You do not have other serious health conditions like uncontrolled diabetes or heart failure that could slow healing
- You are willing to apply the study gel yourself or have a caregiver help

This study tests new ways to reduce itching from burn scars. If you have a burn scar that itches and are between 18 and 79, you may be able to join and try a treatment that could help relieve the itch.
This trial tests whether a treatment called serial casting can help flatten and soften raised burn scars. If you have two scars that are still red and thick, this study may offer a new way to improve their appearance.
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 study tests a new dressing for burns that may need skin grafts. The dressing is made from a gel that helps wounds heal, and the study aims to see if it works better than standard care.
This trial tests a special gel designed to prevent raised, thick scars (hypertrophic scars) after surgery or injury. If you have a new scar from a C-section, breast implant, or clean cut, this study may help reduce scarring.
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.
