Fish skin graft for deep partial-thickness burns
Part of Genetic & congenital, Injuries & trauma, Skin clinical trials.
This trial tests if a fish skin graft can help heal deep burns and reduce the need for a skin graft from your own body. It compares the fish skin graft to standard care for burns on the torso or arms and legs.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 years or older.
- You have a thermal burn (from heat) that a doctor says needs a skin graft.
- The burn area is between 3% and 49% of your total body surface, and each treatment area is no larger than 2000 cm².
- The fish skin graft must be applied within 14 days of the injury.
- You cannot have a fish allergy (shellfish allergy is okay).
- You should not be pregnant or breastfeeding.

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 using fish skin grafts to help large wounds heal after surgery. It may help you leave the hospital sooner and heal better.
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 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.
This trial tests whether applying a special fish skin graft, along with standard compression therapy, helps heal leg ulcers caused by poor vein function (venous leg ulcers) that have not healed with standard care alone. If you have a nonhealing venous leg ulcer, this study may offer a new treatment option.
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.
