Stem cells to help burn wounds heal after skin grafting
Part of Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a burn injury that needs a skin graft (moving healthy skin from one part of your body to cover the burn)
- Your burn covers less than 30% of your total body surface area
- You are between 18 and 65 years old
- You have never donated skin from this area before, and the skin to be grafted is medium thickness (about 0.4 mm)
- You are willing to have regular follow-up visits after surgery to check your healing
- You do not have severe kidney, liver, heart, or lung disease, and your blood pressure and blood sugar are controlled

Other trials that look related to this one.
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 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 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 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 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 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.
