What this trial studies

This phase 1/2 interventional trial gives adults with 1–5% total body surface area third‑degree burns a topical treatment of human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells combined with bovine type I collagen, with comparison arms receiving collagen alone or standard sterile/Vaseline gauze dressing. Eligible participants are 18–65 years old and must be admitted within 72 hours of the burn. The primary focus is on safety and tolerability, with monitoring for adverse events, local reactions, and wound complications during follow-up. The study will also observe wound healing progress and signs of improved tissue repair.

Who should consider this trial

Good fit: Adults aged 18–65 with confirmed third‑degree burns covering 1–5% TBSA who can be admitted within 72 hours and complete follow‑up are ideal candidates.

Not a fit: Patients who are pregnant or lactating, have severe immunodeficiency or organ failure, uncontrolled wound infection, hypersensitivity to collagen or stem cell components, or burns outside the 1–5% TBSA window are unlikely to benefit.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, the approach could speed healing and reduce scarring for small-area third-degree burns.

How similar studies have performed: Preclinical work and early-phase clinical reports of mesenchymal stem cells and collagen scaffolds for wound repair have shown promise, but larger randomized studies are limited.
