Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting This study
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

Summary

This study tests whether adding hyaluronic acid to a standard burn cream (silver sulfadiazine) helps second-degree burns heal faster. Thirty people with similar burns on both sides of their body will have one side treated with the combo and the other with standard cream alone. The main goal is to see which side heals quicker.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
silver sulfadiazine combined with hyaluronic acid
What this could lead to
If it works, this could lead to faster healing for partial-thickness burns with a simple addition to standard care.
What could go wrong
This is a very small early trial (30 people) and not yet recruiting. The benefit may be small or not seen at all, and results may not apply to larger burns.
