Can stem cells heal burn scars? new trial aims to find out
NCT ID NCT07635875
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether injections of stem cells from donated fat tissue can improve the quality of old burn scars. 39 adults with hypertrophic scars (at least 2 years old) will receive stem cells in one scar area and a placebo in another. The main goal is to see if patients report less pain, itching, and tightness, and if scars look and feel better.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- allogeneic adipose-derived mesenchymal stromal cells (stem cells from donated fat tissue)
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could offer a new treatment to reduce pain, itching, and stiffness from burn scars, improving quality of life for survivors.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early phase 1/2 trial with only 39 people, so results may not apply to everyone. Stem cell treatments can have side effects like injection site reactions or unexpected immune responses.
